Ollie's Top Surgery Fund

Hi everyone! My name is Ollie. I'm a queer nonbinary artist from Michigan, and I'm fundraising in support of my upcoming top surgery.

My biggest source of dysphoria is, and always has been, my chest. After a long process, I am pleased to report that I will be getting chest masculinizing top surgery with Dr. Edwin Wilkins at University of Michigan. This will help alleviate the debilitating gender dysphoria I experience on a daily basis. The surgery is major and has a long recovery period, which will require some time off of work - which brings me to the support I need.

Your support:

All donations made will go directly toward helping me with paying for the procedure itself, as well as helping me pay for necessary medical expenses, pharmacy costs, gas, and recovery. If you'd prefer a different way to donate, you can purchase a product from my shop or commission me at www.tranquilfrog.com . Alternatively, send me something from my Amazon wishlist at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3MBV1EQC49QAT?ref_=wl_share .

My date is officially scheduled on 7/22/22. My 22nd birthday will fall about a week post-op, and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate in my new body. Between now and then, I hope to hit this goal! Thank you for your help and support <3 Please remember to share, too!

A note on stolen land:

My procedure and recovery will take place on the stolen land of the Anishnaabeg indigenous peoples, including the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Potawatomi. Tribes local to my area include the Gaaching Ziibi Daawaa Anishinaabe (Little River Band of Ottawa Indians) and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe . Please take this as a reminder to continually educate yourself on the stolen land you occupy.

A note on community fundraising and mutual aid:

The majority of search results for "top surgery" on GoFundMe are that of white trans individuals like myself. I encourage GoFundMe, as well as my fellow white queer/trans individuals, to use their platform to boost QTBIPoC funds. Let us do continuous work to be actively anti-racist, and be white accomplices, including in queer circles. Please be sure to use GoFundMe and social media to look into other individuals who need support as well.
