Mad’s Top Surgery Fund

Who I am
Hi y’all! I’m Mad! (Short for Maddox, not like I’m angry.) I’m a 27-year-old, non-binary humanoid, living in Florida, and I accept and encourage all pronouns. This gofundme is to raise money for my top surgery!!!

What is top surgery?
This is a reconstructive surgery that removes all the feminine tissue and contours the chest to create a more masculine appearance.  More information here .

Why
This procedure would take so much weight off my chest, literally and figuratively! I am extremely uncomfortable with this area of my body and it causes me a lot of distress. I had a gastric sleeve done three years ago and my life has completely changed for the better. However, I still suffer from so much dysphoria due to my feminine chest, and the added excess skin on it from the weight loss has made it increasingly more difficult to bear. During COVID I have had a lot more time being still with my body and have realized this affects me so much more than I thought. I have also been on testosterone and as the hormone therapy works, the dysphoria increases. So my friends, for my well-being, it’s time!

How you can help
This surgery unfortunately will not be completely covered by insurance, so I am asking for help! I am saving everything I can while asking for donations to assist with the costs of surgery and post-operative needs. I will be in great care with my surgeon, Dr Sassani , my supportive partner, Liz, my family, and all my amazing friends. I know many are going through tough financial times currently, but anything helps, and I really, really appreciate all the support I can get. My surgery date is looking to be scheduled in May. I will update with the exact date after approval. 

Thanks y’all!
