Hi, my name is Anja, and I'm a girl. A trans woman, specifically; I realized I was trans and began my transition back in 2020, and it's been the best thing I've ever done for myself. As part of that transition journey, I'm having bottom surgery!

My surgery date was initially set for June 1st, but it got moved up to May 4th, which, along with some unexpected expenses earlier in the year, has my finances a bit shakier than I'd hoped. Combine that with my girlfriend not having found a job yet after moving to Cleveland (great for care during recovery, less great for budget!) and the budget is looking a bit tight.

All money raised from this will go to cover expenses from surgery and the three months I'll be on short-term disability. Any funds beyond that will be used to support other trans folks in my community here in Cleveland.
