Hey everyone!

Thank you for taking a moment to click through to this page. I’m fundraising for my top surgery and wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself and where I’m at in my journey.

In case you don't know me - Hi! I’m Charlie Fitzjohn

For years I’ve wanted to start the process of getting top surgery, but it's felt inaccessible due to my work.

I work as a freelance makeup artist, and while I’ve had the honour of working consistently on projects that I’m passionate about, and working with and for my community - the instability of freelance has been a massive block for me in even dreaming about gender affirming surgery. It’s a surprisingly physical job that I wouldn’t be able to do while my body heals and the financial strain of being unable to work for 2 months has, to this point, stopped me in my tracks.

However, I'm approaching my 30th birthday, and the thought of starting the next decade of my life having not taken this step has finally pushed me to ask for some help.

With the cost of surgery being so high in the UK, I am looking at travelling to Estonia for my surgery. A wonderful friend of mine has offered to house me whilst I recover, and the difference in price has meant that finally surgery feels more accessible.

Donations will enable me to get the surgery, and support me through the 8 weeks of lost income.

We’ll also be throwing a big fundraiser party in the summer, with DJs and cabaret acts! The lineup is in the works and trust me... it's tasty... stay tuned

I want to say thank you in advance for coming with me on this journey. Your support and care mean the world to me and I can’t wait to start my 30s as Charlie (no)Titzjohn!

All my love,

Charlie xx
