Hey, most of you know me, but by the off chance that you don't, my name is Hollis! I'm getting top surgery at the end of August and could not be more ready. It's been a dream of mine for years to have this done, and I finally have the time and means to do so. (Sort of. And that's where you come in!)
(Hey, look, it's me! With some boobs, unfortunately.)
Pandemic times have not been kind to us in general, and I, too, have had a pretty bad year. I've been suffering from degenerative arthritis in my two lower vertebrae, which has been eating up all of my free money since 2021 and then some. While I had an ample amount saved for top surgery, most of that has gone toward paying medical bills related to my back. That's the state of healthcare in the U.S. and we sure do love to see it! (This is sarcastic and I scream every day about the healthcare system here.)
That's why I'm asking for any amount you can spare to help me pay for my top surgery. My goal is $1,500, which will cover the fees GoFundMe takes out and the surgery itself, plus a bit of extra to cover my follow-up appointments relating to the surgery.
I joke around a lot with this, but I really believe my life is going to vastly improve once this surgery is done, and even if I don't meet my goal, I appreciate every single one of you might donate a couple of bucks. <3
Thanks for your time, and have a lovely day, y'all! :)
(Plus, I get to use "that sure is a weight lifted off my chest!" for at least a month after surgery, and the pun alone is worth funding this.)
Have a picture of my cat, Cheddar, because everyone loves a cute cat picture. Cheddar says, "Please help Hollis out!"
