Fundraiser For Nonbinary GRS
Donation protected
I am raising money to stay in San Francisco for a month for my nonbinary gender affirmation surgery. As outlined by my surgeon, I will be required to stay in the Bay Area for around about a month. Up to a week before surgery for my preoperative appointments, and for three weeks after my surgery for postoperative appointments.
I am planning for April or May 2021 for the surgery.
While my government healthcare does cover the surgery itself it doesn't cover anything else. I am disabled and currently unemployed while I get many of my health issues sorted out.
The surgery itself is very unique, and unlike the standard GRS offered by most surgeons I will not be having a penectomy or an orchidectomy, or more simply, I'm getting penis and testicle preserving vaginoplasty that will be achieved by means of a peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty. While she has done a number of penis preservation vaginoplasties, I will be the first person who will also be retaining my testicles. Making me rather unique. Dr. Wittenberg has a number of very interesting videos describing how everything works in general on her YouTube channel and website.
I will be heavily documenting my journey in this and plan to make a number of videos on it on my YouTube channel as well as maybe a mini documentary. Seeing as how unique my surgery will be. Including before the surgery, after the surgery, recovery, how things work at various points after, and anything else relevant.
The cost to rent a room is between $1,000 and $2,000 USD for a month as short term accommodations. In addition to travel and living expenses for myself, and my two support people as I will be pretty much bedridden for at least a week and still need support for months afterwards, and also medical supplies for my recovery, and to keep a comfortable reserve in case of complications in addition to what little I can save I would be comfortable with about $7,000 CAD for the trip for the lot of us so that's my goal.
I said $5,000 USD in the video, but being Canadian I will have to set the fundraiser to Canadian dollars as I don't have an American bank account I'm setting the goal for $7,000 Canadian dollars which with the exchange rate as of making this fundraiser is just a touch over $5,000 US dollars with wiggle room for the exchange rate to move, and being a nice even number.
