Cover cost for Chels's top surgery
Donation protected
Hey friends, this is Chels!
I'm very lucky to be having top surgery on November 1st. It's been a long process to secure the surgery date, and it's finally almost here. I've had a lifelong struggle with my gender identity, and often have difficulty with gender dysphoria. This surgery is another step in rectifying the divide between who I am on the inside and how I present on the outside. Bridging this gap has become more and more urgent as I've gotten older.
Up until about a month go, my surgery was going to be covered by my insurance, at no cost to me. Unfortunately, I was required to change my policy and now my partner and I will be facing medical costs that we were not able to properly prepare or save for. We are a low-income family, so we're hoping we might be able to raise some funds to help us.
It would mean the world if you're able to donate even just a little, and if not that, if you'd be able to share this link around. We are so grateful for the support and love we feel from our friends, family, and community.
With love and gratitude,
