Help Yeet Dee's Teets!

Exciting news! Not only is Dee officially scheduled for top surgery, but their surgeon's wait time was way shorter than we anticipated - which means we now have about a month to get them ready for surgery and recovery - AHH!

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting my boyfriend Dee (or Ashe) in person, you may know them online for their work as a trans-masc model and performer or their portrait photography celebrating LGBTQ+ joy, love, and sexuality. They are queer, black, indigenous, polyamorous, and a lover of potatoes everywhere. They are also one of the kindest, most thoughtful and creative humans I've ever known. Anyone who knows them knows they can count on them for support, and now it's our turn to show up for them.

Dee came out as non-binary about 3 years ago, and since then has been on a journey of discovering what aspects of gender expression bring them euphoria and peace. Now after 3+ years of chest-binding, over a year of testosterone injections, a legal name change, and jumping through all the ridiculous hoops of the U.S medical system, Dee is finally scheduled for top surgery on January 5th, 2023!

Funds donated to this campaign will go towards the portion of the surgery costs not covered by health insurance, additional hospital fees, post-surgery doctor visits, and medical supplies, as well as assisting with food and rent while Dee takes a month off work to recover from this major surgery.

If you have the means, we would be incredibly grateful for donations of any amount! And if a monetary donation isn't in the cards for you right now, it would be just as meaningful if you shared this campaign with others.
