A new life: support Guccel w feminization surgery

Guccel is a 41 year old Black trans woman, born in St. Martin and raised in Curaçao. Gucci is part of the Dutch Ballroom scene as a house member of the Pioneering House of Vineyard.

She is looking for support with feminization surgery. After a long period of trying to start this part of the journey on her own, working hard to save up money and being met with rejection within the Dutch healthcare system, she is ready to be supported by her community.

Guccel: “Getting this surgery will be like starting a new life. Having bodily insecurities has been taxing on my mental health as it ties in with my overall safety and confidence at the same time. It would be a dream come true and bring me so much peace and joy if my body would match who I truly am. I cannot make it on my own, so any help would be greatly appreciated.”

Your funds will support Guccel with:

being able to make the next step in her medical transition. A journey that will need € 6000,-.

Making this step will directly benefit her mental and physical health, if the community can come together and support her with this. We want to get Guccel as close to the goals as possible, will you join us?

Guccel’s joy can currently be found in coming together to chill and party with her people and delving into anything connected to aviation. She enjoys playing flight-simulator games and relaxing days by herself with music on in the background. Guccel: “I feel deeply supported by my chosen family here in The Netherlands. I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope to keep moving forward with the help of my friends and the community. Next to this dream, I hope to travel the world in the future. What I will keep telling myself and those around me is ‘Be who you are, stay healthy, do what you have to do, do what you can do and God will take care of the rest."

Let’s support Guccel in opening the doors to this new chapter and new life.
