Hello, my name is Ray and I’m an 18 year old transgender man. I need to get top surgery in December as I’ve been binding for three years, and am now at risk for damaging my chest and rib cage as well as worsening my spinal issues and chronic back pain. The surgery would make my chest flat and conform to my identity as a man, and also erase the medical risks I currently have while binding my chest.
I have already been evaluated by a surgeon, and the quote for surgery is $7,500. I can cover about $1,000, so I need to raise the remaining $6,500 by mid November. If the money is raised, I can get the surgery in December and recover before I start college in January.
Thank you to everyone who donates, every little bit helps my situation!
