Hello! My name is Juno Dumlao, and I am a 15-year-old transgender boy. From a young age, I have always struggled with my sexual identity as I was also raised in a religious household. Recently, I have come out and put all my passion into my transition. However, due to the laws in Arizona, I cannot get a job and need help trying to raise the money for my top surgery as I know school will be a contributing factor to any other expenses I will receive in the future. In the state of California, where I am most likely going to have this procedure, there is a high chance that this surgery will have hidden costs as the average for top surgery in California ranges from $10,000-$15,000.

So far, I have started a cookie and art commission business to raise $8,000-$15,000 for my top surgery. Every day after school, I spend my time making cookie batches or completing art commissions. I turned my Instagram account into a business social to draw in more customers, and recently I have also made a TikTok to spread awareness. My transition is something I am so passionate about, and I am proud to be a transgender male. Any support in this journey is highly appreciated. I hope you all experience a blessed day.
