Help Xo finally get top surgery!

Xo:
Hi! I’m Xo. I’m a trans non-binary guy, artist, and single parent.
For as long as I can remember my chest has been the greatest physical, emotional and mental burden I’ve ever had in my life. Since the beginning my chest has been disproportionately larger than the rest of my body, given me severe chronic back pain since I was 15 years old, and most recently I’ve developed costochondritis (painful inflammation of my rib cartilage, gone ignored and unchecked by my past doctors). I’ve also had endless body image issues because of them, now identified as dysphoria related to my gender identity.
At this point it’s difficult to do anything at all without pain including sleeping, working out, working to survive and support my family, and just existing. At this stage I’m so unhappy, uncomfortable in my body, and in constant pain. The only way I can remedy this is with top surgery. I’m hoping that I can get cleared for surgery officially next month. I need diagnostic tests first for my most recent medical issue: a dreaded lump in my chest. Hopefully it’s nothing life-threatening and I can continue manifesting my plans for top surgery. That’s where this fundraiser comes in.
I won’t be able to handle costs of this magnitude on my own, but with your help I’ll be able to be free of this painful burden and l can literally get my life back. I know this surgery will drastically improve my quality of life and my overall health. At this point I’m dependent on it. Once I can get clearance from my doctors, I’m hoping to get my surgery booked for the end of October or early November.
If you would like to help I would appreciate it so much! Every single contribution will help make this 15 year dream I’ve had a reality. You’ll be helping me be my most healthy and authentic self, giving me the greatest freedom and relief I could ever experience on this earth. Thank you for taking the time to learn more.
**Update- I've been cleared for top surgery at the beginning of November. Please help me reach my goal a month BEFORE my surgery!**
