Hello everyone! My name is Lida/Rain (they/them). I am a nonbinary individual living in Texas, and I am excited to share that I am scheduled for top surgery for December 7th (yay)!

This is a life-changing gender-affirming procedure I have dreamed of since I was a teen but could never truly conceive of until now. Over the past few years, I have felt a greater sense of urgency to receive gender-affirming care as my dysphoria has gotten progressively worse on top of the physical stress from binding for over 10 years. This surgery will be a huge relief and milestone in helping me live more confidently and feel more in alignment with my body.

Your contributions will help cover the expected out-of-pocket costs ($4500) for my surgery and recovery, which are due two weeks before the operation. Every little bit of support you can contribute is greatly appreciated, whether you can donate, share, or send a word of encouragement!

Thank you so much for helping me on my journey and making this a reality!!!
