Support Ayla's Journey to Self-Love and Confidence

Donation protected
Hi! I'm Ayla, a Deaf trans woman in the US, and I'm requesting your help in funding my breast augmentation surgery that will either be on December 6, 2024, or pushed back to January or February 2025. I'm really hoping for sooner than later, as the future is so uncertain as to our continued autonomy over our own bodies.

I started my transition in 2023, after a lifetime of religious, social, and sexual repression. I've never loved myself more and been so excited about life as I have since starting my transition! It's a whole new lease on life.

I suffer from gender and body dysphoria, and it's been a struggle to love and accept my body. I feel insecure and shy because my breasts are smaller than my stomach, and I want to have the girls more full, more proportional to my overall physique, balance me out. The confidence this will give me to wear clothing that actually looks good on me, to be able to look in the mirror and see myself truly, will be life-changing. I look forward with eager anticipation to the days I feel less insecure and more at home in my own skin. More ME.

Here's the breakdown of where your money is going, to the best of my understanding. I have a 20% out-of-pocket cost with my insurance.

  • For $400, I can pay the surgeon to proceed with the breast augmentation.
  • For $200, I can pay the anesthesiologist to send me to the land of tangerine trees and marmalade skies, and home again.
  • For $2200, I can pay the hospital for the use of their surgical facilities.
  • For $500, I can pay for supplies, such as wound dressings, pain medication, a body pillow, and a surgical bra/compression garment. I will also be able to order food those first few weeks.

Your financial and emotional support of me in my journey would mean the world to me, no matter how large or small the amount. Just knowing, being reassured of the fact that you're out there and you care, lifts my spirits and gives me joy. Thank you so, so much!

Finally, please share this GoFundMe far and wide. Help me get some eyes on this, improve my chances of kind eyes and generous hearts.

Dare to dream, with magic in your eyes. Dare to hope. Dare to BE.

I love you all!
-Ayla
