<div>Hey y’all! AJ here! My sweet friend Brigitte is preparing for her long-awaited body feminization surgery and needs your support! <strong>Based in Tijuana, Mexico, Brigitte Baltazar Lujano is a badass trans woman migrant who fights for LGBTQI+ and migrant rights at the Mexico-US border on national and transnational levels.</strong> Brigitte works tirelessly to support thousands of community members who face racist, transphobic, and homophobic individual and state violence daily. She currently volunteers as a Program Coordinator for La Casita de Union Trans and works as the LGBTQI+ Program Coordinator of the binational organization Al Otro Lado (AOL). Brigitte pours so much of her heart and energy into her LGBTQI+ and migrant communities by leading initiatives such as:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Accompanying migrants who have been victims of violent crime and discrimination to access protection and healthcare
</li>
<li>Advocating with Mexican state officials to improve access to HIV medication and other medical support for LGBTQI+ asylum seekers that live with HIV and co-organizing a round table with other organizations to help address this issue
</li>
<li>Accompanying LGBTQI+ siblings to medical appointments with transphobic providers
</li>
<li>Welcoming fellow deportees at AOL’s Deportee Welcome Center
</li>
<li>Supporting trans youth with their travels to Guadalajara to complete their name and gender marker change documents
</li>
<li>Facilitating trans empowerment spaces
</li>
<li>Advocating for dignified funerals for trans women who have been murdered, including helping find economic solutions for low income families that cannot afford the funeral arrangements
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brigitte does all this and so much more - and in Mexico! - a country that is reported as the world’s 2nd most dangerous country for trans women. <strong>It's now Brigitte's time to receive the love and support she gives to community! This gender affirming surgery is such an important step in her gender affirmation journey to feel more at ease in her own body and walking down the street as she continues fighting for LGBTQI+ and migrant justice.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are raising $16,500 for her surgery!</strong> Here is the cost breakdown:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Consult: $50
</li>
<li>Surgery: $15,000
</li>
<li>Travel to CDMX and back to Tijuana: $1,000
</li>
<li>Food for 1 Month: $250
</li>
<li>Medical Supplies: $200
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And yes, although her surgery will be in Mexico, it will still be expensive AF! </strong>There’s no insurance in Mexico that covers gender affirming surgeries, so everything will be out of pocket. Please support by donating and/or sharing her fundraiser! &lt;3 Thank youuu!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you’re able, we highly encourage folks to donate via other platforms that don’t take a fee! </strong>Below are the other platforms you may donate at. For transparency, we will post updates about how much we are raising via other platforms! Also, due to international restrictions, I will be collecting all donations and withdrawing cash to transfer funds to Brigitte. <strong>Please write "Brigitte" in the note.</strong>

<div>Hola a todes! Soy AJ! Mi querida amiga Brigitte se está preparando para su tan esperada cirugía de feminización corporal y necesita su apoyo. <strong>Viviendo en Tijuana, México, Brigitte Baltazar Lujano es una chingona mujer trans migrante que lucha por los derechos LGBTQI+ y de los migrantes en la frontera México-EEUU, a niveles nacional y transnacional.</strong> Brigitte trabaja incansablemente para apoyar a miles de miembros de la comunidad que sufren violencia racista, transfobica y homofóbica por individuos y el estado a diario. Actualmente es voluntaria como Coordinadora de Programas para La Casita de Unión Trans y trabaja como Coordinadora del Programa LGBTQI+ de la organización binacional Al Otro Lado (AOL). Brigitte dedica gran parte de su corazón y energía a sus comunidades LGBTQI+ y migrantes, liderando iniciativas como:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Acompañamiento a migrantes víctimas de delitos violentos y discriminación para que accedan a protección y atención médica
</li>
<li>Abogar ante oficiales estatales mexicanos para mejorar el acceso a medicamentos para VIH y otros tipos de apoyo médico para solicitantes de asilo LGBTQI+ que viven con VIH y coorganizar una mesa redonda con otras organizaciones para abordar este problema
</li>
<li>Acompañar a hermanes LGBTQI+ a citas médicas con profesionales transfobicos
</li>
<li>Recibir a compañeres deportades en el Centro de Bienvenida para Deportades de AOL
</li>
<li>Apoyar a jóvenes trans en sus viajes a Guadalajara para completar sus documentos de cambio de nombre y marcador de género
</li>
<li>Facilitar espacios de empoderamiento trans
</li>
<li>Abogar por funerales dignos para mujeres trans asesinadas, incluyendo la ayuda para encontrar soluciones económicas para familias de bajos recursos que no pueden pagar los gastos funerarios
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brigitte hace todo esto y mucho más - y en México! - un país reportado el segundo más peligroso del mundo para las mujeres trans. <strong>Ahora es el momento de que Brigitte reciba el amor y el apoyo que brinda a la comunidad! Esta cirugía de afirmación de género es un paso fundamental en su camino hacia la afirmación de género para sentirse más cómoda con su propio cuerpo y caminar por la calle mientras continúa luchando por la justicia LGBTQI+ y para los migrantes.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Estamos recaudando $16,500 para su cirugía!</strong> Aquí están los gastos:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Consulta: $50
</li>
<li>Cirugía: $15,000
</li>
<li>Viaje a la CDMX y regreso a Tijuana: $1,000
</li>
<li>Comida para un mes: $250
</li>
<li>Suministros médicos: $200
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Y sí, aunque su cirugía será en México, seguirá siendo carísima!</strong> En México no existe seguro que cubra cirugías de afirmación de género, entonces pagará todo. Por favor, apóyenla a través de donar y/o compartir su recaudación de fondos! &lt;3 Graciaaas!!!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Si pueden, les pedimos que donen a través de otras plataformas que no cobran una tarifa!</strong> A continuación, están otras plataformas en las que puedes donar. Para mayor transparencia, publicaremos actualizaciones sobre cuánto estamos recaudando a través de otras plataformas. Además, debido a las restricciones internacionales, recogeré todas las donaciones y retiraré el efectivo para transferir los fondos a Brigitte. <strong>Por favor, escriba "Brigitte" en la nota.</strong>
