Update: after saving really hard this year with my partner, we have managed to save enough for my surgery!!
I HAVE A SURGERY DATE!! 3RD FEB 2025
Any donations from now on will pay for my travel, aftercare and other accommodation expenses that could come up and since I’ll be recovering, I won’t be able to work for At least a couple months so anything could help me out.
Thank you to everyone that previously donated! This wouldn’t be possible without you!! I’m so grateful!!
My story:
Hi, my name is ash, I’m 22 and from London, I have been looking to get gender reassignment surgery for many years now and I began saving for the private procedure before covid, I previously had another Gofundme page but that was randomly deleted. During covid I was unable to work and this put a pause on my ability to keep saving. I am looking to raise £4,000 to cover travel and surgery costs for summer/winter 2024, I plan to have my surgery in Istanbul, Turkey. I have been waiting to have this surgery since before I was 18 and I was added to the uk waitlist but that was 3 years ago and I haven’t received any sign that I will be able to receive this surgery through the NHS. There is lack of funding and lengthy waiting lists on the NHS. I hope that getting chest
masculinising surgery private can take pressure off of these services as well be more time affective for me and my wellbeing. After years of discomfort and since only being 18 it has been restricted to my options as a young trans man to seek the medical side of my
transition, I have been out as trans since November 2015 when I was 13. I have worn a chest compression binder from that time but these come with risk and damage, I have possibly permanently damaged ribs and affected breathing. I experience a lot of body dysphoria surrounding my chest. Please feel free to read more about the surgery here;
Any shares or donations will be deeply appreciated! Thank you for being here!
