Putting myself out here is one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever done in my life, But I’m doing it because this moment in my life is too important to face alone.

Hola, mi nombre es Angelica. I’m currently preparing for a major and deeply meaningful surgery that will finally allow my body and my soul to align.

This is not something I take lightly. It’s a step I’ve been moving toward for years—spiritually, emotionally. And while the reasons behind it are personal, what I can share is this:

I’m doing this to finally live in peace inside my own skin. And sharing with you today comes from a place of vulnerability and courage.

Because of the surgery and recovery period, I won’t be able to work for a while. I’ve waited for three years for my permanent residency, so I would have tried to take a loan, a line of credit, or anything else—but right now, none of those options are available to me. So I am here, asking for help from my community, my friends, and anyone who believes in supporting people during the most transformative chapters of their lives.

This isn’t just a medical moment. It’s a rebirth that takes a lot of recovery.

Over the past years, I’ve learned a lot about myself: how attachment works, how trauma can influence who we choose in relationships, and how hard it can be to stay grounded when your body doesn’t fully reflect who you are. But through all the emotional work, through therapy, through growing out of old patterns, I’m finally stepping into the version of myself that I’ve been building from the inside for a long time. Not perfect, but working steady and consciously.

Your support would help me cover:

• Time off work during recovery

• Basic living expenses

• Medical needs connected to the healing process

It really is just me trying to get safely through this period so I can move forward with strength, clarity, and a healthy body.

If you choose to support me—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this link—I want you to know something:

You’re helping someone rebuild her life.

You’re helping me stand fully as myself.

And I will never forget that.

Thank you for being here with me in this vulnerable moment.

Gracias por verme.

With love,

Angelica
