Support Joa's Top Surgery on Feb 27
Donation protected
Hi everyone! My name is Tori and I'm creating this GoFundMe for my wonderful partner, Joa!
The goal of this fundraiser is to raise money to cover the costs of their gender-affirming care (top surgery) + medical supplies, missed work wages to pay for rent in March (during healing), and home utilities.
Joa has needed top surgery and has had severe gender dysphoria since they were 10 years old. After many financial and emotional hurdles that involved the loss of their mom to cancer, they are now finally able to access the medical care they need to soothe their constant dysphoria. We look forward to their surgery date on February 27th and know that any emotional and financial support given before, during, and after surgery will be most graciously appreciated!
From the words of Joa themself, they say "To all who read and reach out, I love you immensely, I appreciate your coming together as my community whether you are familiar to me or a stranger. Just being able to have the opportunity to get surgery and receive so much love and support through this time means the world to me, and any help throughout the new year, as I gear up for surgery, will be a large weight lifted from my large gay shoulders. I can't wait to emerge from my chrysalis as a new being and reinvest back into my community with a body that matches my soul. Wish me luck and take care during this time. I will be thinking about all of you! "
