Help A Black Trans Artist Make It To Top Surgery
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Idas.
I’m 23 years old, African American/Dominican/Italian, trans masc, a multidisciplinary artist (mainly painting and sculpture) and extremely involved in spirituality and animal welfare and put my energies in many causes in my community, from education to gender identity and racial issues.
I’ve been relying mostly on the money coming from my art sales and a few jobs throughout the last years, with some help from my family. I live in Italy and I’ve been working at a hotel last year, but due to the pandemic we’ll be unable to open this year and with the ongoing job crisis, I’m not sure when I will be able to find a temporary one in an environment that’s as accepting of my ethnicity, sexuality and gender identity as my last workplace was.
Before the pandemic, I had finally planned my top surgery, which was supposed to take place this October, but due to how things turned out, it’s currently being postponed to an unknown date.
It’s been the surgery I’ve been in desperate need to get for almost a decade, but unfortunately, due to a series of events it now seems like something once again far out of my reach.
I had initially started this campaign to collect enough money to get my top surgery but with how things have been going at this point I’m not even sure I can afford staying at my apartment away from a triggering environment much longer.
I’d be beyond glad and willing to offer my own paintings and illustrations or take commissions in exchange for your help, feel free to contact me here for more info regarding my art and for my PayPal.
