Hello Friends! Welcome to Mags’ Top Surgery Recovery Fund. Wow, THANK YOU to everyone who has donated or taken the time to share. We started with low expectations and are so grateful for all the support. We are blown away to have already surpassed our initial $5k goal. To give Mags a more comfortable cushion to recover, we hope to raise another month's worth of living expenses, $2.5k. This includes rent, utilities, insurance, groceries, and medication. This will give them three months to focus on healing.

After years of waiting, Mags finally has access to the gender-affirming care they deserve. Luckily, they found a surgeon covered by health insurance. While it’s a relief to have the surgery covered, there is significant recovery time involved. They need financial support during their recovery to cover 3 months of living expenses such as rent, utilities, insurance, groceries, and medication.

Mags, an artist and small business owner, faces financial challenges during their recovery period. Being self employed means no PTO to cover time away from work. They operate a cleaning business, which is physically demanding work. As you can imagine, this is both daunting and scary for Mags.

That being said, this surgery is necessary for their physical and mental well being. Since they were young and their chest grew in, it has brought them an immense amount of physical pain as well as mental and emotional fatigue from having to deal with dysphoria on a daily basis. Having this surgery will allow them to connect and care for their body in ways that are affirming to who they are.

With your help, Mags can take the necessary time to rest, giving their mind and body the ability to focus on healing. The suggested donation is $50, but anything helps.

Thank you for supporting Mags on this journey towards healing and self-affirmation! It means the world to them.
