Please help me get top surgery to help with my gender dysphoria.

Wellington

Kia ora!

I'm Riley, and I identify as trans and non-binary. Figuring out my gender has been a journey for the past few years, and I'm sure this won't be the end - but it will be a pretty big step towards feeling happier in my body.

There is very little funding for gender-affirming surgery in New Zealand, and I can't afford to wait years and years on a tragically long list. It's cheaper to have the surgery in Thailand than to pay for a private surgeon here, so that's what I'm trying to do. Aiming to be able to do it in April 2025.

If you have anything you can spare to help me on my journey I would be deeply grateful <3

Use of funds

To pay for my surgery and related medical costs. If I don't have enough before my ideal date, I'll keep saving until I do.
