The years passed and one day she had 103 kroner in her bank account. The bailiff had decided to take her house as she had a growing mountain of debt. In addition to that, Drea’s mother was then ill with dementia, and at the same time Drea had to support both herself and the two children.

Drea planned to sell her house before the Bailiff took it. But while the house was up for sale, Drea decided to get OnlyFans – and it became her salvation.
In an interview with Fox News, Drea says that her 16-year-old daughter encouraged her to take the plunge on OnlyFans, and that she even helps retouch the photos.
– She also edits the pictures, because they want special things that we couldn’t do, Drea tells Fox News.
Five minutes after getting the account on OnlyFans, Drea had made enough money to save her house from being sold or go to the Bailiff.

– It saved us. OnlyFans saved my life, 100%. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it really saved us. If anyone wants to judge me, go ahead. I just hope you don’t end up in the position I was in, having to take care of two small children. It saved our home, which is very important to us, she says in an interview with Daily Mail.
