Hi yโall!
ย
My name is Juno (he/him). I am a butch transmasculine lesbian seeking aide for gender affirming medical expenses. After much debate and a lot of inner turmoil, I have decided to start crowdfunding to help me afford top surgery. Originally my goal was to save the money myself, as I feared putting too much stress on my community, but despite working multiple jobs, having side hustles, and otherwise seeking alternate funding, I fear that I will be unable to come up with the money necessary by its due date.
ย
The combination of saving for my surgery while also grappling with student loans, existing debt, and living costs has caused a lot of stress in my life which is greatly affecting my mental health and ability to function. Constant binding for over five years has left me with unbearable back and chest pain that I grapple with on a daily basis, and the mental toll of chest dysphoria severely affects my quality of life more and more every day. If I continue to rely on saving money by myself (and from only my minimum wage job), I fear that I will not be able to save the money by October 31st, which is the date that my fees are due in order to keep my appointment. The sense of urgency surrounding this fundraising effort is accented by the increasingly dangerous atmosphere for trans people in America and my pressing need for medical care.
ย
My goal is to raise $6,000. This, supplemented by my existing savings, will hopefully cover the bulk of my medical costs (the surgery itself, anesthesia, and bloodwork) as well as supplies needed for recovery. That being said, literally any amount will help me avoid the giant pile of medical debt that I am currently facing down.
ย
I appreciate you all so so much. Thank you in advance for your help and love :)
ย
With love,
ย
Juno
