Be Part of Amaya's Surgery Success Story
Donation protected
Hi everyone! My name is Amaya and I'm raising money for my bottom surgery which is, at this point, on track to happen September of 2026. I am looking to raise around $20,000 which will help to cover travel to New York and secure accommodations for surgery and other preliminary appointments. This will also help cover costs of surgery prep and hair removal. The biggest need for it however is to cover for the lack of income while being out of work during recovery.
A little about me: I work in the community as a part of the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico. We are a nonprofit that serves the Transgender Community of New Mexico in various ways. My job is to serve some of the most vulnerable members of our community that frequent our drop in center every week. We provide hot meals, clothing and even showers, as well as a supportive community to seek refuge in. While I love the work I do, and adore the clients we serve, as we are a nonprofit I don't make a ton of money.
Outside of that I'm a singer, a content creator and activist. I've helped raise funds for a friend fleeing Genocide in Gaza, and have done political lobbying for climate justice, data privacy and of course trans rights.
I believe thst people deep down are of love and compassion, and that any and everyone is capable of profound change. I am truly blessed and grateful to have a loving and supportive family that taught me the meaning of unconditional love.
While I am seeking other sources of income currently, the feat of making enough money to actually make my dreams come true and get the procedures I need feels astronomically impossible. I want to be able to continue the work I do in my community as well as provide myself the means for my own happiness and mental, emotional and physical well being. I've known who I am for a long time and I'm ready to make it happen for myself.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and I hope you can help a little (or a lot) and share to those who might be interested.
