help a black trans person get top surgery

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Wesley and I am a 22 yr old trans individual and I am desperately in need of top surgery. I'm finally at the point where my chest dysphoria won't quit. I've been considering top surgery for the past 7 years, but never believed it was an option for me, due to my income and financial restraints. But at this point, I am sick of looking at my body and feeling like it does not belong to me. Hormones have helped me gain self-confidence and has help me feel more like myself, but unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to give me my ideal chest, the way top surgery can. I'm asking for $6300 to help cover some of the cost of surgery and recovery since I'll be out of work for about 2 months. I work a very physically demanding job which cause me to suffer grueling pain while wearing my binder for 8+ hours a day. I do have insurance thru my job but the insurance doesn't cover trans-related procedures. My procedure is currently scheduled for July 8th, 2021 with a surgeon in Texas. 

Everyday is struggle when all I want to do is exist. At this point in my life I feel it's absolutely necessary that I get surgery because I feel like my life is yet to begin. As I student, I basically work paycheck to paycheck.  I've never been someone who happily accepts help from others, nor to admit I need help - but I don't think I have another choice.  By no means do I expect to reach my goal, but any help towards it would be life changing for me.
