Ashton La Forteza's Gender Affirming Surgery (Mastectomy)

Bay of Plenty

Ashton Roots La Forteza is a 27 year old Filipino trans masc, non-binary person, in the early stages of their transition.

Gender dysphoria is often debilitating and makes it very difficult for trans people to get on with their day to day life, this happens a lot to Ashton as a Trans and Gender Fluid person, some days they find it hard to even do day to day tasks as the anxiety to leave home can be very overwhelming.

Currently in Aotearoa there has been a long wait list to get publicly funded through the government and privately the cost is usually really high.

I would fully appreciate your help, ngā mihi nui!

Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
