Hey Everyone

I’m Arden Hart.

If you don’t know me I’m a trans woman. Producer on The Line and activist.

I opened this fundraiser 2 years ago to help raise money for my GRS/SRS/sex change operation whatever you want to call it. The big snip.

I hit some roadblocks a while back that made it clear I wasn't going to be able to get the surgery any time soon, so I closed the fundraiser and stopped taking donations until I could guarantee that the money you all so generously donated would be able to be used for it's intended purpose.

Well I finally have some good news. I am scheduled for surgery on June 3rd of this year! I am beyond excited. A little nervous too of course, recovery is going to be brutal, but mostly excited. It's part of why I've been pretty quiet on all my platforms the last few months.

But I'm reopening this fundraiser starting today (April 4th 2026) and lowering the goal because I actually don't need to make nearly as much as I thought. What you all have already raised for me is more than enough for my out of pocket payments and now I'm really looking for support for the hotel/airbnb I will need to book for 10 days in recovery at my surgeons location with space for my family who will be there to assist me. Coverage for the inpatient stay at the surgeon's facility, and coverage for extra things like anesthesia, post surgery recovery supplies, bills etc.

Luckily I won't be out of work for much time because as most of you know I'm a producer for The Line network and most of my job involves my ass in a desk chair in front of a computer in my own house.

So I'm asking for a total of $16 to cover all of those extra expenses which is only $8,000 more than we already raised when I started this.
