<div>Hi, I’m Veronica!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a trans woman living in Oklahoma, and I’m asking for support as I take a vital step in my journey: gender-affirming bottom surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve lived with gender dysphoria my whole life, and every step I’ve taken so far to alleviate it has helped tremendously. This is a necessary and life-changing procedure, but the road to getting there has had some unexpected detours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Journey So Far</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With help from my wife and friends, I finally cracked my egg and realized I’m a woman in 2024. I began my transition that July and every day since then I’ve been able to feel more and more at home in my body. Life since then has been a whirlwind of joy and unexpected troubles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Less than a year after beginning transition, I was laid off from my career as a web developer. I navigated eight months of unemployment, trying to find something in an incredibly tough job market. I’ve since landed on my feet working as a server in a local restaurant, and while I’m grateful for the work, the transition from a desk job to a highly physical environment has changed the math for my surgery and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My wife Caitlyn, our cat Greg, and I live frugally to make ends meet, but we don’t have any cushion to handle a major medical event and the significant time off it requires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Raising $15,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve broken down the goal based on the actual costs of the procedure and the reality of my recovery:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>$5,000: To cover my out-of-pocket insurance maximum for the surgery itself. When this goal is hit, I will schedule my surgery!
</li>
<li>$10,000: To cover 12 weeks of lost income. Because my job as a server is physically demanding, I have to be fully healed before I can return to the floor. This amount ensures our rent, bills, and Greg’s food stay covered while I focus on healing.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution gets me closer to a life where I can finally feel at peace in my own body. If you aren't able to donate, sharing this link around your network is just as helpful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for your kindness, and for helping me become whole.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude, Veronica (and Caitlyn &amp; Greg)
