Help a trans woman afford an emergency surgery
Hi there! My name is Nova. I'm a 19 year old trans woman living in Colorado. I am currently in need of two surgeries, and one of them has become emergent. The first surgery I need is a lingual frenectomy which is estimated to cost $795 with additional expenses for aftercare. This is to fix an overly tight lingual frenelum, also known as being tongue tied, which is causing me a lot of pain and swelling. The second surgery I need is to fix an issue directly caused by my mother. She was physically abusive towards me, and one of the things she would do was stomp on my feet when I tried to escape her. I need two full nail removals which is estimated to cost $216 plus additional for aftercare. The rest of the money will be used for aftercare and transportation.
Thank you so much for your help!
