“The way to make sense of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance” - Alan Watts

Hello friends! My name is Kit

Or Nico if I’m feelin' creative, :)

I’m a trans-masculine dreamer on my last stretch of completing my Top Surgery journey, but I might need a little help!

I’ve been waiting and saving for years and it’s finally happening in about 3 months! Unfortunately, the insurance I’ve been covered by through my parents does not cover any gender-affirming care, so I’ve been readying myself to pay in full, but I’m worried I might come up a little short by the surgery date! (September 2nd)

I’m working my hardest, and I’d appreciate any help that is willing to come my way <3

As long as I remember, I’ve felt different. Growing up neurodivergent was confusing and going through puberty made it all the more clear something wasn’t right. I know I once felt free in my body, but developed a dysphoria that completely robbed me of a normal transition into adulthood. Since then, I’ve been discovering all the scattered pieces of my soul again. I’ve lost myself, found myself, lost myself again, and found I’ll never be fully baked, and I truly don’t care how society sees me anymore. I know who I am becoming! But the pain of feeling wrong in my body remains even after nearly a decade. And it will dramatically shift my life in a positive direction to finally be free of it :) and I’m thankful for all of the support and love I receive every day for it.

It was hard being able to feel I deserve it, that I’m allowed it, but I’m finally letting it lift me up without feeling I have to be alone. It’s okay to ask for help

Being located in Utah, it’s already hard recovering gender-affirming care even without all of the horrors of the Trump administration weighing in more and more.

The hate spreading through the country is felt, but the support is felt even stronger

and I’m so happy to see everyone in this very red state stand up all the more boldly in the face of adversity.

I’m proud of us, let’s keep being ourselves!

As for me, I just need the last stretch of money that will pay for my anesthesia and other extra medical expenses.

I’m hoping to raise at least $2,000 so I can pay in full, and a little more would help me through the time off work I will need for recovery. Any more than that I will donate to my transgender siblings out there who are also struggling.

We are stronger together!

It took a while to gain the confidence to put this out there, but it doesn’t hurt to try!

So thank you thank you thank you, fam :)

And I hope to keep empowering and uplifting others as they have me in these dark and cloudy times. The sun will shine!

Sending love and light,
