Fundraising to get this weight off my chest!

Christchurch, Canterbury

Kia ora, in case we haven't met before I am Hinn :) I am a 22 year old and identify as trans-masculine currently fundraising for top surgery. I'm based in Ōtautahi Christchurch and have been involved in the queer community for many years, volunteering and advocating for our rainbow whānau.

Living in my body makes me feel extremely dysphoric, and is a struggle I'm having to face every day. I've been compressing my chest for many years now, which has severely impacted my back, resulting in regular physiotherapy being needed.

I have just finished up a three year degree and would love to get surgery as soon as possible so I can start my new career without this mental stress and weight on my shoulders.

As you are probably aware surgery here in Aotearoa New Zealand is extremely expensive and I was unfortunately taken off the public waitlist without reason, and was denied funding a few months before my scheduled surgery date earlier this year.

Due to this, I am having to go privately, so I am hoping for your help. Any donation is greatly appreciated, and all funds raised will be going directly towards the surgery itself. Even sharing this within your networks may help me reach my goal.

Thank you :)

Funding has been accepted !  8 September 2026

It's official! My request for partial funding through St George's Hospital philanthropic fund was accepted! This wouldn't have been possible without the help of so many generous donors, quiz partakers, and endless support from those around me. I was offered a surgery date for next month, so will be closing this page. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been accepted and can't thank all of you enough <3
