Hi everyone, my name is Enzo Hearn and I am a trans man trying to overcome a cruel financial obstacle to get life-affirming care.

I need your help to raise $10,000 by April 20th for my top surgery. Every single dollar brings me one step closer to finally receiving this essential medical care.

Just recently, I finally received the incredible news: I was approved for top surgery! For a moment, I felt like the grueling process of transition—the appointments, the therapy, and the medical hoops—was finally paying off.

But that joy was immediately followed by a devastating blow. I found out my Medicaid had lapsed. When I desperately appealed, I was told the shocking reason: I make $200 over the income limit.

I am a part-time worker who has been working full-time hours just to stay afloat. Because I worked a few extra shifts to make ends meet, I was punished by a system that decided my ability to have a necessary, life-saving surgery was worth less than $200 a month. It feels absolutely hopeless to have gone this far—hitting my 1-year on Testosterone milestone—only to have this last, critical step blocked by a tiny, impossible financial hurdle.

My insurance will no longer cover the procedure, so I have to cover the full cost myself. The $10,000 goal will go directly toward:

• Surgeon's Fees & Anesthesia

• Operating Room/Facility Fees

• Essential Post-Op Supplies and Medications

• Covering two weeks of lost wages while I am required to take off work for recovery.

This procedure isn't cosmetic; it is a vital necessity for my mental and physical health. Right now, I have to wear a restrictive chest binder almost every day. It causes physical discomfort, back pain, and difficulty breathing. The constant need to hide my body leads to daily anxiety and dysphoria that makes working and simply existing feel like a constant battle.

Getting this surgery means I can finally:

• Breathe freely and move without pain.

• Look in the mirror and see the man I am.

• Start living my life fully, not having to worry about how my body is perceived at work, at the gym, or just walking down the street.

I am asking for your support now more than ever. If 10,000 people give just one single dollar, I meet my goal.

1. Donate $1 (or whatever you can spare): Every dollar counts. Seriously, $1 gets us 1/10,000th of the way there.

2. Share this story: If you can't donate, please share this link on your social media, via email, or in a text message. Ask your friends to share it, too.

Thank you so much for reading and for helping me close this final, cruel gap to a life of peace and congruence. I will keep this campaign updated every step of the way!
