VOCAL FEMINIZATION SURGERY FUND FOR NICOLA!

Hi there! As many of you know, my name is Nicola and I'm a trans creator on TikTok. Nice to e-meet you! The reason I started this GoFundMe is to raise money to undergo a much-desired gender affirmation surgery - Vocal Feminization Surgery.

Long story short, I have a deep voice and it has always caused intense dysphoria for me - I've been ridiculed online and sometimes even in-person for it, and though I've embraced this aspect of myself and decided not to voice train (as it felt inauthentic to me), I've always wanted to get VFS to help with my dysphoria if I could find a surgeon I truly trusted. Flash forward to finding Dr. James Thomas out of Portland, Oregon (a seasoned professional in the VFS field who's before and after work is absolutely incredible - see here: https://www.voicedoctor.net/surgery/audio-examples/ ). Dr. Thomas is the perfect surgeon for me and I'm emotional at the prospect of receiving a life-changing surgery like this.

This all said, the surgery is quite expensive ($15,500 plus travel/accomodation fees of about $1K), and your girl does not have the funds to pay for this on top of all of the other transition-related procedures I'm exploring (laser hair removal, brow bone-shave + hairline transplant, and GRS). If you have some extra money you're willing to donate to help me get this surgery, I would be FOREVER grateful - any little bit you're willing to donate would make me so happy. In exchange, I promise to document the entire process on my TikTok for education purposes.

Love you all,

Nicola <3
