Hey community,

I am preparing for a major step in my healing journey: weight loss surgery. This decision comes after years of emotional, spiritual, and physical work to love and care for my body. I am ready to take this next step toward long-term health and strength.

While insurance covers part of the procedure, I am responsible for several costs out of pocket including over $6,000 for the procedure alone.

I am raising funds for:

This surgery is not about shrinking myself to fit anyone else’s standards. It is about honoring my body, my future, and the life I am building.

If you have ever been held by my organizing, my joy, my teaching, my care work, or my friendship, I would be deeply grateful for your support during this season of rest and renewal. Every contribution helps, whether it is $5, $50, or a share with your network.

Thank you for holding me in your heart and helping make this healing possible.

With love,

Makia
