Dear friends, family, and community,

After nearly 4 years of trying to secure a top surgery date, I have finally been booked for October 24th- which is fast approaching!

While the top surgery itself is covered, I am in additional need of extra liposuction and skin removal in order to achieve the best results. The additional surgical procedure is estimated to cost around $3,500, and the recovery process requires me to be off work for up to 6 weeks- which results in an extensive loss of income for me.

If you are able, I would be greatly appreciative of any community support to help make my recovery as stress free as possible and to alleviate some financial burden.

I came out in 2016 as transmasc non-binary and it has been a long emotional journey to get to where I am today. This surgery is a crucial step in feeling as authentic to myself as possible, and will allow me to feel secure in my body after a lifetime of feeling not quite right.

While I understand the economy is in shambles-evidenced by the fact that I’m here asking for money today- mutual aid remains crucial to the survival of our queer community and any help at all will be forever cherished.
