Top surgery, AKA, a mastectomy, is the removal of the breast tissue-the kind of surgery that would help me align more with my identified gender!

The goal is roughly $2.5K-$3K. The appointment has already been made for late February, so ideally, we meet the numbers before the 24th of that month!

I will be traveling internationally, which comes with safety risks, hence asking for the money so that I can be more assured of my safety. (Ex: the recovery suite room post-op.) The surgery alone would cost $10K in the US or Canada without insurance. Abroad, the cost for the surgery AND travel expenses comes to around $7K altogether. Additionally, I’ve seen previous surgery results from my selected doctor, and I believe he will offer the best results as someone with mastectomy experience and, even moreso, on my specific body type. You can find him @ drfelipeamaya on Instagram to see for yourself!

I’m doing my best not to ask for much. This GoFundMe is not asking for ANY funds regarding my top surgery. Rather, I’m asking for help with the miscellaneous costs that come with it. This includes things such as…

Recovery suite (~$1.3K)

-Recovery products (~$250)

-Round-trip flight (~$500)

-Dr’s letter (~$100)

-Medical reviews prior to surgery (as needed)

Without being too graphic, I knew I wanted to get this done since I was VERY young. The moment my chest started to develop, I wanted to hit the undo button. This is my opportunity to reclaim my own body-a development that’s been YEARS in the making.

All of this is to say that the preparations are made, I just need a bit of help with the step that remains! You are more than welcome to ask me questions! All I ask is that you donate or spread the word!
