Give Lauren her new voice
Donation protected
My name is Lauren Butcher. I'm a punk singer, occasional author, radio presenter and proud transgender woman.
I am raising funds to get vocal feminisation surgery in Melbourne. I have recently been informed I am on the waitlist to receive the surgery and I'm reaching out to you to help me make this life-changing surgery a reality.
Back in 2019, I booked myself for a consultation to receive vocal feminisation surgery. In 2020 I flew to Melbourne and met with my surgeon. Unfortunately, the unpleasantness hit the globe and my surgery was pushed back indefinitely. I had lost hope of receiving the surgery, until a month ago when I got a text message letting me know I was on the waitlist. The real waitlist!
I received some money from some beautiful folks back in 2020 and now I'm raising the rest of the money. I will likely dip into my super fund to pay for this surgery, so your help would be appreciated. You would be changing my life.
Your money will go toward:
- Flights to and from Melbourne
- Accommodation and food in Melbourne
- The surgery itself
- Rent, as I won't be working for a while
- Speech therapy sessions here in Perth for recovery
To be able to speak and sing in a voice that doesn't cause so much discomfort would be such a relief. My voice in my mind doesn't match what comes out of my mouth and I find myself holding back and not speaking when I should. This surgery would put an end to this profound incongruence.
Thank you so much for your support.
Love,
Lauren
