Help E Get Top Surgery!

Hi! My name is E, and I'm an 18-year-old Black trans man saving for top surgery! I am going to be getting a double-incision mastectomy with nipple grafts/resizing. This will help immensely with my dysphoria and make me feel more comfortable with who I am. Growing up I've never been the most stable person, but as I've grown and learned, most of my issues and insecurities have stemmed from dysphoria. I have been able to relieve some of that dysphoria with testosterone, but surgery is absolutely essential for me to be comfortable with myself and who I am. It's not an option at all for me to skip out on surgery or wait any longer than needed. Dysphoria can never truly be cured, but this surgery will lower it significantly and make my life easier and more comfortable to live.

I have the down payment already, I just need help getting the rest of the amount so it can be paid off, which is due 10 days before surgery. My surgery date is currently September 27th, 2021, so the rest needs to be paid off by September 17th at the latest. It might move up a little bit if I can get in earlier, but if not then that’s the date. I’m aiming for $1,000USD for wiggle room with the payment. I would like to point out though that I am on my own financially for my transition. I have paid for my own testosterone to this point (and will continue to do so), and I saved up the money for the consultation on my own as well. My parents are extremely unsupportive of my medical transition, and they have made it extensively clear to me that they do not want anything to do with it. I'm very lucky to have insurance to help me out with this, but I still need some extra help because I know I can’t do this on my own.

I've had to pay for everything myself up until this point, and will even be paying for my own legal name change when the time comes. I almost afforded that before but things came up and, unfortunately, I was not able to get that done yet. I truly appreciate any support I can get from outside sources. I'm really trying to avoid loans and opening a credit card if it can be avoided. It is essential to my physical and emotional/mental well-being to get this surgery as soon as possible, and I would like to be able to reach my goal.

Genuinely anything helps! Anything means the absolute world to me, and I'm really hoping that I'm able to pay for it and get this very much needed surgery!! Thank you so much in advance, and I really hope that you'll choose to donate and share my campaign so that I can finally continue my transition and be more comfortable with who I am and the way that I look and feel.
