Molly's Surgery Recovery Fund!

Hi all! My name is Molly Violet, and I'm a 29-year-old trans woman living in Western New York. I've created this fund because I am in a liminal period right now; I decided to leave my job as a public educator at the end of June. However, I am scheduled for gender-affirming surgery on August 13, which will leave me unable to work for 4 to 6 weeks.

At present, I am doing food delivery to save money while living off my remaining pay from teaching, but this awkward timing puts me in a position where I can't apply for anything more consistent until after the procedure. By the time I am in recovery, my remaining savings will be running quite thin, with no work guaranteed after I am fully recovered. As a result, I have decided to turn to the community for help.

My goal is to raise enough money to live off of for the 4-6 week recovery period from my surgery, but truly, anything helps! Finding employment as a trans person can be excruciatingly difficult, and having a safety net, no matter the size, will prove invaluable while I search for jobs post-surgery. Thank you for your time in reading this, and I hope you'll consider sharing this and/or throwing me a few bucks!

-Molly :)
