Dearest friends, family, and kind strangers,

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

I'm reaching out with hope to ask for your support for my partner, Clay.

We are raising funds to help him access gender affirming surgery.

Gender affirming surgery represents far more than a medical procedure.

For my partner, it is an opportunity to finally live with dignity, comfort, and peace in his own body.

Every day that this care remains out of reach is another day he carries the emotional burden of waiting for treatment that is fundamental to his wellbeing.

For years, we have worked tirelessly to fundraise for this procedure, making sacrifices wherever possible. Unfortunately, recent financial hardships have forced us to redirect those savings towards essential living expenses and other unavoidable responsibilities, placing Clay's surgery further out of reach.

Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to rebuild those savings while meeting the rising costs of everyday life. We are still a long way from reaching the amount needed to make this life changing surgery a reality, which is why we are turning to our community for support.

It is incredibly difficult for us to ask for help, but we have reached a point where we cannot achieve this alone.

If you are in a position to donate, no matter the amount, your generosity will bring Clay one step closer to receiving the care he so urgently needs. If donating is not possible, sharing this fundraiser with your family, friends, and community would be an equally meaningful act of support.

All funds raised will go

directly towards:

• Gender Affirming Surgery Fee

• Anaesthetia Fee

• Hospital Fee

• Post Operative Care & Recovery

Thank you once again,

Emmett. x
