Hi, my name is Jalal

As a young Afghan/LGBT member of society, I’ve faced many struggles in life from feeling unsafe in my own community to battling with confidence in myself every single day. One of the biggest sources of insecurity for me has always been my nose. It’s big and crooked, and for as long as I can remember, it has made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin.

Living with constant stares and judgment, both for who I am and for how I look, has been exhausting. I want to finally take a step toward self-love and confidence by getting rhinoplasty (a nose job). For me, this isn’t just about looks, it’s about being able to see myself in the mirror and finally feel comfortable, proud, and free.

Unfortunately, the surgery is expensive, and as someone from a vulnerable background, I can’t afford it on my own. That’s why I’m reaching out for help. Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring me closer to feeling at peace with myself.

If you can’t donate, even sharing this with others would mean the world to me. Thank you for supporting not just my surgery, but my journey toward confidence, healing, and living authentically as myself.
