A Golden Opportunity to Help Matt get Top Surgery

My name is Matt, and I'm a 27-year-old transgender man reaching out for your support. I've been living as myself for several years now, and it's been an incredible journey of self-discovery. However, one significant step in my transition still feels out of reach: top surgery.

For me, this isn't just a cosmetic procedure; it's a deeply personal and necessary step to align my physical body with my identity. The dysphoria I experience daily has a profound impact on my mental health and overall well-being. I truly believe that top surgery will be life-changing, allowing me to finally feel at home in my own skin and move forward with greater confidence and peace.

The funds raised will not only go towards the out-of-pocket medical expenses but also help cover my essential bills during the recovery period, which can be several weeks.

Adding to the urgency, I'm currently a USAID employee, and my position is at risk. This uncertainty makes the financial burden of this surgery even more daunting. Having this surgery would allow me to focus on my future with a renewed sense of self, regardless of my employment situation.

Every single contribution, no matter the size, will bring me closer to this vital step in my transition. Your generosity will directly impact my life in ways you can't imagine. It will allow me to live more fully, authentically, and with a weight lifted off my shoulders, both literally and figuratively.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and considering a donation. Your support means the world to me. Please feel free to share this campaign with your networks.

(I hate asking for help, but we all need community in times like these.)

Thank you,

Matt
