Help me get to Thailand for life saving, gender affirming care :)

Wellington

Kia ora koutou!

My name is Nettle (she/her) and I need all the help I can get with affording bottom surgery! Bottom dysphoria has been a huge hindrance to me in every aspect of my life, impacting my self confidence, and self-assuredness on the day-to-day. Getting this surgery would greatly improve my life in a myriad of ways and I am asking anyone who can spare a few dollars for some help!!

I have paid the 20% deposit to finalize a date and am set to have the surgery on the 26th of June 2026 with Dr. Bank at the Suporn Clinic in Bangkok.

If I do not have the full amount when the time comes, I will need to take out a personal loan to make up the difference, so any dollar donated is a dollar less that I'll have to pay off.

Use of funds

Included in this goal are necessities for aftercare, travel expenses (plane tickets and visas), accommodation during my recovery overseas (Thailand), as well as the surgery itself which has been priced at around $35K.

And that's a wrap! 28 January 2026

I would just like to say massive thank you to everyone who donated, without all of you, I would not have been able to afford the surgical deposit, and your donations have contributed greatly to what I have saved up for the final bill. Thank you also to everyone who shared the link to direct others to my page. Y'all are amazing! 🩷😁

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. 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.
