Help Graves Pay for Top Surgery
Donation protected
Hello! You can call me Graves.
I'm a trans masc artist and creator, and have been out as a man on and off for over a decade. Only recently (2022) was I able to pursue medical transition, and have been on Testosterone since October 31st, 2022 .
I'm chronically ill and work from home as a freelance software developer, and my pay depends on what work is available. I sell my art, zines, perfumes and teas on the side, and have been using those to fundraise for my procedure!
I'm updating this GFM a year later with a happy announcement: I've found a local surgeon who is much more affordable out of pocket! His bedside manner, friendliness and professionalism really struck a chord with me, and I'm happy to announce I've decided to switch to him (Dr. Eric Emerson).
I've already put my downpayment in ($1,900) and have $8,000 left to go.
Cost breakdown is currently:
- Downpayment ($1,900)
- Procedure and post op: ($7,600)
- Hotel room near surgery center (uncertain, likely $120/night for three nights [day before, day of, night after])
- Medication (uncertain, likely $50+)
If you donate $50 or more, I will personally send you art or one of my other creations as thanks!
