Matty's ftm fund
Hello, I'm Matty. Please help me to become the real me . . .
Being (ftm) transgender is hard enough & the cost of fixing it doesn't help. Luckily, I've been able to get into gender therapy with my current insurance. However, everything else that would actually help me transition is out-of-pocket. I've had a lot of trouble finding employment due to my lack of experience and I'm still trying. I'm hoping there's some able people out there who'd be kind enough to help me out, even a little.
I've applied for surgery grants but I am one applicant of many and have little hope of winning. If I was super lucky & won, it would only cover top surgery & then the money would go towards everything else (such as testosterone & stuff).
It's hard when everyday no one sees you how you see yourself & when you look in the mirror it's a person you don't want to look at anymore. My chest is big enough that even a binder top doesn't flatten it enough. And my body shape is very feminine. I wish I could change the way I feel but It's been years & is not about to happen. I'm ready to change my life for the better!
This is all very costly & will be a lot to go through on my own but I am desperate to find true happiness & live out what's left of my youth the way I've dreamed. I don't have much but I will do what I can for people who donate!
Thank you
Some examples of what I've made (for the larger donators):
Marshall Lee's Guitar from show Adventure time - pendant
Ellie's keychain and button pin for a cosplay from game The Last of Us
A belt keychain for an original character costume
Anastasia's necklace for Anya costume (sry not a clearer picture)
I've also made things like pride necklaces from Monster Energy drink's colored tabs. I'd be willing to try an original design if I think I can do it.
If you'd rather just donate and not recieve a gift, that's of course fine too. Thank you to everyone who donates or even just shares this on their fb. : )
