Kieran's Fundraiser

Hi, I'm Kieran. I've been out as trans for two years now but have been looking to get gender affirming/chest surgery for much longer. I'm an undergrad student that's looking for a job after losing mine during the summer. I'm currently saving up for multiple reasons, but this surgery is one of them, if not one of my top priorities. I'm unfortunately not able to get this procedure covered by insurance as my family is extremely transpobic, I'm closeted, and they would not approve of it at all, despite it being downright neccessary for me to live a comfortable life. Surgeries are extremely pricey as I live in the US and my specific state is one of the most expensive to live in, and aside from generally having to save up for essentials and such, I unfortunately can't afford this surgery alone without putting myself in risk of financial problems. Getting this surgery would make me more comfortable in my skin than anything, if not feel safer in my own body and when I'm in public. Dysphoria has genuinely ruined aspects of my life that I wish I have the chance to experience in again; I'm afraid to be social, I'm embarrassed to be seen publicly, and it's worsened my anxiety with each day. I truly hope that I can achieve that level of security in my body one day. Anything at all is deeply appreciated. Thank you.
