Top Surgery for Rae
Donation protected
Hey friends! I can't believe it's my 30th birthday!
I want to thank all my friends who have supported me over the years as I've discovered who I am (a non-binary, trans, queer human).
As many of you know, I changed my name to Rae and pronouns to they/them a few years ago. While this has helped me feel more at ease in the world, I still don't feel at home in this body.
In my 30th year, I'd love to say goodbye to my twenties and my top!
To make me feel more at home in my body, I’d love to book in for a top surgery with Dr Cheng Lo by the end of this year.
The surgery costs a whopping $10k AUD.
Based on other peoples' top surgeries with Dr Cheng Lo, they provided the following breakdown of costs:
• Surgeon fee ~$4150
• Anaesthetist ~$1350
• Hospital fees $3750
• Consult with Dr Lo ~$250
• $500 excess fee for surgery (with HBF)
• This estimate is the cost out of pocket after insurance and/or Medicare rebates.
Unfortunately (despite working my butt off) it's not financially feasible for me to pay for the full cost of the surgery. Knowing this, I'm hoping to crowdfund $7,500AUD ($5,545USD) to get me over the line so I can be at peace within myself.
I know it might take time to reach this fundraising goal, but very few gender affirming surgeries in Australia are able to happen without the help of crowdfunding and community support, and that's why I really need your help to make my surgery possible!
Anything you can spare (even if it's a few dollars) will bring me a little bit closer to having this amazing surgery!
Note: Any donations exceeding my goal will go towards the full ($10k) cost of the surgery and will help offset any GoFundMe processing fees.
