Hello beautiful humans!

I'm finally scheduled to have my long-awaited facial feminization surgery in April! I've been hoping and dreaming about this for a long, long time and I am so close to making it a reality.

My insurance is paying most of the surgery costs, but I just learned that my deductible and associated costs are several thousand dollars - which I don't have.

I'm currently selling everything I own to pay for the surgery.

I'm also trying to raise money to help me flee the country after my surgery.

Transgender folks are being persecuted here and it's getting more dangerous by the day. Iowa just removed all civil rights protections for trans folks, and Texas is trying to make being transgender a felony crime. 739 anti-transgender bills have been presented THIS YEAR alone in 49 states.

I do not like asking for help, but I'm desperate.

I have a beautiful, wonderful friend who is providing me sanctuary in another country, but I need to raise funds for the travel/moving costs and to survive until I can find work and start my new life.

I am enormously grateful for any and all help.

With gratitude and love,

J
