Hi everyone, I’m raising money so that I can finally receive gender-affirming top surgery. This is something I’ve been waiting nearly 8 years for. I made my surgery deposit already ($850 down!), and the date is finally set for July 21, 2026! I planned it this far out so I can work as much as possible before taking time off and still keep up with my full-time college schedule. I’ve wanted this for so long, and it’s wild to think it’s finally within reach.

The total cost I need to cover is about $8,000 due in the next 7 months. This includes surgery fees, travel, post-op supplies, and help with recovery since I’ll need to take time off work. With going back to school for the majority of the next year, it will be difficult to get the rest on my own.

Getting this surgery isn’t just about aesthetics for me. It’s about safety, comfort, and being able to fully show up in my body and in my life. Living as a trans person in Florida isn’t easy, and this step is one I believe will help me move through the world more confidently and safely.

Any amount you’re able to give genuinely helps me take this next step. Every dollar brings me closer to finally feeling more at home in my body. And if you’re not in a place to give right now, sharing this with others is also a huge help. I’m incredibly grateful to have people who care enough to read this, support me, and stick around through this chapter.

To anyone who’s stood beside me in any chapter, in any form, thank you for helping me carry this weight until I can finally take it off, literally. Your support means more than I can ever put into words.
