My name is August. I am non-binary and have been living with gender dysphoria for over 11 years. This has made it difficult for me to feel comfortable in my own body, and it has affected my mental health in many ways, including anxiety and suicidal ideations. My insurance does not cover the gender affirming care I need, specifically top surgery, which is why I am reaching out for help.

This surgery is a crucial step for me in alleviating the symptoms of dysphoria and improving my overall well-being. The funds raised will go toward medical costs, travel, recovery, after care, and follow up appointments. Having access to this care will help me heal both physically and emotionally, and allow me to move forward with hope and confidence.

I am asking for your support to help me access the care I need. Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference in my journey toward feeling comfortable in my body and improving my mental health. Thank you for your kindness and support.
