Gender Reassignment surgery.

Kia ora (Hello)

My name is “Ateyva” I am 34 years old Trans-woman (Whakawahine) living in the Rotorua district (Lake Rotoma).

I grew up in Te Whaiti/Minginui I am of (Ngati Whare, Tuhoe, Ngati Pikiao, Ngati Porou) descent.

At the age of 3 I showed signs of being different!!. I was quite the feminine one growing up..

At the age 13 I was diagnosed with Gender identity disorder (GID) now known as Gender dysphoria (GD) and started taking hormone treatment to help with the change of my body. Over the years I grew I developed breast’s.

I identify my gender as female/women..

My biggest setback in becoming the woman I am is still having below “YES” Genitalia..

Because of my dysphoria I have been living with chronic depression and other mental health problems..

As being a trans-women I get out to be apart of society (working) my smile on my face isn’t real deep down I am aways thinking horrible thoughts but I don’t show that as I have a bubbly personality..

My struggle is real like most trans-woman in my situation.

So here is where you come in!!

I am asking for help to fund my Gender Reassignment Surgery (sex change) I have tried saving for this my self over the years but I have had no luck as living consumes the money I work hard for.

Please donate help me get though this struggle in my life this surgery will help me get though the obstacles that come before me..

So please support me by donating.

Thank you.
