Former model asks Trump to help her raise $8,000 for butt lift after faking depression to get 'free' nose job
After being rejected by the NHS for Brazilian butt lifts, former model Carla Bellucci is now trying other means to fund her latest surgery.
The mother-of-three who faked depression in the past to get "free" $8,477 nose job on the tax payer's dime is now crowdfunding to raise $7,266 to enhance her backside, the Daily Mail reports.
The 37-year-old ex-model, who hails from Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, set up a JustGiving page last week in a bid to attract donations to get butt implants at a private clinic.
She has managed to raise less than £20 ($24) so far, and one anonymous donor pledged £2 and wrote alongside, "Stop being a sponger and get a job."
Carla subsequently decided to think big and took to Instagram, sharing a video urging US President Donald Trump to help her in her crowdfunding.
"Hi guys, this is Carla Belucci here, this is a message for Trump," she said, sporting a low-cut red vest and the iconic Make America Great Again hat.
"I just want to say, when we have socialized medicines available like we do here in the UK on the NHS, everything's up for grabs. So this is a message for you Donald Trump, I would like you to help me in my crowdfunding page on getting my butt implants. And on that note, I just want to say, God bless America."
Carla's video appeal has garnered over 12,000 views thus far and some of the comments contained positive reactions. However, others were less sympathetic to her cause.
"God, you are desperate," said one user, while another posted, "Nobody's giving you any money. Who cares about your surgery? People will rather donate for children in need. Get a job."
Earlier this week, Carla told the public that she "really, really needs a new bum" for her "mental health" but that she is out of work and can't pay for it herself.
"The NHS definitely won't pay for it this time," she told The Daily Star. "(I) don't know why, transgenders get operations left, right and center, but they will not pay for my bum lift. I need it for my mental health, for my self-esteem, and it is just something that I need doing so bad and I know I can't pay for it."
According to her, she is banking on "the great British public" to fund the procedure, which comes with a high risk of failure.
But Carla admits she's willing to do "whatever it takes."
"Some people say it's dangerous but then you've got to take risks to get anywhere," she said.
