Help Charles Get Top Surgery

Hi! My name is Charles. I'm a trans masc person and I am finallyyyy getting top surgery - a thing I have been talking about since I was 14 - this August! This surgery is going to very literally save my life, and I can't express how relieved I am that it's finally almost here.

I'm currently in grad school for social work and public health, with the goal of becoming a licensed clinical social worker so that I can offer counseling to other trans folks, primarily teens. Because of being in school, my finances are really tight. I'm unable to work very much between school and disabilities, and I'll be working even less starting in the fall as I'll be starting my social work internship.

So, I'm seeking support to help me cover the costs associated with my top surgery. I won't be able to work my job at the coffee shop for a month, so need help covering food and rent; my surgery is a 5 hour drive away so I have to stay at an airbnb for a few days and cover gas costs as well; then there's the actual cost of the surgery (which is currently an estimate). I've outlined what I roughly expect all of these things to cost below, and added it up to be about $2,500. I genuinely just don't have that money, so literally anything you're able to contribute will help me so, so much.

If you're not able to donate, please share this! That is just as big of a help. I appreciate anyone who has read this, chooses to donate, or shares this fundraiser with others. You're all contributing to trans joy and liberation! <333

Much love,

Charles (he/they)
