Hi, I'm jay. I'm a trans masc and I'm getting top surgery in July. I work in a nursery where I'm paid minimum wage and so I only get statutory sick pay. It's also a very physically and emotionally intensive job so I have to take the entire recovery time off or risk injuries while working. I'd really like to take as long as possible off for recovery but sick pay is very terrible so I'm trying to raise some money to make that possible and the assorted things I need to buy for recovery - pillows, scar tape, scar gel etc.

I can't turn to my family for financial help unfortunately so I'm leaning on my partner (who is also disabled) and my community. Please donate if you can, every bit helps :)
