Please help me raise funds for my friend's top surgery & moving out.
I am helping with their campaign due to their inability to start a fundraising in their own name, due to fears of being outted to their family and community.
My friend is a 18 year old South Asian - Middle Eastern closetted transgender teenage boy, so you can already imagine the tension and fear he constantly lives in each and every day. Unfortunately his household is very homophobic and transphobic, which is restricting him from coming out and living as his true self. His parents have been abusive and manipulative, guilt tripping him into hiding his sexuality (he had attempted to come out as lesbian before but was shot down, so coming out as transgender is a great risk for his well being). This has driven him to attempt suicide (multiple times). He currently has a job (whilst also being a college student), but it is not enough to move out or start his transition. He is saving up money but recently his home has been more toxic and hostile and moving out quickly is the best option.
The money raised will go towards helping him moveout, his top surgery, and overall transitioning. I, along with him would appreciate any help we could get, whether it be a donation, or even simply a share.
