Z's top surgery fund

hi everyone, i'm finally physically, mentally and spiritually well enough to undergo the surgery that will make my life better. i'm ready for it, just need help to pay for it. please support if you can. i appreciate every penny and everyone who's helped with chats and encouragement so far.

a bit about me: i am mid 30s, live in Scotland, live a bits and bobs life. work in community projects, arts, whatever I can do to make cash. i have spent the last 5+ years dealing with chronic illness and am managing pain/fatigue better now so able to take this massive leap. i am studying acupuncture and hope to set up a community clinic in the near future. i love birds and bodies of water and go back to a few special places on repeat.

this money will help me pay for the surgery itself (£5,100), the referrals from the psychiatrist and psychologist that i need before the surgery is allowed, the flights for myself and two carers and the accommodation abroad. the money I save from working will cover my rent, bills and food for the time I cannot work.

this surgery will help me to feel more at home in my body and the world. i hope to wear something other than layers of baggy clothes in summer 2025.
