Help Toby get Top Surgery

Hi, my name is Toby, and I'd like to get something off my chest.

I'm a full-time student trying to raise money for my top surgery, something I've been dreaming about for the past 7 years. My insurance won't be paying a penny of the fees related to my Top Surgery meaning that everything will be out of pocket. The consultation alone is $100 with the pre-consultation quote being between $3000 and $9000. I'm hoping that the surgery will be lower than $5000 so that I may use the excess money for hormone payments and my physical therapy. Please help me transition and finally feel complete and happy in my own body. Even a single dollar will help, please.

Since puberty, I always felt that something was.. off with myself and the way my body was going.

I remember a distinct moment in my life and my relationship with my body when I was 13. I was staring in the mirror looking at myself with a bathing suit on, I couldn't remember the last time I had worn one and all I could think was "This isn't right, I shouldn't look like this. My chest is too big. No, that's not right? I'm not supposed to think that it has to be something else. My body is too small, no one should be this thin. It's disgusting. That has to be it, right? I'm too thin, I don't eat enough, that's why my chest looks too big, that's why it looks like it shouldn't be on my body."

The visual of my chest on my body not feeling right like I'm not supposed to look the way I do and not having the correct words to describe or even explain what I was feeling or thinking. Ever since learning that it was possible to get top surgery that's all I've dreamed of. The one thing all these years I've thought of that would make me happy and feel complete and like myself.

I am a year on testosterone and already feel more love for myself than I have in the past 10. Getting top surgery will quite literally be saving my life and changing it for the better. I will finally be able to go to the pool or beach with my family, I will finally be able to work outside or on projects without having to wear a large jacket over my already baggy t-shirt, and I won't have the constant urge or itching thought to hunch over and hide my body, or worst hurt it. Any amount will help even a single dollar, or if you can't donate please spread the word and share this GoFundme and thank you for your time and for reading this far. Truly thank you.
