Support Lohi's Top Surgery Recovery

Hi! My name is Lohi, I’m a transgender masculine he/him guy five or maybe more years on testosterone if you don’t count when I couldn’t remember to put on the gel everyday for like six months right at the beginning.

I’m scheduled, finally, after years of waitlists and medical beurocracy, for top surgery coming up this March 10th, 2025. I’m asking for financial support from my community in order to have enough time and security to properly recover.

I’m very fortunate that I live in New York, where the procedure itself is covered by my public insurance (shouts amidacare), but as a service worker I’m likely going to have to take a full 6-8 weeks off of working in order to avoid any complications with the healing process. There are multiple post-operational appointments, and a few medications I will have to make sure I have covered, as well as any non-necessity items that will help during this time (chest compressors, specialty pillows, etc). This GoFundMe is to cover my medical and living expenses without an income for those weeks so I can focus on making a full recovery.

Of course there are many other things more important in the world to give your money to first, if you even have the opportunity to do so to begin with. Any interaction or sharing of this link is greatly appreciated. Thoughts and prayers that my nipples come out looking normal also needed <3

Thank you so much for any support I get!
