A woman who once lived off food banks has revealed that she now makes $50,000 per month on OnlyFans – thanks to a boob job that her mum paid for. Sofia Sunshine, 32, a model from British Columbia, Canada, previously made headlines after revealing how her “poor” lifestyle was transformed thanks to her successful career as a model.
Growing up, she recalls her mum, Samantha, 63, working hard to support the family – but due to getting arthritis in her 40s found herself unable to work at times. Living on the breadline, Sofia, who has 23,900 followers on Instagram (@x.sofiasunshine) tried multiple jobs, from waitressing to selling cars, in an attempt to help put food on the table, but struggled to find the right fit.
In 2017, she joined OnlyFans but after developing pancreatitis the model lost a lot of weight – and the shape of her breasts – while her earnings and confidence plummeted. That's when her mum stepped in and paid for a breast enhancement, so Sofia could keep doing what she loves.
“I’ve always loved having big boobs, as I loved the attention and [they] helped me feel sexual,” Sofia said. When I got sick and lost weight, it was like a huge part of my personality went missing.
“Most guys watch my content because they love my big boobs, so making content without them felt almost embarrassing. I ate through most of my savings during this time and I felt depressed, as I didn’t feel like myself without my boobs.
“After eight months, my mum stepped in and suggested she pay for my boob job.” Before falling sick with pancreatitis, Sofia boasted 32D breasts, which decreased to 32B over the course of her illness.
Now, $10,300 (£8,352) later, she has 36E breasts and says that she "finally feels like herself" again. Sofia said: “I cried tears of joy when I got my implants.
“Simply put, my mum chose to pay for my boob job because she loves me and wanted to see me happy again. She supports my industry and is proud of what I do for a living.
“My fans absolutely love how much support I get from my mum and they seem to love the bond between the two of us.” When lockdown hit in 2020, Sofia decided to make Samantha her official PA and now the model makes $50,000 (£40,547) per month.
While the mother-daughter-duo draw the line at being in each other’s presence during filming, Samantha isn’t bothered about working with her daughter on the adult content. Samantha told Jam Press: “I don’t care that she’s a sex worker.
“I love my daughter beyond measure and the only thing I want for her in this world is health and happiness. Watching her struggle with confidence and body issues was heartbreaking.
“One day I asked her if there was anything I could do to help with her struggle and she jokingly replied with ‘boobs please’. She was born with big boobs anyway, so I’m just fixing this one little thing.
“I’m happy that the breast implants will both give her back her confidence and give her a chance to earn more income.” From being homeless to now living in her dream home, Sofia earns enough to ensure that she – and her mother – will never have to go hungry again.
In a bid to help others, she also donates some of her earnings to those in need. Sofia added: “I donate a lot of money, it’s important to me.
“I’ll buy big boxes at shops that are then given to food banks or donation boxes at the pet store. It feels nice to be able to do this for people who are struggling like I did.”
