Hey my loves! My name is Alice.

I’m a trans woman living in Canada and I spend my days between work, activism, and acting.

My activism takes up most, if not all, of my free time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay. I take it to heart and I’ll never stop. But that does mean, in a world where trans people don’t get their needs met, I have to find a way to still fund my last surgery somehow.

I just found out my new insurance covers part of my gender affirming surgery, but only up to a certain extent. And to keep the estimated price and reserve a spot, I need to put in a deposit of 25% minimum.

The surgery is a BBL, and it costs between 18 000$ and 28 000$ (taxes included).

I’m still waiting to hear how much my insurance will be willing to cover. I’ve submitted the estimates and paperwork, but I’m waiting on their answer. The maximum covered would be 15 000$, but that’s IF they want to give that 15K and we all know how insurances tend to be about that.

So this means I have to find a way to raise (at best if they authorize the full 15K$) between 4.5K$ to 13K$.

I’ve hesitated asking for help because so many of my community is currently struggling given everything that’s going on against us. I generally don’t ask for any financial support online, but I figured maybe just this once.

If you can, and only if you can, I’d be so grateful for your help

Times are tough so if you can’t, may I ask that you share it with people you know and love?

Thank you so much for reading this and thank you for considering supporting my journey. I’m immensely grateful to all of you who have been supporting my activism and content this far. And I’m thankful for all of you who are helping here today.

Sending you all so much love

Your trans sister,
