Top Surgery Fundraiser
Donation protected
I'm raising money for top surgery. Please read more in the description below. Thanks for your time!
Hi there! I want to start by saying thank you. The simple fact that you’re taking a minute to read this means the world to me because I want to talk about something personal and taking the time to write this out hasn’t been easy. So again, thank you. You’re the best.
To put it plainly, I’ve always hated my chest. I try hard not to look at my breasts and when I do, I feel a pit in my stomach. When I look in the mirror, I feel disappointed that my body doesn’t reflect how I feel inside. I’ve taken steps that served as short term solutions; I’ve worn tight bras and binders and I’ve built a wardrobe of oversized clothes to cover up my chest. I even made the decision to have a breast reduction back in 2018. It relieved some of the pain I was feeling in my shoulders and my back, but there was still something wrong. I still didn’t feel like me.
So now we’ve arrived at the long-winded point of all of this, which is that I am pursuing top surgery. Writing that out is still scary. It still feels out of my reach, partly for financial reasons, but mostly because my identity made me feel like I wouldn’t qualify, or that I could be turned away.
If I want to feel at home in my own body, this is something that I need, and I can’t let my fear of rejection or cost scare me away from being happy. This procedure can cost anywhere from $5,000 - $10,000, depending on many factors. I need to start raising money for this so I can live a more comfortable and happy life.
All proceeds will go to making my body a home in my long, exhausting, and beautiful journey in queerness.
Love,
Morgan (she/her)
