Donate for Rian's Gender-Affirming Surgery

Dearest friends, family, and kindest of strangers,

I’m Rian, a 31-year-old AFAB (assigned female at birth) person from Seattle, Washington. Growing up in a Baptist church and attending Bible college shaped my early years, but at 20, I found the courage to embrace my queer identity. I’m incredibly thankful for my supportive community, which has been instrumental in my journey.

Why I Need Your Help

Top surgery can be expensive, and I estimate the total costs will be around $12,000. This will cover the surgery itself, recovery, and any additional expenses. I’m looking at options both in Washington State and abroad to find the best quality care at the most affordable price.

This surgery is crucial for me to feel more at ease in my own skin. I want my body to match my mind, enabling me to engage fully with my community and life without feeling restricted.

Why Now

I’ve wanted top surgery since 2018, and after a lot of reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to make this important change for my health and well-being. This step is about aligning my body with my mind.

Furthermore, a certain president-elect has made several campaign promises that would restrict, and potentially even criminalize, gender-affirming healthcare. As such, I am seeking to schedule this surgery before this opportunity potentially vanishes. I need your help to make this happen in time.
