Help Saving for Electrolysis
Donation protected
My name is Sierra and I'm a 21 year old transwoman. Some people might immediately know what that means, but others are probably already asking questions. What I mean is that when I was born my gender was assigned male. I was born with a male body, and I am currently taking hormones to correct that, as I transition into a female body.
One of the things that hormones can't affect is the growth of my facial hair. I have always had dark and thick facial hair that has caused severe dysphoria for me. Dysphoria is the state of feeling uncomfortable in your own body, and is something that many transgender people experience on a day to day basis. My skin is sensitive and shaving can be very painful for me. It's also very difficult for me to hide the stubble that grows through the day.
I am currently on social assistance and have a hard time maintaining a job because of my anxiety and dysphoria. This money would be used to help me obtain electrolysis sessions. Electrolylsis is a method of hair removal, and is currently the only method of permanent hair removal. These sessions are around 60 to 80 dollars for an hour long session. Somebody with facial hair like myself will have to take many sessions.
At first I was nervous to look into gofundme, but I've seen a lot of people receive great help from very generous people. Right now any donation can help me very much and I appreciate it with all my heart!
