Help Franklyn Make His Top Surgery Dream A Reality

Hello! I'm Frank, a trans Texan in my mid-20s. I am planning to get top surgery this summer/autumn, and I need your help.

For almost 4 years, I've happily been on T, much to the chagrin of my family of origin. The painting I've included here is of my basket of HRT injection supplies, a piece I was honored to feature in a local gallery for Pride month in 2023. I've also enjoyed the opportunity to serve our queer community on the committee of the Wimberley Pride march.

Since I was young, I've known the truth that surgery would eventually be a necessary step in order to feel at-home in my body. Now that it's in the works, I feel so excited that I can hardly believe it's real. However, this dear dream of mine may not be realized if I cannot meet the costs. I've been working hard and saving up, but the financial burden remains overwhelming. That's why I'm reaching out for help.

Any contribution — no matter how small — helps me move forward into a version of my body and my life where I will feel immense joy, freedom, and relief from lifelong dysphoria.

My sincere thanks to anyone who's taken the time to read my story here, and infinite gratitude to anyone who's able/willing to contribute. I can't wait to get this weight off my chest (pun intended).
