Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Alex Vaughan, who is currently on a life-changing journey toward gender-affirming top surgery scheduled at the end of October. As many of you know, this procedure is not just cosmetic — it’s essential for Alex to live comfortably, confidently, and authentically.

Unfortunately, the cost of top surgery—including the procedure itself, travel, time off work, and recovery expenses—adds up quickly and is not fully covered by insurance. That’s where this fundraiser comes in. With your support, we can help relieve some of the financial burden from Alex and make this long-awaited surgery a reality. Alex’s co-pay is $6,000. Will you help cover the co-pay?

About Alex:

Alex is one of the most compassionate, hardworking, and genuine people I know. They’ve shown up for their friends and community in countless ways — now it’s our turn to show up for them. This surgery will allow them to align their body with their true self and breathe easier, both literally and emotionally.

Where Your Support Goes:

• Surgery costs and hospital fees

• Travel and accommodations

• Post-op supplies and medications

• Time off work for recovery

• Any unexpected expenses that come up along the way

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring Alex one step closer to feeling at peace in their body. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with your friends, family, and social networks. Your support means everything.

Let’s come together and help Alex thrive.
