Wren's Top Surgery

Hello! I'm Wren, and I'm fundraising for my top surgery!

I have a surgery date confirmed for October 31st, 2023 with Dr Garramone in Davie, FL! My surgery has been quoted as follows:

Surgery Fee: $12,000 (due September 30th)

Hospital Fee: $2,275 (due day of surgery)

Pathology Fee: $300 (due day of surgery)

I have already paid $1,000 towards the Surgery Fee in order to reserve my pre-op, surgery, and post-op dates, but the remaining $11,000 will be due very soon! My partner's mother will be generously taking care of our travel expenses, as I will need to be in Davie, FL from October 30th to November 6th for each of my scheduled appointments. There are a few items I will have to grab to make my recovery easier (drain pouch, wedge pillow, seatbelt pillow, etc.), and I should be able to take care of small expenses like my subsequent pain medication just fine. But this surgery is still quite the expense, which is where I am asking for your help!

I'm located in Florida, which is convenient due to the location of Dr Garramone's surgery center, but inconvenient in several other ways. Our governor recently signed into law many restrictions that inhibit ease of access to care for trans minors AND trans adults, so I am not optimistic about my insurance's ability or willingness to cover the $2,275 hospital fee. In addition to that, I need an extra signature on my clearance for surgery that's a little confusing, but my local clinic has so far been nothing but supportive, so I'm hoping that won't complicate this process too much!

I've set a goal of $15,000 for this surgery in order to cover the Surgery Fee, Hospital Fee, Pathology Fee, platform fees, and taxes, in addition to any surprises along the way. I will do my best to update each step of the journey, starting with getting the proper paperwork in place!

Thank you so much for helping me live the life I've always wanted! <3
