Update Feb 2025:
Hi! I successfully had my surgery back in November! I'm ECSTATIC and honestly could not be more happy with my results.
Unfortunately, the cost of care estimate I was provided was significantly less than the actual cost of care. I've disputed charges and applied for financial assistance, both of which were declined/denied.
So, I could once again [insert Bernie Sanders meme] use a bit of help, if you can. The situation is not dire. I will be put on a payment plan that should be mostly manageable, but it does mean I'm planning to delay other care I need until my current medical debt is either paid off or significantly reduced. My current bill is just over $4000.00.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. :D

Hi, I'm Ash! I'm nonbinary, and I'm having chest reduction surgery this fall. Luckily, insurance will cover most of the cost, but I need a little help covering the rest of the cost of surgery, plus all of the extra expenses that aren't directly on a medical bill.
Once the surgery is paid for, the funds will go toward things like:
- Post-surgery compression garments
- Post-surgery pillows
- Specialized cold packs
- Occasional cleaning services
- Post-surgery soft food diet
- Occasional Door Dash
- A few new clothes!
- Any other outstanding medical bills
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, y'all!
