Hi all!
My name is Taty (they/he) and I live in Chicago and work at Brave Space Alliance as the Mutual Aid Program Coordinator and Makeup Room/Den Supervisor. I’m also a co-founder of the Chicago Black Drag Council. I’m very excited to announce that my top surgery is scheduled for September 2nd! This is something I’ve wanted for a long time and I’m very grateful to have a job that prioritizes my health as a trans person and is able to give me PTO. With that money I’ll be able to cover rent, bills, loan payments, and some food but I’m still in need of a lot more to cover the rest of my surgery my insurance doesn’t cover, food, transportation, other medical supplies, and to pay my partner and roommates for taking care of me and my dog. Anything helps! Thank you all in advance.
Here is a breakdown of how I plan on spending the money:

Here is a breakdown of how I plan on spending the money:
- $1,309 - Surgery itself
- $1,400 - For my partner and roommates taking care of me during my recovery
- $100 - Food/transportation/medical supplies needs
If I make more than my goal I will donate the extra money to other Black trans folks that need help funding their surgeries. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@theythemtaty). Thank you again!
