Hello,

Thank you for clicking onto my fundraiser! I will keep it short and to the point: I have started this fundraiser for myself because I am awaiting a date for top surgery. While I am super excited, I am also worried about the financial aspect. Since I have to take so many weeks off for recovery, I’ll be struggling quite a bit financially. I set the goal to what it is to help ease some of this financial stress (i.e. to help cover my rent/bills, supplies i’ll need while post op & some of the surgery bills themselves). Asking for help has never been easy for me, but my trust in my community for support helps ease some of that discomfort!

Simply put my chest has and continues to be my biggest dysphoria trigger. It has been a discomfort to me for as long as I can remember, but of course, puberty aggravated that discomfort to the highest degree. I never thought this would at all be accessible for me honestly, so it feels surreal to be writing this out. I have taken the steps to finally feel completely at ease in my body. Again, all I’m waiting for is the date. So please, if you’re able to donate, anything helps and is greatly greatly appreciated!!!
