Help Bethany During Surgery Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, friends. Thank you for coming to visit this page. If you feel called to donate, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Any amount is appreciated.


HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:
I am having a gender-affirming surgery called "top surgery" or "chest masculinization surgery."


WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME:
I never thought I would have the courage to allow myself to have a procedure that would make me feel more comfortable, natural and at home in my body. Having financial support will enable me to heal with more ease and without the pressure of needing to rush back to work before I am physically ready.


WHY DO I NEED HELP?
Fortunately, this surgery is covered under my health insurance, for which I am extremely grateful.
However, I will not be able to work during the 6-week recovery period and I am seeking a new job for when I'm able to go back to work.
The timing of this surgery coincides with an employment change, as the family I've been nannying for will no longer need care.


WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
The money will go towards all of my post-surgery needs while I am recovering and support me through this gap in my employment.


I REALLY WANT TO SAY:
In a world where gender-affirming surgeries can be graciously accepted and also vehemently criticized, I am privileged to have this opportunity and to have California health insurance. Thousands of non-binary/trans humans around the world have to fight for medical care, while aiming to feel comfortable in their own bodies.
It is vital for them to know that gender-affirming care does exist and that there are a ton of people who accept, love and support who they are and how they identify.
