2022/2023 page update
14 November 2025Its been a while since this page was active, I wanted to take a moment to update you on how these funds were used, and how things are going with me.
I unfortunately didn't meet my surgery goal of rasing 30k.
I had said I'd "save what I did raise till I manage to save the rest”, however I have actually used these funds for other transitions related bills that came up between when this page closed and now.
Donations from this page were used to help me buy new chest binders, cover ongoing doctor visits, and medication.
While this use isn't exactly what I'd said, I hope using the funds to still assist with my transition needs is acceptable to the wonderful donors who supported me.
So, how are things going now?
I am still trying to raise money for my chest surgery, and have started a new page (https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/jacobs-surgery)
This page didn't get me to the goal, but as my first fundraising attempt it did help me understand the process, and ensure I clearly state everything moving forward.
