<div>Hello friends,
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>My name is Claude (they/them), and I am fundraising for my top surgery in 2022. I have a consultation with a surgeon tomorrow, and I would love to have a date confirmed in the upcoming months. Summertime will be the sweetest.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>It’s been a five-year journey to discover and understand better who I am, my gender expression through words, profound realisations and necessary heartbreaks. Slowly and steadily growing stronger in my sense of self, reclaiming my body, my masculinity. How to dance in the world.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div> It’s been challenging as needed for my younger self to come out again and again. Transforming fears and re-inviting joy. The path is ultimately about authenticity, vulnerability part of the healing. I’ve now reached a place where I feel grounded, supported by loved ones. Genuinely ready for this milestone. And so filled with excitement for what will come next.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Trans healthcare in the UK has been challenging to navigate; paying for private care has been my choice since the beginning, including ongoing therapy for the last two years and two referrals necessary for non-binary patients.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The funds will help me complete the savings I already have for the actual surgery, cover a consultation preceding the operation, travel+accommodation costs on the day and the additional check-ups, the time off from work I deeply desire for the best recovery possible.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>  If I reach that goal, I also aim to gather a few of my chosen family members for a celebration.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Thanks for your time and care, contributions and shares.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>To all the forms of support I have experienced so far, and the ones I look forward to giving and receiving in the future.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>So much love,
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Claude
