Adam's Top Surgery!!!

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Adam, and I am a 19 year old transgender individual. Although this same story has been told many many times by many many people, I feel that reiterating it is necessary, considering. I discovered the term transgender in my early middle school years, and my life simultaneously clicked into place and fell apart at the same time. I was amazed to find out that what I had been feeling for so long wasn't just me going crazy but was something that could actually be fixed, it also led to the pain of trying to cope with it alone, as I was really young and really scared of friends and family not supporting me.  I did a lot of research on my own for quite a few years, realizing that transitioning was something that I could not live without.
I have been struggling with dysphoria my entire life, and the time has come where I am finally able to become the person I was always meant to be. The next step of my journey is top surgery.  By some miracle, I was able to schedule a surgery date for November 15th, 2018 with the most amazing surgeon Dr. Russel Sassani at Take Shape Plastic Surgery. However, this doesn't give us much time to come up with the money that we need. 
Unfortunately, Take Shape is going to stop taking my insurance on December 1st, which means that if we don't make the payment deadline (November 1st) my family will have to switch our insurance company in order to remain with Dr. Sassani. In my eyes, switching surgeons is not an option, as he has calmed my nerves and has made me feel extremely comfortable through this entire process.
I've always had a difficult time asking for help, and without your support this opportunity to begin the next chapter of my life in a body that enables me to be myself is not possible. I ask, not only on my behalf, but also for others out there in my situation.  If you can help, or even just share this I would be extremely grateful. Thank you to everyone for helping make this dream come true!
