Short Summary
Hi. I'm already well into my 30's. I've been walking with bad posture to hide my chest since they grew on me at 13 years old. I wear two shirts every day to disguise them, even in the dead of summer. I've been living in the wrong body and I finally decided that I'm going to get top surgery-- that is to have my breasts removed and finally be happy.
Up until now, only money has stood in my way.
I set the date for my surgery: January 2013. Having this surgery will be like a rebirth, being able to live in a body that matches my mind. I'm asking you to donate anything from $5 to $500.
What I Need & What You Get
I need $9310. That's a lot. That's why I need you.
- $5750 for surgery
- $2310 for the facility/hospital fee
- $1050 for the anesthesia fee
- $200 for the pathology fee
If I don't reach my goal, I will still move forward with the surgery, and put all the money raised towards it. Everything donated will go towards my top surgery.
Donating to my top surgery is an altruistic endeavor. I won't give you credits on a movie, and i can't offer spa certificates. What I can do is recognize what you've done for me in a personal letter, letting you know that you personally made a difference in the life of a GLBT person, in a time when it's not easy being one of us.
When I have this surgery it will literally be the first day of the rest of my life.
I understand a lot of people don't have extra money laying around. But you can still help! Share via twitter, facebook, anything! I appreciate it.
