<div>I've been ready for this for over 3 years but...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I failed to get a surgery date at the clinic I really wanted to get into for 3 years and then they lowered their age limit and it's no longer an option. I looked into other clinics and found PAI which has been around in one form or another for almost 40 years and has a great reputation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I inquired and was able to get a surgery date only 3 ½ months out. Now I've got to pull everything together in much less time than I thought I'd have. (Surgery dates at the other clinic were at least a year out.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those of you who don't know me, I'm a 58 year old trans woman who transitioned at age 51. After a decades-long career in IT, I became a licensed electrologist so I could earn a living while actually serving my community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because I was (mostly) unemployed/underemployed since 2020 and my business is only ramping up now, I just don't have the funds available for this desperately needed surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those of you who do know me.. Hey, It's me! I could really use your help with this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funds beyond my costs will be donated to the Trans Lifeline ( <a href="https://translifeline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://translifeline.org/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://translifeline.org/</a></a> ) which does great work. This is a crisis line by and for trans people and they will never call 911 on you. Both of those things are very important to me as a trans person who has had suicidal crises.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm a vegetarian and Thailand is notoriously carnivorous. I won't be able to eat the delicious street food both because it's full of animal products and because I have IBS and I just can't risk setting off a flare right after a major surgery. As a result, I'll have to buy food from a supermarket before my surgery so I can (hopefully) cook for myself for the 2 weeks after surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I leave on May 23rd and arrive on Sunday, May 25th. The next 2 days are a whirlwind of pre-surgery appointments and then the big day arrives. Surgery is on May 28th. I'll be in the hospital for 5 days so that means I'll be back at my hotel on June 2nd or 3rd, and there I'll (mostly) stay until I head home on June 18th.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Budget Outline:
</div>
<div>flight - $3400
</div>
<div>procedure - $9300
</div>
<div>hotel - $2100
</div>
<div>care giver travel assistance – $1950
</div>
<div>special food requirements – food budget - $400
</div>
<div>incidentals (supplies needed while there) - $150
</div>
<div>transaction fees for GoFundMe - 2.9%
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Total = 17,800
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>None of this covers my loss of income for 6 weeks and my normal living expenses (mortgage, electric, etc.). I'm optimistic that I can cover those myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'd appreciate any help with the surgery &amp; trip expenses that I can get. This has become even more important for me given the current political environment in the US.
</div>
