sayfo’s top surgery fund!
Donation protected
It’s time to cheers, queers: Sayfo has gotten approved and scheduled for gender affirming top surgery!!! *begins violently doing the floss* After lots of waiting and planning, on November 17th they will finally get to take a major step towards living freely in their body. Although this is obviously extremely exciting news, it also comes with a substantial financial burden. Due to their epilepsy, an overnight hospital stay is required to monitor them immediately after surgery. This has increased their estimated costs dramatically. After insurance, the total out of pocket expense for the procedure is over $15k. This doesn’t even include lost wages for recovery time, living expenses, or aftercare supplies such as bandages, pillows, or medications. As you can imagine, this is a staggering debt for Sayfo to take on alone. So they are reaching out to their community to ask for your help.
Any of you who know Sayfo have experienced their humor, generosity, loyalty and huge heart. They are always ready with words of praise or affirmation to make you feel seen, a joke to bring a smile when things feel difficult, and they are an excellent listener whenever you need space held. Now we have an opportunity to show them how much they are valued. Anything you can contribute is deeply appreciated and will help relieve the stress and weight of this debt. It will also go directly towards providing them with the ability to feel free and genuine in their body, which is one of the more meaningful and profound gifts you could ever give someone. Whether it is $5 or $500, your donation means the world to them. If you cannot afford to donate, sharing the fundraiser is another great way to help! Please shout it from the rooftops!! You never know who might see it and contribute.
If you are close to Sayfo and have the capacity, please reach out and see if you can care for them in other ways while they recover, such as meal train contributions or helping run errands for them. Showing them love during this pivotal time means so much to them and will help them see how invested we all are in their physical and mental well-being.
