Help me with my transgender surgeries
Donation protected
Hello friends-
Disclaimer:
I was very hesitant about making this gofundme, as there are a lot of causes right now in the world that are more worthy of your time and donations- above all else I want to you to know I'm aware of this.
My situation:
I'm getting a couple of transgender related surgeries done this year with the first coming later this month.
Between the help of some friends/family and my own savings I was able to save thousands of dollars for these surgeries.
Today I was informed that the hospital I'm having my surgery at isn't accepting my insurance and I'll owe almost $2k out of pocket the morning of surgery.
As someone who works paycheck-to-paycheck, this is a significant blow to me. I've been setting up this surgery for over a year now and have spent days at a time making calls to my insurance company to attempt to get as many services as I can covered. I've already spent all of my savings and gone several thousand into debt to even get this surgery booked.
The hospital denying my insurance with less than two weeks till surgery was not something I was expecting nor can afford.
The good news is I'll be at my yearly out-of-pocket maximum with my insurer after this, and the surgeries I plan to get later in the year are with in-network doctors and hospitals meaning after overcoming this, I will have no more expenses related to transgender surgeries.
About me:
My name is Garland Alyssa Moore. I'm a dj/music producer from Los Angeles that works a full time day job in addition to my music.
In recent years I've had the privilege of traveling to perform in various cities across the United States.
I began transitioning mtf in 2017 and have lived a much better life from it. Becoming the most honest version of myself has enabled me to be the best version of myself. In the last few years I've made a ton of friends who have helped and encouraged me through the transitioning process.
I believe this to be the final hurdle to overcome in my transition.
During this time I've been working on a debut album. I expect this album to release Summer 2020 and anyone who donates to my cause will receive a digital copy ahead of it's release.
