Puck’s Top Surgery Recovery Fund
Donation protected
Hello everyone! My name is Puck! I’m a queer Non-binary trans man. And Im finally getting Top Surgery! Yay!
I realized I was transgender at 18, but even before I had the words to describe how I was feeling. I was extremely uncomfortable with my chest, my voice, everything about myself. Living in a small conservative town didn't help either. I only shared I was trans to close individuals. My attempts to get on testosterone were futile and top surgery was completely out of the question. I was feeling hopeless, and I wanted to end my life.
That is Until I met my partner and everything became clearer for me. We moved to Washington together to have a fresh start and I was very quickly able to get on Testosterone! (I’ve been on it a year and a half!) And now through my job I have a steady insurance plan, so I was finally able to make top surgery possible! My surgery date is scheduled for August 29th 2024!
Now that the date is set theres lots of calculating to do financially. My insurance will cover 80% of the surgery cost, which is awesome! But that still leaves me out about 2 grand with my copay included. Not counting the money I’ll lose from being out of work for a month since FMLA will only cover a portion of my paycheck. Plus medication costs, bills, and recovery supplies! Any money donated will go straight to these costs.
While Ive already begun saving as much as possible I am extremely grateful for any and all donations given to me to make the surgery and recovery possible! This surgery not only will make me feel mentally comfortable in my body and improve my quality of life significantly overall. It will also help me physically stay safe from being clocked as trans while in public. Going to the bathroom, the gym, even just at work. Will be much safer if I have a masculine chest. Thank you for reading, and for the consideration/support!
Much love <3
