Help Ella pay for her Facial Feminisation Surgery

Heya all,

My name is Ella, and I am crowdfunding for my FFS. The surgery itself is coming in at 14,000. I will need a hotel for 3 weeks in Hasselt, Belgium, and will also have a loss of earnings for around a month during recovery. So the figure will be much closer to 17,000. Due to being out of work currently, mostly due to the film & TV strikes, and there being much more competition, this is also making this figure even more daunting. On top of this, I am having to move house due to a transphobic hate crime committed on me by my current neighbour, with police involved.

FFS is a necessary for me in dealing with my dysphoria, but also, for my safety. The world, and in particular, the UK is becoming more and more unsafe for trans people. If this surgery can help me "pass under the radar," better, then I will be less likely to be attacked and abused in public places. Hate crimes against trans people are skyrocketing, and I'm pretty terrified of going to a lot of places in case I get "clocked."

Unfortunately, these surgeries are not covered under the NHS, and the clinics within the UK seem to fall short of the standard one would expect when having this kind of surgery. I have decided to go to Hasselt, Belgium, to the Face2FaceClinic run by Dr Beckers & Dr Van Genechten.

My surgery is booked for January 2024. I had my consultation in Belgium in June, which also came in quite costly.

If anyone could help out with anything at all, I would be so very grateful. If this could also be shared, it would mean a lot!

Thank you so much in advance.
