I need some help funding my top surgery.

Nationwide

I've recently come out as NonBinary! But as I am a student, I need a little bit of help funding my top surgery. I have been wanting to get top surgery since before I knew it was possible, and now that I'm open about my gender, I finally feel confident enough to go ahead with it.

I feel super uncomfortable leaving the house without wearing a binder, which has potential dangers (such as chronic back pain, breathing difficulties, and rib damage). But I wear this binder to help with my body dysmorphia, which I struggle with everyday.

Although a binder can help me feel more confident, it also restricts me from doing things such as swimming, going to the gym, or exercising due to the breathing restrictions. It is just a temporary solution to my problem.

Getting this surgery would be life changing for me and make me feel more like the gender I am.

Use of funds

The money will all go towards the surgery, hospital bills, medications from the surgery, etc. Any leftover money will be donated to someone elses top surgery to help them
