<div><em>ABOUT:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our dear Jien's visa is ending, and unless they find another visa, they are not able to remain in the UK and have to resort to returning back to Malaysia, where they face transphobic harassment regularly. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Malaysia is the <strong>second worst country in the world</strong> for the transgender community, based on the <a href="https://www.asherfergusson.com/global-trans-rights-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Global Trans Rights Index</a> . Malaysia was given a score of -105 and the highest danger rating of F with the comment that trans people, especially transfemmes and trans women, face obstacles in the country and are targeted by the police.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a fundraiser to ensure that they remain in the UK, where they can be with their communities, friends and chosen family for the long term.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>ABOUT JIEN:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jien is a Malaysian Chinese nonbinary transfemme and immigrant. They are more than this: they are one of our dearest and and valued member of the queer QTIPOC/ESEA community, where they have been the co-founder of <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/yteuluteg/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draig Fest</a> , Wales and the Southwest's Queer Lunar New Year festivals; a longterm committee member of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBzNRApRRXV/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trans Pride Cardiff</a> ; previous committee member of the QTIPOC support group in Wales (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/glittercymru" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glitter Cymru</a>) and is currently the Chair of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board LGBTQIA+ Staff Network. They have never stopped caring and supporting community ever since they've set foot in South Wales.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the strict visa regulations imposed by the government has seen an incredulous amount of immigrants having to return back to their home countries, as the current Skilled Worker Visa threshold is a whopping £38,700 (!!!) unless you're in the shortage occupation list. This means you are not allowed to work in the UK unless your job hits a minimum of £38,700 a year - barely reachable for many working class communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jien's visa is expiring next week (18th July), and they will be forced to return to Malaysia. The only way to return is via a student visa, in which they have an offer from a university to study masters. <strong>However, this requires a £7,200 deposit. </strong>Unless they can find the money in the month to pay this, they will not be able to return back to the UK and continue building the amount of years required for permanent residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>BREAKDOWN OF GOFUNDME COSTS:</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>£7200 - International student course fees deposit

<li>£1000 - Return flights to and from Malaysia

Help Jien stay and remain in the UK

<div>Hi, my name is Joan and I’m a black trans fem. I’m currently working two jobs in order to afford living by myself on a super tight budget. This means I can’t really save much money to put towards gender affirming care, and for the past couple years my gender dysphoria has got increasingly bad. At points I’ve felt completely hopeless about my transition, feeling as if I will always be trapped looking like a man. This affects my mental health greatly and has at times pushed me to some very dark places and it has hard because I do not have a lot of local community support. I’m asking for funding to go towards my facial feminisation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> I will be trying to save some of my own funds as well, so the funds raised here will go to towards the total rather than being the sole amount. Any support, even a share, would be greatly appreciated.
</div>

Help black trans fem get facial feminisation

<div>Hello human beanies reading this ♡
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Ro. I’m a trans masc/non-binary human raising funds to finally yeet the teet (top surgery).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I dream of the day I stand bare chested in the sunshine and my body feels like home. Of tracing my fingers across healed scars and remembering everything it took to get here. I long to look in the mirror and recognise myself with softness instead of distance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Starting this fundraiser felt deeply vulnerable. Asking for help so publicly cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. But what I found waiting for me was community. Love. People showing up with donations, bake sales, shared links, kind words, time, care, and shoulders to cry on when I felt overwhelmed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As exhausting as it is to exist as a trans person right now, this journey has also shown me how deeply connected we are. Every contribution, no matter the size, has become part of my survival and future. Truly, thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am grateful that I am Trans. Despite how terrifying, complicated, expensive and difficult it can be. It has given me a home within a community. I found something I didn’t know was possible. I don’t think I would have had a opportunity to experience this level of love and support and so for that, I am eternally grateful and is why I continue to volunteer, support my community and i hope that once a qualified therapist, I can offer my services at a low cost to give back to those in positions just like me. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little about me: I’m a queer, sober, disabled artist, advocate, events organiser, trainee counsellor, animal lover and nature goblin. I run a dog walking and pet sitting business, work on a city farm, organise queer community events, and provide disability advocacy on a voluntary basis, while also navigating debilitating complex chronic illness. Which is honestly a full time job in itself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of my health, travelling abroad for cheaper surgery is no longer safe or viable. I need surgery in the UK with local post-op support, which means the costs are much higher than I originally planned for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fundraising has been beautiful and exhausting all at once. But being held by community in this way has healed parts of me I didn’t know needed healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything you can give, whether that’s donating, sharing, or simply reading this, means more than I can say.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I cannot wait to finally feel at home in my body.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lots of love and hugs,
</div>
<div>Ro xx

Yeet the teet. LIFE SAVING GENDER AFFIRMING CARE ❤️

<div>Hello! My name is Louie River Williams, 30-year-old trans masculine person, poet and boat boy raising money for TOP SURGERY!.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By donating to this fundraiser, you are directly helping me to drastically improve my quality of life. Getting top surgery will help me to finally feel comfortable in my body, and get on with my life, with all the beautiful, difficult, magical complexities that we all experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The current wait time for an initial NHS appointment is six years and five months, meaning I would be 36 before I get to even <em>talk</em> about getting top surgery. As a person living day to day with extremely high levels of chest dysphoria, waiting this long for essential, gender affirming surgery is just not possible. The mental strain and physical effects (skin blistering and long-term effects of repeatedly using binding tape etc.) are just too much. I need to have top surgery as soon as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SO! I’m taking matters into my own hands, raising the £11,580 to cover the cost of going private for top surgery (estimated cost breakdown at the bottom).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any money you can donate will make a huge difference and help me chip away at this goal bit by bit. If you can’t donate (or even if you <em>can </em>but are feeling <strong>extra</strong> lovely) please share this fundraiser far and wide to help me reach this goal by December 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love being trans, but society, the media and the gov are making it f**king hard for us to exist right now. If you can help in any way, I will be HUGELY grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lots of love,
</div>

Louie's TOP SURGERY Fund

<div>Hi, I'm Adrian, a student in Glasgow, and I'm raising funds for Lorelai's transition, as she is a friend of mine. She is a trans woman (she/they) from India and an asylum seeker living in Glasgow. She left India to gain some freedom in Glasgow, away from her transphobic parents who pose a significant threat to her life and would have made it impossible for her to live her life as a trans woman. Charlotte (who is named as the beneficiary) is a friend of Lorelai's who's administrating the account that receives the donations to protect Lorelai's own privacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lorelai came to Glasgow to pursue her studies and she has been able to find a sense of community, which allowed her to finally live as herself. She decided to apply for asylum in the UK to escape her transphobic parents and transphobic society in India permanently.
</div>
<div>In May 2022, the Home Office revoked Lorelai’s right to work after her screening interview, which led us to create the Help Lorelai Survive in Glasgow (<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lorelai-stay-in-glasgow-longterm)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lorelai-stay-in-glasgow-longterm" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lorelai-stay-in-glasgow-longterm</a>)</a> fundraiser, because she would not be able to get back her right to work until May 2023. She exceeded the target of £8,000 on the previous fundraiser in early 2023 and we would like to extend our gratitude towards everyone who amplified and donated to the fundraiser.
</div>
<div>This money has allowed her to move into a new flat from university accommodation and also pay for basic necessities as well as unexpected legal costs.
</div>
<div>In September 2022, Lorelai had her substantial interview with the Home Office, which led them to deny her claim for asylum in December 2022, claiming that the Indian government could still help her and/or she could move somewhere else. This decision led to Lorelai losing access to free legal aid, which meant that she suddenly faced legal fees amounting to £3,500 in the pursuit of appealing against the Home Office’s decision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While navigating the costs of basic survival and extended legal challenges, Lorelai has been unable to begin her transition. Therefore, this fundraiser will provide her with the funds to begin and maintain her transition in these continually challenging times. While she has self-referred to the Sandyford Gender Identity Clinic in Glasgow, their current waiting list is 4+ years long and makes relying on the NHS for transitioning practically impossible. If you know anything about the state of trans healthcare in the UK you will know that these issues of years-long waiting lists are increasingly common, including in Scotland, and directly put trans people at risk. Through this GoFundMe Lorelai, aims to cover the cost of hormones, blood tests and costs of hair removal (essentially laser plus electrolysis). Thereby, the aim of this GoFundMe is to aid in Lorelai's transition until she gets her asylum granted, right to work returned and has a job where she's able to pay for the costs of hormones!
</div>

Lorelai's Transition Fund

<div>Hi, I'm Becca and I'm fundraising for my wonderful boyfriend Felix's top surgery. :)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many in the queer community will be aware, gender affirming care has become increasingly difficult to access for Trans and Non-binary folks in the past few years, with the average waiting list time for top surgery on the NHS at a disgraceful 10 years. Felix has been on that waiting list for nearly 2 years and the prospect of not being able to feel at home in his body for another 8 years is unimaginable for him. Not to mention the fact that binding your chest for years is dangerous and is impacting Felix's scoliosis, making it tricky to for him to bind safely anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He therefore has to save up to go private for top surgery, which would cost in the region of £10,000. Felix is looking to do it locally due to work commitments and wanting to recover in the comfort of his own home. The sum includes the initial consultation (approx. £350), the surgery itself and additional living costs (someone to provide recovery care, rent, food, bills where needed) etc. However, given the cost of living crisis, setting aside that hefty chunk of money would be nigh-on impossible without some support (every little helps).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're therefore reaching out to you guys, Felix's friends and the wider community, to ask if you can share this page and give a donation if you have the means to offer your support. :)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everyone deserves to live in the right body. Top surgery would take a massive weight off Felix’s chest and would be utterly life affirming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can spare any donation towards his medical costs, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us. Or, share this with your pals, colleagues, pets and so on - that would be immensely appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading! Becca xx

Felix's Top Surgery Fundraiser

<font color="#333333">Hi! Our names are Wes (also called Klon, they/them) and YaYa (they/them) and we are artists in Brooklyn. <br /><br />After being  evicted in late January and were forced to temporarily relocate to Atlanta and stay with family while we attempt to accrue funds for our return. We have a lot of long term medical bills and storage costs we are paying off, and as we are still looking for work, we’re cutting deep into our limited savings for living costs. YaYa is in dire need of a surgery to remove a painful and dangerous fibroid, but the surgeon that takes their insurance is in New York. They’ve had to postpone their surgery for months and their pain is making it hard to get through each day. <br /><br />We lived lived in the NYC metro area for about a decade and in that time we fostered truly irreplaceable community and found family whom we miss dearly. I (Wes) am a drag and theatre artist and have a lot of big gigs coming up this spring, summer, and fall, for which I would need to be in New York to participate in. YaYa is a poet and home care aid who was just starting their journey into herbalism and overall (black elder-centered) holistic health care.<br /><br />While the time away from New York has been a MUCH needed reprieve from the rather traumatic last few months (as well as the abrupt nature of our exit) we want to return to the place we’ve made our home. We are asking for help with savings as we look for work to further help us afford being able to return. We’re eternally grateful for any donations or shares!</font>

Help me to get Gender affirming care

<div>Hello everyone. My name is Kiera. I am a 31 year old, British-Jamaician trans individual who is currently attempting to restart my life in Ireland after living in my broken down car for the past few months.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I was a qualified bus driver, with a stable income. I had known Kay for years prior, and apon reuniting while at work in early August, we quickly got close and started a relationship. Around that time, Kay confided that she was close to losing her nan to long term illness, and in the days prior to her passing, I spent most of the time comforting her. Kay's nan passed August 10th 2025. The day after her nan's passing, her uncle gave her an ultimatum to either visit the hospital that day, or they would cut her from the family, and any attempt to say her last goodbyes would be blocked with force. The evening of August 11th, Kay's brother showed up at her door with a gun and threatened to kill her. Herts police were called, asked him to move on, and no further action from the local police was taken. Due to fear for her safety, Kay used her connections with the Met to escalate her case, but they weren't able to offer direct protection, so I stepped in to ensure no-one could actively get to her while the police had time to intervene. Her father, due to stress of her situation, quickly succumbed to an existing heart problem, with the assistance of medical neglect, passed away a week later.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During that week, the threats from other members of the family escalated, and we committed to spending nights either in hotels, or sleeping in my car. Having explained the situation to my family, they made it clear I wasn't welcome home for their own safety, making me homeless. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Over the following 3 weeks, money was exchanged to put a hit on Kay, dozens of arrests were made, I was forced to quit my job, and we were getting close to the end of my savings. The stress of everything had caused Kay to start experiencing seirzures multiple times a day.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The decision was made, with the assistance of a couple of close friends, to relocate to Ireland early September, so we could start our lives again without the target on our backs. With our safety now secured, we then focused on getting Kay's health under control, spending time in hospital for her seizures, and getting her back on medication and seeing a therapist for her mental health.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Living out of the car, in a country we entered underprepared and without funds, getting through the mountain of paperwork we needed was taking months instead of the weeks we originally expected. The car was also gaining more and more problems after a month of being driving hard, and many months of interior damp from us living out of it.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In December, Kay made arrangements to go back to England to visit graves and say her last goodbyes without consulting me. I agreed to her going for 2 weeks, made sure she had enough meds and money for her trip, and let her go, leaving me with around £500 left in my overdraft. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In early January, Kay started limitting contact and distancing herself, and the few times she did message, she made it clear she was in no rush to come back to Ireland. The fear that I was no longer talking to her, and the family we were on the run from had gotten to her, drove me into a depression, and I attempted to take my own life January 26th. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The day after, she finally had a proper conversation with her, and despite me confiding how much I was struggling, she still "needed time", leaving me with no money, in a car that was barely functioning, and no means of seaking medical help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At this point, I called things quit with Kay, and I thought things were over. She was staying with someone in England, and I was stuck in Ireland. She then went completely no contact for 6 days. This was broken when she announced she had a flight into Dublin the next day, followed by her demanding that we get back together. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My current monthly expenses are:

</div>

<div>- HRT = €35

</div>

<div>- Food = €400

</div>

<div>- Car = €250

</div>

<div>And estimated repair costs for the car for me to do the work myself is around €750

</div>

Help support Kiera's basic needs to gain stability again

<b><i>A little update…</i></b><br /><br />It's hard to believe that my top surgery is now just over <b>2 months away!  <br /></b><br />After years of waiting, planning and saving, it's finally becoming real. My surgery is booked for <b>12th September</b>, and I'm incredibly excited, and grateful all at the same time.

Since starting this fundraiser, <b>£600</b> has been donated towards my gender affirming healthcare. To everyone who has donated, shared my page, or simply encouraged me along the way, <i>thank you</i>. Your love, support and kindness has genuinely helped me get closer to something that will change my life.

Top surgery isn't about becoming someone different. It's about finally feeling comfortable in the body I've always known to be mine. It'll mean being able to play rugby without the fatigue and restrictions of binding, returning to the gym more comfortably, frolicking shirtless in nature, wearing the clothes I want, and simply existing without carrying the weight of chest dysphoria every day. <br /><br />I'm continuing to save as much as I possibly can myself, but if anyone is in a position to donate or even share my fundraiser, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every contribution, however small, genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you for following this journey with me. I can't wait to share this next chapter with you all.
<br /><br />Love,<br />Keeno (Matt)

Keeno's Top Surgery

<div>My name is Simeon (Sym), I am a neurodivergent trans boi, artist and community worker based in Birmingham. In order to support my healthcare I am raising funds for my upcoming top surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Going through the NHS is not a viable option for me (as for many) due to the ongoing transphobia in our healthcare system and the rising waiting times to be seen at a gender identity clinic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Having this surgery would bring me closer to feeling aligned with myself. I have begun medically transitioning via HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and my next essential step is top surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation and share significantly supports my transition and contributes to me feeling fully alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, sharing, and for your precious donation ❤️
</div>

Simeon's top surgery

<div>Hi, my name is August, I'm 20 and I'm finally starting my top surgery journey to help my dysphoria and begin a life in a body that is truly mine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am hoping to raise £9,000 for the consultation process, the surgery and my aftercare, so that I can be safe financially and physically. This has to all be done privately as the NHS Healthcare would mean I would have to wait 5 years just for a consultation. With your help, I can have this all done and be fully recovered by 2026 latest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a 20 year old trans non-binary person living in London. With the costs of living I am currently working two jobs as well as being an Actor and a Musician. Top surgery has been something I have been wanting for more than two years but my financial situation has always hindered me, which is why I have started this gofundme.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is not much representation out there for people like me so it took a really long time to stop feeling like I was an imposter. However, I have now never felt so confident about who I am and how I feel about my identity, so top surgery is something I want and need more than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not a decision that was made lightly and I have taken very careful consideration and am completely aware of the permanence of it. If you were in my shoes, you would see how much this surgery would change my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of my chest, I cannot look at myself in the mirror, I feel uncomfortable in almost all of my clothes, I am constantly aware of my shirts clinging to my chest, I hate pictures being taken of me etc. As you can see, there is not a second in the day where I am not constantly aware and uncomfortable about my chest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, with all that said, I would massively appreciate your support in any way. Whether you can donate (any amount - nothing is too small) or you can only support by sharing and spreading the word (because of cozzy livs), I will love you forever if I don't already.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you show me your donation in real life I will give you a massive hug ;) ahahahha.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love you all so much,
</div>

<div>My name is Ashton. I'm 20 years old and I'm transgender female to male. I've been trans for over 8 years now and I am in the process of finding the help I need to reach my goal. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Things have been difficult for me and I've had a history of suicidal tendancies and self harm due to the dysphoria and bullying I've experienced during my time. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was accepted into a gender clinic over 4 years ago and I am yet to have my first appointment. I've got this go fund me to help assist the costs of getting my surgery done in Poland as I have discovered this is the cheaper option. I'm currently working on adding my own money to this but an extra hand would be amazing as I'm certain I can't afford this on my own. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I changed my name legally at 16 and was able to begin testosterone 2 years ago, yet this doesn't cure my dysphoria. I use binders to help me flatten my chest but sometimes even trying that and seeing my chest still upsets me. Though my confidence has risen since growing up, I still do struggle with my chest and since 11 my dream goal has been to finally have this surgery I've longed for. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The smallest of funds will mean the world to me, and if you have read this thank you so much. I understand there are many more important things to put your money towards but please know your donations will change my life and I will appreciate every penny. I'm excited to be able to afford this surgery and thinking about how close I could be is so surreal. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Don't feel pressured into donating, instead simply just sharing this will help me a bunch! Thank you, I hope you're having a good day.

Top Surgery Fund

<div>Hi, I'm Jeanie, and I'm raising money for top surgery. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of you will know my story, but I will give you a little run down now for those who don't. I came out as trans when I was 17 and went through the NHS to start my physical transition. I got sent through the Child and Adolescent mental health services and onto the Tavistock and Portman children's gender services. By the time I arrived, I was too old, and they referred me straight to adult services. 
</div>
<div>After three years of waiting, I finally saw a doctor there and talked through my dysphoria. Six months later, I saw another doctor. This doctor diagnosed me with gender dysphoria. Then told me I had to take testosterone before having top surgery. They asked me if I could stay at a friend's house, if I could borrow £20 from that friend, they said if that was the case, I should abandon my family. 
</div>
<div>I left the appointment completely lost and confused; these were the people who were there to help me. I decided to leave the NHS services. This was six years ago. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I have come out as nonbinary, changed my name (again) and decided to go private with my top surgery. This means I need to raise the money for the letters from the gender specialists, the consultations and surgery, and my rent and bills over my recovery time.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's been a long journey from 15 to 26 and I'm hoping if you reading this can pitch in what you can, I will get there. Wish me luck!
</div>

Help Jeanie Get Top Surgery!

<div>Hi there, I'm Ki! I'm a trans-masculine non-binary intersex actor, facilitator and LGBTQIA+ advocate from the UK, and I'm looking to raise money for my gender-affirming care!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am very happy to share that I have now booked my surgery date! On April 30th 2025, I'll be having a gender-affirming mastectomy accompanied by my wonderful partner Hattie! (Pictured below) We're over halfway towards my fundraising goal but there is still a long way to go!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/72291965_1741375952726911_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'll be having the surgery privately through <a href="https://www.nordesthetics.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NORDESTHETICS</a> in Lithuania to alleviate my chest dysphoria and be able to live my life comfortably as a masculine-presenting person. I'm hoping to raise £5,000 to cover the cost of the surgery (£3000-£4000), accommodation in Lithuania with assisted medical care (£400-£600), as well as aftercare coverage in the UK upon my return (£375-£450) which is a lot of money for a freelance actor and facilitator!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2021 and since then, due to chronic pain, binding has been much harder for me than before but I don't feel comfortable doing my job as an actor or living my life in general without binding my chest whenever I can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any money raised here that isn't used for the costs associated with my surgery will be redistributed to other fundraisers for LGBTQ+ folks seeking gender-affirming healthcare. Every little helps! Anything donated will be greatly appreciated, and if you can't donate, share this GoFundMe far and wide!
</div>
