Support Jay’s top surgery
Donation protected
My name is Jay Brown and I am in need of FTN top surgery.
It kind of kills me to ask for help. I am a pretty private person and to take such a large risk behind closed doors is huge for me, let alone asking the world to help me through it. Letting people into my very sturdy walls has never been easy, but it's about time I start breaking those walls down so that I can finally feel comfortable in my own skin.
That is why I am asking for your help. There has always been one thing that doesn't fit. One thing that doesn't feel like me, a constant reminder that weighs on me physically and mentally. I have breasts. Yes, that is traditional with female anatomy. Unfortunately, I am not nor have I ever been traditional. There has never been anything in my life or on my body that I have wanted to change besides my chest. I live a good life, a happy life. But the detriment of having breasts has always been in the back of my mind. When I close my eyes and I see the me I've always been in my head, I don't have a female chest. I have been told, "oh get over it, you're a girl. That's what God gave you and you just have to live with it." I have had enough of these excuses. Now is the time for me to be me, but I need help.
I have been saving everything I can, setting pennies aside if that's all I had. I have started applying for grants, but they are highly competitive. There are so many people in the LGBT+ community that need this too.
So here I am. Asking my friends and family for help. If there is anything you can give - pennies, nickels, dimes, a message of hope. Grateful isn't a strong enough word for what I will feel. If you are unable to donate please share this message - Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, everywhere and anywhere. The more people that see it the more awareness that is raised for the community and the higher the possibility of me finally being 100% Jay. All of the money will go directly to surgery and hospital fees. I am not asking for a cent more than what I need.
Surgical fee: $9,000
Hospital fee: $2,275
Reschedule fee: $1,000
Pathology fee: $300
Total: $12,575
Thank you for sticking with me and having the patience to get to know my story. Thank you for being you. If you'd like to know more or you have any questions, please feel free to reach out via My instagram
