Top surgery for an Oklahoman Trans Guy!

My story! 

Hello, I am a man of many names! Some may know me as Rice, others maybe as Box, Wofs, Woffers, Tidbit.. the list can go on. I have been struggling with horrible gender dysphoria for as long as I can remember. Here lately it has been preventing me from doing a lot of the things I enjoy. 

I was lucky enough to be able to start testosterone in April of 2023 which has been great and boosted my confidence a lot but it obviously has not changed the one thing that I’ve hated ever since they started developing. My chest.

Everyday feels like a living nightmare just because of my chest. It sucks when I get told that they are not a big deal but to put it into perspective, I don't get to wear the clothes I want to wear because of how dysphoric I get. Showers are incredibly hard to get through as i hate having to taking off my binder for any reason. Sometimes I struggle to even get up out of bed because of how much this effects me mentally.

I’ve spent the last 7 years for about 12 hours a day binding my chest. Luckily I have no damage to my knowledge but there are certainly times where i experience pains from it. 

Binding has become so exhausting and i just really don't know how much more i can take of this. I risk my ribs getting damaged with how often i do it and when i use tape, my already sensitive skin gets torn. Everyday gets harder and harder to get through, this surgery would honestly save my life.

I really hate asking for help as it makes me feel bad but I dont have much financial support for getting top surgery other than my own job which I get paid 13.75/hr for. Any leftover money would go towards my hrt, i pay $99 a month through plume since living in Oklahoma can be rather difficult to find places that will provide gender affirming care. Money will be going towards paying off my financing I've gotten for the surgery so far.

This surgery would really be lifesaving, but it’s definitely hard to afford when you're a broke college student not even making a living wage.

any money leftover will be used toward paying for my hormones/travel/surgery aftercare

and i feel horrible asking for money without providing a service so feel free to @ me (lvicnrn on stantwt or @barkinBox on furrytwt) with a receipt and ill draw you a little doggy of your choice!

In short, this surgery would honestly give me a chance to be happy in this short life were alreadt given. Anything helps, sharing is greatly appreciated:)
