Help Eli Get Top Surgery!

Eli is having top surgery at the beginning of February! Donations to this gofundme will help with the cost of surgery, rent, and lost wages while recovering. Thank you for supporting them!

Eli is a playwright and photographer who is currently supporting themself through grad school for playwriting. Their plays have queer and trans characters exploring themes about love, family, and isolation. Their work has been produced at The University of Iowa, Dreamwell Theatre, Artemisia Theatre, and The Story Theatre.

Eli is beloved by their friends! Eli is an incredible support to us all with rides to the airport, being an attentive listener, and always ensuring a little treat is procured! We want to give the generosity back to Eli that they shower us with.

A few thoughts from some of Eli’s friends:

Kailee “It's hard to write down a reason why someone should support Eli; because when it comes to Eli and support I've never really had to put it into words. They seem to just ~ know~ when they are needed. They're the type of person you don't have to ask for help, or even tell them what kind of gift you want for your birthday. They have a very special skill in knowing exactly what the people around them just might need, or want, and of course they never ask for anything in return. Which is why I'm asking for your support for Eli. They're just a genuinely good person, and they deserve to feel genuine, and good in their skin.”

Emma “eli was one of the first friends i made post-graduation, a time where i thought making friends would be near impossible. they welcomed me with open arms and i haven’t let them go since. eli is someone you can count on for everything without ever asking for anything. i can’t think of anyone more deserving of a helping hand❤️”

Wren “Eli is someone who truly cares about other people, and is always helping others when they’re in need, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor and help support them!”

Riley “Eli has made me laugh harder and think deeper than anyone I have ever known and they so deserve to feel even a percentage of the joy that they bring to other people.”

Help us support Eli in making one of their dreams come true!
