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
