TL;DR: I am raising money to help cover the costs associated with facial feminization surgery and time off work for recovery. Longer explanation below:

Hello, world, I’m your wild girl. Just kidding, I’m not wild — I am merely asking for help. I have recently received a date for Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). I was hoping to be able to get surgery by the end of 2023, to capitalize on having met my out of pocket maximum. However, the soonest I could get the surgery was January 19th, 2024. I will be undergoing the procedure at Cleveland Clinic. I will be receiving brow/forehead conturing and septo-rhinoplasty (for both aesthetics and functional, breathing reasons), with the option to undergo jaw surgery later, after dental work.

This surgery would be absolutely life-changing for me and will help to relieve so much dysphoria I experience. Not to mention being able to breathe for the first time ever. I am raising funds to help cover surgery costs as well as to help me support myself while I am off work recovering. I know times are tough for so many people, but any help financial help I receive could really make a world of difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this long winded post and thank you for your community and support.
