Hi! My name is Opal and I am a 23-year-old, trans woman, fashion/costume design student trying to prepare for a very eventful and financially burdensome 2026 with both my graduation/1st brand collection launching (wooo!!! the ZZ Haute Bizaarr is my baby, stay tuneddd☺️) and also a very important personal gender-affirming surgery that is scheduled for later on in that year, which brings its own costs:p

With all of that said, here is a categorized list of what this donated money is going to. Every dollar will help me on this creative and transformative year I have set forth for myself, and I know I'll be unstoppable with some support from the amazing community around me, whether maintained through social media or tangible interactions <3 Thank you for taking the time to read this<3

Surgery Costs:

d they recommend around 10.

So…

-$1000 electrolysis

I will be getting Facial Feminization surgery later on this year after my collection debuts

I would love to take around a month LOA but 2 would be game changer:)With rent and utilities, having an extra $1500-$2000 to afford food/utilities/rent/+ random health/hygiene necessities needed for surgery recovery ❤️‍

This is truly the most important part of this GoFundMe. These surgeries will not only help me mentally live a happier life but help the outside me match the me I see and know to be my truest self.

Lastly, but also still very important, this GoFundMe is to help me financially crowdfund for my graduation collection! I have been attending the Made Institute Fashion Design program for over a year now honing my skills and developing my vision and brand identity. Everything else donated here will go to all things brand development, collection materials, website trademarking, securing a domain, creating content for brand visuals, did I mention collection materials??????????????????

2026 will be one of the hardest undertakings I will have ever faced, and having this financial support will help this really fun and cool talented Black Transwoman graduate from fashion school in style and then reward herself by becoming her truest form! You see the vision don't you!!!!!

Thank you again for reading this far:)

XOXOX
