Support Clay's Recovery after Top-Surgery

Donation protected
Hello! Thank you for clicking this link - with everything going on in the world I know there are a lot of things you can do with your money so thank you for considering helping me!

I am raising funds to cover my cost of living post top-surgery this coming October. My surgery date was suddenly moved up which is incredibly exciting but means that I have much less time to save the money I will need to live during recovery! I am so very excited and incredibly blessed to have this elective and gender-affirming surgery but it is a substantial financial burden to take on during this time. I work two physically demanding day jobs and need to take at least 4-6 weeks off of work post-surgery in order to fully heal. I have lived on my own since I was 18 and always worked hard to provide for myself - I am extremely grateful to have means of income and a wonderful support system and family, but all that together is not enough to reach my financial goal. I am blessed to be able to ask for help from the friends and queer family in my life in this situation. Three weeks out from surgery my venmo account was suddenly hacked and I lost $1000 I had saved toward recovery. I have adjusted my goal accordingly and will be working as hard as possible up to my date to save as much as I can on my own, but any share of the link or small donation helps more than you know! I am so ready to be unencumbered by my body and feel truly free - I just need your help to pay the bills in order to get there! I am ecstatic to return to my community post-surgery fully healed and ready to return this love and support tenfold! Thank you and bless you! Love, Clay <3
