Support Shruti's Top Surgery Recovery

Hello, I'm Shruti! I'll be getting top surgery at the end of November.

Top surgery used to feel so unattainable that I wouldn't even let myself think about it—for years I tried to ignore it and assumed it was a far away goal. The fact that I actually have a surgery date now would be a happy surprise to my past self.

If you know me, you know my big naturals and also how much I hate running. Interestingly, over the last few years I've had dreams about running for hours along the highway. I'm usually running to get to someone, and I feel comfortable as I hit my stride.

It’ll be a dream come true to move unencumbered, to smile when I put on a shirt in the morning, and to feel like myself. I won't be running on the highway, but I'm looking forward to running as fast as I can, like a kid who looks like he's on the verge of falling over himself.

All funds donated will go directly to funding my living expenses while I’m unable to work. I appreciate you choosing to support my healing and my recovery. I also know that there are many other people in many other places who also need your support. I encourage you to donate to others as well, especially people in P****tine. There's also other ways to support beyond donating like: including inviting others in your network to donate, keeping me company as I recover, or dropping off cooked meals or groceries. Please reach out to me if you're interested.

Thank you so much for reading all this and for anything you donate to me or others. I am grateful for the trans people who have come before me, and others who have made me and my life possible. This is a big step for me, and one of many with all that running.
