Alex’s Transition Fund

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the link. I’ll try to keep this as brief but detailed as I can so I don’t bore you ;)

My name’s Alex, I’m a transguy (nearly 3 years on T, yay) that’s been needing top surgery for years now. Sadly I can never have enough money saved up at one time to pay for it, since bills are quite high and other difficult financial issues. My mother goes to the hospital up to 3x a week sometimes for her serious health problems, so it puts a pretty heavy strain on things. Fortunately, most of her care is covered by insurance... but my surgery and even hormones are not.

I’ve explored every option possible and hate asking for help (Stubborn pride maybe? I am a Leo after all lol), so GoFundMe was a last resort. I’d appreciate any help I can get, even if all you can do is share the link. Everything counts. My transition has been a long and tough process, but I’m not giving up on my freedom. All I need is your help getting to the finish line.

If you’d like to know more about me or my story, ask away. I’m generally a pretty open guy. DM me @ BreadPilot94 on Twitter and Instagram, or just say hey!

The surgeon I’m most comfortable with and feel is right for me... is all the way in Florida. But I’m lucky I have a friend who just so happens to live only 20 minutes away from his office. I’ll be staying with her, saving a ton of hotel/travel expenses.

What exactly would the funds cover you ask? All of this...

* $9,000 procedure
* Hospital fees/taxes
* Medications
* Aftercare supplies
* Round trip plane ticket
* Food for 2 weeks
* GoFundMe fees and more

Update: 6-4-19

I’ll be at Philly Pride this Sunday, I’d love to meet some new friends. Maybe personally thank previous donors, should I come across any. I always reply through the app, but if I missed any (sorry!) just know I really appreciate you. To the anons, thank you as well. I hope you check back in on this and know that you’ve been acknowledged. You’re all life savers.
