Hi, my name is Ivy. I’m a transgender woman, and I recently lost my job unexpectedly while also facing medical bills from my facial feminization surgery. This surgery was not just cosmetic—it was a medically necessary step for my safety, mental health, and ability to live authentically as myself. Unfortunately, my insurance refused to cover it, leaving me with overwhelming expenses at a very vulnerable time.

I’m actively searching for new work and I believe brighter days are ahead, but right now I need some help to bridge the gap. Your generosity will go directly toward paying down the cost of my surgery and supporting basic living expenses until I find employment again.

Every donation, no matter the size, is more than just financial support—it is an affirmation that living authentically is worth fighting for. Your kindness will help me move through this challenging moment with dignity and hope, and will empower me to rebuild with strength and gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me on this journey.
