help Graham with top surgery expenses :)

Hi!

I'm Graham, a trans guy in my mid-20s living in Seattle. As a sort of birthday present for myself, I'm getting top surgery on April 16! This is something that I never imagined needing, but the longer I've transitioned, the more I've realized how much this surgery will improve my quality of life.

I teach preschool, and while I'm lucky enough to have healthcare through my job, my out-of-pocket maximum is more than I can afford on teacher pay. After surgery, I'm going to have to take unpaid time off of work since I won't have full use of my arms and because little kids require a lot of physical ability from their caregivers! I'm hoping to use this to get to a point where I'm able to rest and recover without feeling panicked about medical debt or basic costs of living.

(P.S.... GoFundMe takes a small percentage of all money donated, so if you'd rather send money directly, my venmo is aldibranded)

Thank you <3
