Kitty Lynn's Transition Fund
Donation protected
My name is Kitty and I'm a 22 year old transwoman living in northern Indiana. My transition has been a slow process ever since I was 14, and I began taking hormones when I was 17. It truly made me feel so much better to start living as my real self, but unfortunately it hasn't gotten much easier since then.
In April of 2016 I was moving to Olathe, Kansas to live with my ex boyfriend. Only two weeks after I got there, the apartment caught fire. It was an incredibly traumatic experience for me, especially considering I lost nearly all of my clothes. Everything in our apartment was destroyed. My boyfriend was able to replace most of his possesions through his insurrance, however it wouldn't cover any of the items I lost. That set me back quite a bit, I still have not been able to get back everything that was lost. And with the mountain of other things that I need to save up for, it's so very discouraging.
For a long time I wasn't sure whether or not making something like this was self-centered, although it's gotten to a point where the constant stress of how I will ever afford to transition is not only taking a toll on my mental state, but my physical health as well. I have always been thin ever since I was a child, but this anxiety has seemed to make me more malnourished than I ever have been. Which is very counter-productive to my transition. My goal is to gain quite a bit of weight so I can see proper feminine weight-distribution and breast development so that one day soon I could get breast implants and alleviate a lot of my dysphoria.
Though that is just one of the things impeding on my overall health and happiness. Some days just looking in the mirror at myself is a struggle. There are so many things about myself that hinder my ability to feel comfortable in my own skin. So I've decided to make this fund in hopes that it will eventually help me afford facial feminization surgery. FFS is a set of multiple procedures such as hairline correction, forehead and jaw recontouring, rhinoplasty, adam's apple reduction, etc. Many of these procedures I believe would greatly alleviate much of my dysphoria. Though the cost of seeing a reputable doctor for these surgeries is quite hefty, and I don't know how I could ever afford them by myself at this point in my life.
However, this fund is not purely for these procedures, it will also help me afford my medication, doctor visits, clothes I have lost, and protein/nutrition shakes to help me gain weight.
If you took the time to read this, thank you so much, and I would greatly appreciate any sort of help you could provide if able. You have no idea how much it would mean to me, no matter the amount. To just know that there are compassionate people out there willing to help someone like me would give me so much hope. Once again, thank you for your time and support.
