Top Surgery Crowd funding resource

this blog exists as a place for in- need trans people to seek help from the community and allies to raise money for top surgery,any donations help. I hope to grow this blog widely so that small donations at a time can go a very far way for many trans people. for many who cannot afford top surgery , this resource could be invaluable if it reaches far enough.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/unvhev-olivers-top-surgery

hey guys ! so as my followers know, im a 21 year old trans guy. i started T in january after being out for many years, and now that im finally feeling more at home in this body i really wanna polish off one of the things still really holding me back from being comfortable. I have really crippling top dysphoria and binding is really taking its toll on me after being at it for about nine years. if you could donate even a few dollars, it’d mean the world to me. i’m hoping to get surgery within the winter/spring! thank you so much.

Top surgery crowdfunding made easy? Back again, trying to gain traction !

Hey again! here at GetTopSurgery , I am trying to create a easier way navigate inner community crowdfunding for top surgery!

How it would work : so you have a top surgery crowdfunding campaign , or want one, but have no idea who would contribute, how it would spread?

You have some spare bucks to share, want to help other members of the community, but aren’t sure how?

Well let’s say there was a blog that was followed by , say, 10,000 trans people. Not even a toe in the pool of the community. Let’s say your top surgery goal is 7,000 dollars ?

Less than half of the following of this blog would have to donate just 2 dollars to put you well over your goal.

How can I help? Follow and share this blog! if you want to help other trans people through small donations to crowdfunds, follow! if we get this blog enough traction, enough followers who could spare a few bucks every once in a while , we could kick this off Big.

How could I submit?

Submit your post! submit a post with the link to your crowdfund and a small bio about yourself. Then our followers do the magic of donating and sharing !

Why?

Because as a community, I feel it’s our responsibility to take care of each other. Surgery is expensive, often not covered by insurance, and many of our community find themselves without the resources to pay for these surgeries that are vital for them.

Our community is large. Our community is strong. And our community could really stand to start supporting each other in a time that it feels so divided.

You can help other trans people, and other trans people can help you.

We are in this together.

So to make this come true, here what we do

-follow this blog

-REBLOG this post to spread the idea and get more people in on it

- SUBMIT your link and bio!

-donate ! remember that if we are in this together, even small donations can go a huge way!!

top surgery crowd funding : were in this together , a new resource for top surgery crowd funding

have an idea that , if executed well with YOUR help, could make life so much easier for in-need trans people who cannot afford top surgery.

top surgery generally costs above 6000 here in the US and is often not covered by insurance, or the surgeon doesnt accept insurance. this leaves many trans people scrambling to save money they dont have to eventually afford top surgery, or worse, leaves poor trans folks unavailable to get top surgery in the foreseeable future which can increase the anxiety that often accompanies dysphoria.

so heres the idea : if we could create a singular resource page, a well known resource page to link youcaring pages to to collect for our surgeries from other community members and allies, we could easily distribute wealth among the community to those in need.

some blogs on this website have well over 6000 followers, and if we could get there and everyone donated just one dollar a day to a youcaring of a trans person who needs it, we could cover this community. we can and should take care of one another, we share a struggle and should also share the means to overcome it.

i know personally as a transguy that my dysphoria causes me great anxiety and my lack of funds has always been something that keeps me feeling trapped, but we dont have to be trapped. we dont have to struggle this way. we can and we should come together to help one another.

so heres my idea and general lay out

the blog functions as a kind of meeting point. you submit your gofundme for surgery, and then the followers from this resource can donate small bits from each of us to raise money for you quicker than a traditional post you hope circulates from a main blog, which can take a rather long time. this would cut that middle man out, making us all have this common ground.

if this sounds like a good idea to you, give the blog a follow and help me get it up on its legs.
