My name is Eli , I’m a 25 year old queer transmasc from the United States .

I came out as trans in 2014 and have been living authentically as myself ever since , and I would like to finally have the body to match . My chest dysphoria has always caused me great distress , and so top surgery would be life changing for me . I have caused damage to my ribs from binding for so many years and experience a lot of back pain from daily binder use in addition to the pain I already experience from my fibromyalgia . Getting top surgery would not only greatly improve my mental health but my physical wellbeing too .

Every dollar donated will go directly into my savings account and be put towards the cost of surgery as well as for medication and other expenses while I am out of work recovering .

I hate to ask for money and I know that financial insecurity is a common occurrence for so many right now , so please don’t feel obligated to donate if you aren’t able . Anything is appreciated immensely , and I am just as grateful if you would just share this around .

Please help me change my life for the better and finally feel comfortable in my body .
