Hi! My name is Shepherd and I am a 21 year old transgender man from Missouri. A little over a year ago, I began my medical transition. Now that a year has gone by, I am finding it increasingly more important to prioritize top surgery.

Unfortunately, I do not have any familial support. Therefore I am relying on my own income, health insurance, and fundraising for a double mastectomy.

My chest is the largest source of discomfort as a trans man. I can’t leave the house without binding, which is causing issues with breathing and scarring. Please help me get rid of these bazongas!

In addition to paying for my top surgery, I will be allocating 25% of the funds raised to The Center Project located in Columbia, MO. This resource center is dedicated to providing resources to trans youth and adults in Mid-Missouri. I am in no way affiliated with this organization, but they provide name change assistance, clothing, and social events for trans people in the area.

Thanks for considering my GoFundMe!
