My name is Samantha. I am a 49-year-old transgender woman, and I have been going through my transition for over 2 years. For a long time before I started, I was struggling with who I was. I finally discovered who I really am and have been happy ever since. My mental health has improved since my transition. I have made a lot of adjustments and lifestyle changes. My family has been very supportive, and I also have a great group of supportive friends. Yes, I know not everyone agrees with what I am doing, and I have lost dear friends in the process. I just wish everyone could respect me using my freedom of expression. There are so many haters out there.

My journey is still long, but what I would like to start is the next chapter in becoming who I am. The money raised will be for medical procedures that will help in me getting more in line with my true identity. I am hoping to raise the money to accomplish that.



UPDATE: Off to a good start. I have already talked to a surgeon for my Top Surgery. If I can raise a good portion of the funds needed, I can get scheduled. Thank You for those who have helped and those future ones.
