Support Sophia's Journey to Authenticity
Help Sophia Achieve Her Dream: Support Her Journey to Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)
Hello, my name is Sophia, and I’m a Black transgender woman reaching out to share a deeply personal and important goal with you. I am on a journey of becoming my true self, and one of the final steps in aligning my body with my identity is undergoing Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). This surgery would help me feel more at home in my body and present myself authentically to the world.
As a disabled woman, I face additional challenges every day, both physically and financially. I am only able to work part-time, which makes it incredibly difficult to save the money needed for such an expensive procedure. On top of the surgery costs, I also need to travel across the country to a specialized surgeon, adding travel and accommodation expenses to the already significant financial burden.
Below is a breakdown of what we estimate the costs to be for this procedure:
- Flights: $1550
- Hotel: $2670
- Uber/Lyft: $650
- Medical Supplies: $525
- Surgeon Copay: $1975
- Facility Copay: $1250
- Anesthesiology Copay: $250
- Total: $8870
This surgery is not just a medical procedure – it’s a vital step in my journey to live fully and authentically as myself. But I can’t do it alone. That’s why I’m humbly asking for your help.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Every dollar will go directly toward covering the cost of the surgery, travel, and accommodations. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a world of difference in helping me achieve my goal.
Share: If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story with your friends, family, and social media networks would mean so much. The more people who know about this campaign, the greater chance I have of reaching my goal.
This surgery is an essential step in my journey toward self-acceptance and being able to live in the world as the woman I am. It’s not just about how I look on the outside – it’s about being seen, validated, and finally feeling comfortable in my own skin. Your support would help me live with confidence and peace of mind, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for considering a donation or share. Your kindness and generosity mean everything to me.
With love and gratitude,
Sophia
