Help Andy (nice) get top surgery (very nice)

Hello!  My name is Andy, I am 26 years old, and I am a laboratory technician at a bioscience company. I'm raising money to put towards funding my private top surgery. The NHS waiting lists have skyrocketed following the pandemic (and the situation was already dire beforehand) and I am not a fan of spending 15 years on NHS waiting lists in the hopes of being validated and maybe getting the care I need. My efforts to find a rich benefactor haven't bore fruit, so I'm asking my dear friends, chosen family, and the public instead. I have been waiting three years with the NHS so far, and am yet to have a date for a second consultation with the gender clinic - with many, many more appointments needed to get anywhere near an operating theatre, the only real option for me to receiving this life-saving procedure is to do it privately. I first realized I am trans over a decade ago and since then have gone through a lot of trauma regarding my identity. Unfortunately, things got to a point where my only glimpse of hope turned out to be the thought of not living much beyond the age of 30, so as not to see myself get older as someone I am not. This is an extremely important and personal thing for me, which I hope shines through despite my slightly jokey tone. I simply want to live my life in comfort and grow old happy. As of 02/02/2023, I have changed my funding goal from £7000 to £7350. Here is a breakdown of the costs involved:  I am looking to get a double incision mastectomy with Mr Ioannis Ntanos. As of July 2022, the cost of this procedure with him is £7000.  In addition to the procedure, there is a £200 consultation cost.  In order to get the surgery, I will need a private surgery referral, which costs £150.  Here are some links to provide more information:What is Double Incision Mastectomy?: https://genderkit.org.uk/article/double-incision-mastectomy/ Mr Ioannis Ntanos: https://www.ioannisntanos.com Surgery referral information: https://www.gendergp.com/help-centre/surgery-referral/ I will be fundraising by selling my old clothing and items, creating art in collaboration with others, and writing poetry. I will update you about these regularly to keep everyone up to date on our efforts! Thank you for your consideration :)
