Hi there - you may know me from my previous campaigns for Head Girl and UCCSU Entertainments Officer, or maybe you don't know me at all, but thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully help me out. This is my most important campaign yet :)

I am hoping to get gender affirming care this year but because of the broken system in Ireland I will have to travel abroad for top surgery. Between the cost of the surgery, after-care, and travel this will cost thousands of euros. This has been something I have wanted for years and with the help of my loved ones I now have the courage to take this huge step.

I am so grateful for any support you can give me. I totally understand if you are not in a position to donate so sharing this GoFundMe anywhere you can will also help me achieve my goal.

Any money received will help me on my journey, and anything received in excess of that will be donated to other trans people in need.

Thank you so much! Solidarity forever.

M O'Connell
