Hi, I’m Malcolm. I’m a US-based transgender college student trying to get top surgery. I like infectious disease, swords, and The Lord of the Rings.

And you can help me, for the low, low price of $10* or your immortal soul. I will say, money is generally better accepted by hospitals, but hey, if you want to give me your soul…

*Does not need to be $10. You can donate anything you'd like: $20 (or more), or $5, or $2, or something else. Under that gets real tricky with the GoFundMe transaction fees, but if you want to give me a penny as a joke? Then by all means, give me a penny as a joke. Anything helps.

Use of your generous funds:

(1 Jan 2026) VERY BELATED UPDATE. Surgery delayed for unknown amount of time due to insurance and other issues. Aiming for spring/summer 2026. Fundraiser still going :)

(8/27)

AS OF 27 AUGUST, my estimate for surgery is $11,641.29. My insurance and provider did indeed not renew their contract, so now I'm out of network. I am currently applying for continuity of care to remain in-network, but for the moment, my costs have ballooned. This fundraiser is still going in order to afford those costs. Thank you.

(7/28) SURGERY TO BE ON 7 OCTOBER 2025.

AS OF 28 JULY, my estimate for surgery is $3,333.31. My insurance and provider are potentially not renewing their contract come the end of August (I received a frightening email), so my price may change. This fundraiser is to hopefully cover all of top surgery, if things go well, and provide me a buffer to still help pay for it if things go poorly. The remaining $666.69 will be put towards any wound care expenses, paying for post-op appointments, and gas money for transport.

Can't donate? Please please please share! Spread the word as far as you can! All those joke pennies will add up. <3
