MICHELLE'S SURGERY FUND⚕️

Hi, my name is Roxanne and I'm fundraising for my friend, Michelle. She is a black Trans Woman living in Brazil, one of the most dangerous countries to be Trans. She has already suffered several attacks because she is a Trans Woman, and I fear for her safety. She is looking for some help to find a safe home, get her surgery, and live a decent life without fear.  

This is her story: 

Home, Surgery and Recovery.

My name is Michelle, I am a trans woman and I have nowhere to live. My adoptive mother lived her entire life on rent, I couldn't fulfill her dream before she left. The dream of having a home for us.

As it is very difficult for a trans woman to get a job, I am unemployed. Thanks to the help of friends I have something to eat and wear. I change places frequently because of the threats I've been suffering.

It is very difficult to live in the country that kills the most transgender people in the world.

For a long time I thought about giving up and I wondered if this is what I really am, If I'm not wrong...

But that's who I really am and what I want to be. I want to be myself and be able to say it with pride. Help me to have as little as possible, a small place to live, my surgery and a decent life.
