I'm a disabled, Autistic + ADHD, Queer & Nonbinary Trans East Asian person asking for much needed community care and support.

With access to PA Medicaid, I've finally have the strength and courage to pursue my first gender-affirming surgery. I'll be getting a laparoscopic hysterectomy to remove my cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes on February 5th, 2025.

Since I was 11-years-old, I have experienced debilitating menstrual pain, abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding, severe hormonal fluctuations, and gender/body dysphoria. It wasn't until I was 19 when I realized my body dysphoria was directly linked to my menstrual cycle. I've experienced horrific uterus pain for over a week (7 - 10 days) every single month since I was 11. It has always been incredibly tolling to my mental and physical health.

While this is an incredibly exciting opportunity, I am also terrified navigating the next steps. Luckily, my surgery will be covered with PA Medicaid. I am still seeking out financial support to access much needed care to recover safely. I am a low-income & disabled part-time contractor worker so I do not qualify for FMLA. I am planning to not work for approximately 4 - 6 weeks. Since I'm disabled and have been on HRT/Testosterone for 2.5 years, my surgeon has informed me that my recovery will be more difficult.

I'm seeking $2,500 to cover all my expenses and care needs for surgery. All of the donations from this fundraiser will cover:

I'm rounding up to $2,500 to cover any potential emergencies, complications, rides, and needed supplies. At any given time, if anyone desires to see receipts of any of my purchases from these donations, please contact me directly.

As of now, I do not have a close-knit support group for post-op care. I am planning to care for myself mostly alone with minimal support in the best ways I can. I am an Autistic + ADHD, Queer and Trans person with CPTSD, severe depression, and other mental health illnesses. I also struggle with ongoing chronic pain from fibromyalgia and mild dysautonomia. I work closely with my psychiatrist, doctor, and therapist somewhat regularly to care for my mental + physical health. This past year has been incredibly traumatizing for me. It has always been difficult for me to trust & allow people to care for me. I'm practicing to ask for help with this fundraiser. I feel deeply uncomfortable, anxious, and scared. I hope you can support me by sending any donations or share my fundraiser.

If anyone based in Philly feels able to and inclined to offer in-person care, please contact me directly. I am seeking: Food support, Home Care/Chores support, and Emotional/Social support (virtual or in-person)

People are also welcome to send funds directly to these handles. I just ask you to add in the caption any emoji icon or "gift for beau"
