Geordie's Top Surgery Fundraiser
Wellington
Kia ora, I'm Geordie ☺️
I'm a 25 year old non-binary person from Pōneke travelling to Portugal in July for top surgery. I'm a big fan of the outdoors, especially sea swimming, and I'm so so excited to be able to feel completely comfortable at the beach and in Aotearoa's beautiful native bush 🌿
I am leaving the country for top surgery because of the huge barriers to gender affirming care in Aotearoa. It is nearly impossible to get publicly funded top surgery here, and going private would cost upwards of $23,000.
Unfortunately, getting this surgery and covering the associated travel costs will drain all of my savings completely. I'm asking for help to cover some or all of the surgery cost 💚
Portugal is the much more affordable and accessible choice, despite it requiring me to travel halfway around the world.
This is a really important life saving procedure for me, and I'm so grateful to be able to access it.
Anything you can contribute will help, ngā mihi nui in advance 💗
Use of funds
All funds will be used to pay for the surgery and associated medical costs, regardless of meeting the target or not.

One week on 💗 1 August 2025
Yesterday, after a week of bad sleep and uncomfortable compression, I saw my new chest for the first time.
Someone I follow recently said that when they saw their own new flat chest, it didn't feel surprising, or shocking - it felt completely natural. That is how I felt. I looked down and I thought yes, that is me. That is how it should be.
Being able to walk through the streets of Porto again, this time comfortable in my body, I feel immense gratitude to you all for your generosity. Thank you for giving me this gift that will last the rest of my life 💗
