Jess's Top surgery

Hey Im Jess, Im 19 from New Zealand and I am needing some extra support with finding funds for my surgery.

For a long time, Since about the age of 10 I’ve been struggling with gender dysphoria, and it’s now reached a point where surgery is necessary. Living like this is drastically affecting my daily life more than I can manage on my own.

This is something I have always struggled with greatly wether its feeling like I dont fit in or struggling to face my anxiety with everyday activities like just getting dressed. It comes with much frustration not being able to be your authentic self and I am sick of having to live like this.

Top Surgery wait times in New Zealand are outrageous and can pile up to be 13 Years on a list or more. This is unacceptable to anyone in NZ. This is not an option I can hold onto any longer.

Being able to get this surgery would genuinely be life changing. Imagining a future were I am comfortable in my own body and not having to avoid mirrors wherever I go sounds amazing. I want to be able to go swimming, try on new clothes withought melting down over what my body looks like. Truley be able to embrace myself.

Any support whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page would mean the world to me. It would bring me one step closer to getting the care I need and being able to live more comfortably in my body.

Thankyou.
