<div>I’m not really sure how people write these, I want to be as genuine as I can be. I’ll start with my introduction. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name’s Nicholas. I’m 24, my ethnicity is filipino/native american (tohono o’odham specifically) and I am a trans man. 
</div>

</div><img class="m-text-editor-image" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80181181_1716934334699901_r." width="100%" />

</div>
<div>This is… a fundraiser for my top surgery. Also known as a double masectomy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The base price for the procedure is $15,000
</div>
<div>As I don’t have any insurance, it’d all have to be paid off. Unfortunately… I don’t have that kind of money. Any extra funds will be used for aftercare supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a full time artist and I care for my 6 year old nephew when he comes around every week. (That itself is basically like a part-time job except I’m not being paid)
</div>
<div>Because of that, I’ve grown severely burnt out in the past 2-3 years. Working and babysitting constantly while getting nowhere with my savings has been very, very draining and very very frustrating. I’m basically making less than minimum wage and the cost of living is…. too much. Seeing how things are going financially in my life… top surgery is just not in the books, at least not realistically within the next 5 years. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> This procedure is on top of my priority list because I am physically feeling the pressure of wearing a chest binder anytime I leave the house. It squeezes me so much so often that my ribs are literally closing in. Imagine a rubber band on an apple. Now put 5 on it every day. Eventually the pressure will become too much and snap the apple. That’s how my ribs and back feel lately. I feel like my bones might snap (I have no idea if that will happen but let’s try not to get to that point LOL)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Getting top surgery means I could comfortably and confidently trek through this already challenging life. It means I could stop binding and damaging my ribs and back. I could finally feel comfortable in my own body. That’s what I need. It’s what will help me in my pursuit of happiness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s actually just that simple, I want to be happy. It’s not just a cosmetic thing. It really isnt. It’s a life changing procedure that I need to live a long happy life. It’s all I want. 
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, and thank you for supporting if you do! 
</div>
