IT'S TIME! I have FINALLY decided to take the next step in my gender affirming care and get my tits out of here! Wahoooo!

In order to accomplish this, I am reaching out to you all, my community, to look into their hearts (and pockets) and help me actualize my dream!

I have been thinking about top surgery for the past 3 years and am finally ready to pull the trigger! In case you're interested, I am going to Dr. Lukavsky who is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who has been performing Top Surgery for over twelve years.

However, it is a hefty price tag that I simply can’t do on my own. I am uninsured and am paying for all costs out of pocket and really need support to help achieve my goals. So I am beginning to fundraise!

My goals:

Security deposit - $1,000 to schedule surgery. (Money will go towards my final surgery cost.)

Surgery cost - $10,000-$12,000. Cost of procedure.

Cushion - $2000 to go towards follow-up appointments, doctor visits, supplies needed when in recovery, rent while I can’t work.

Total Number - $12,000-$14,0000

That is a lot of money and I understand times are reeeeaaallly hard. Money simply doesn’t go as far as it should and there’s a lot weighing on our hearts. But any little bit helps!

Don’t have funds? Help me spread the word! PLEEEAAASEE! As you aaaaallllll know, I don’t have socials. Unfortunately, this is where it comes to bite me. It would mean the world if you could help spread the word on social media or share to any friends or family that are looking to support a member of the queer community!

If you are so moved and capable of financially contributing to this momentous event, I would also accept Venmo. Venmo means no processing fees on either end! But I will happily accept whichever method is most convenient for you!

Lots of Love,

Dakota
