Hello everyone, my name is Gentle and I am knight, a dreamy boy and a big nerd.

I am from a small town in Italy, where I was raised catholic and in a very traditional environment. It wasn't until I moved to London to study that I truly stepped into myself, shedding the layers of shame and trauma, and finally coming out as trans.

This is the best thing that ever happened to me, everything makes sense now.

As a transgender non-binary person, this surgery is a life-changing step toward living fully and authentically in my own body, my home. Going back to my childlike way of simply knowing and being. Top surgery will not only bring me comfort and relief, but also give me the freedom to move through the world with confidence, ease, and joy. It is a choice towards euphoric moments and a gentle life.

Because of my upbringing I am not lucky enough to have the support of my family and, unfortunately, the cost of surgery is beyond what I can afford on my own. I will undergo surgery in Sweden, where the costs are lower than the UK. However, between surgery fees, travel expenses, recovery costs, and lost income during healing, the total comes to about 8000£.

While I am doing everything I can to save and prepare, I can’t reach this goal without support. So I'm kindly asking for your support.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to this milestone. Even if you aren’t able to give financially, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me on this journey. Your kindness, love, and solidarity mean the world to me.

Grazie, grazie, grazie

Gentle
