Kristal's GRS Surgery Fund

Hi, My Name is Kristal. I am raising money for a GRS (Genital Reassignment Surgery)

I am a Trans gal. However, I like to think of myself as a woman. I am raising money because I could use the help. I fell on some hard times and decided to reach out and try to raise funds myself. So here is the long story. In a nutshell, I started off In a decent job, had Health Insurance, and started on my road to transition. I went and did all the right things. I went and saw a therapist, got on Feminizing Hormones and even changed my legal name and Marker to match the person I truly am. All went well until life happened. My work essentially was present while I openly (Socially and legally) Transitioned, the process was a little more public than I wanted it to be, but I kept plugging along. Over time I noticed the tasks I was assigned were bottom-of-the-barrel work, or I would do most of the work while co-workers did not. In the end, it was unsaid, but I got pushed out and was forced to quit. About the same time, my home life took a nasty turn. I became unsafe living there for my life being threatened. All of this happened in 6 months, and I had no real friends or family to turn to as most people sadly rejected what I was doing. So I moved across the US to start over. I had a 401K with closer to 10K in it. Most of it got used to moving and getting me by while finding work. In the end, I found some good things. I am now in an Open Relationship with my partners and am happier. I'm no longer in an unsafe environment and can be allowed to be me without fear of death. Even with a job, I no longer have health insurance. My 401K is now around 2K; sadly, I am barely making it. Due to having a job, I do not qualify for Government Insurance (Medicaid). My Company Will not offer Insurance for a minimum of a year after starting (and that's with 32+ hours), which I may not get with bills I can't afford from the marketplace. Having crippling dysphoria, to the point some days I cry sobbing and suffer horrible depression. I still try to keep going, but It's hard, and at this point, I'm desperate for a change and this procedure, not because of physical genitals alone but because if It can lessen the pain, I face every day and make this more bearable, then it's worth it. Most people do not understand. For us, it may look like an outward, vain, or even deviant. But for me, it's a chance at having a body we were robbed of. A chance to be viewed as we are, not only by the world but ourselves. My only ask is to consider the pain all of us go through and if you can help. Then I am forever grateful. All I want is a chance to move forward in my life and the happiness others have without second thoughts. Thank you for Listening to my story
