Hi! My name is Lou Cooper and in October, I'm going to be getting top surgery! This has been over a year in the making and I am so excited and grateful that I will soon be able to go through life in a body I find more comfortable. I live in a big city and will be out of work for 1 1/2 to 2 months. This is going to be a significant loss financially.

I am hoping to raise money to help cover the cost of rent, utilities, surgery, groceries, medications, pre and post doctor's appointments as well as any unforeseen expenses while I am out of work. If you are even able to donate a dollar, it's a huge help and is deeply appreciated. If you're not in a place to donate, sharing this around is incredibly helpful as well. It means the world to me that I am so close to getting this procedure and means even more that you are taking the time to read, donate or share. Thank you so much!
