Hi, my name is Ki Jace.
I’m a transgender man, certified personal trainer, fitness model, and content creator based in Kentucky.
This year, I’m prioritizing top surgery — a step I’ve been working toward for a long time and one I know will change how I move through the world. I’ve attempted to get top surgery in Kentucky through insurance and have been denied three times. Because of that, I’ve decided to move forward out of state with Dr. Hope Sherie in Charlotte, North Carolina, a highly experienced surgeon whose work and results align with my goals for both health and quality of life.
I’ve received an official quote of $11,900 for my surgery, which includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility fees, and pre- and post-op care. This fundraiser will also help cover recovery time off work, post-op supplies, medications, and other healing-related expenses.
Fundraising goal: $15,000.
I am committed to this process — I am contributing my own savings and will continue fundraising through in-person events and merch sales through my fitness business. GoFundMe support will help me cover a significant portion of the cost so I can schedule surgery and focus on healing safely and fully.
Top surgery will allow me to show up more confidently in my body, my work, and my community. It’s not just about appearance — it’s about comfort, presence, and finally moving through life without constant physical and mental weight.
Any donation, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser also helps tremendously.
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and belief in me.
With gratitude,
Ki Jace
