Moe's Top Surgery Fund

Hello, my name is Moe. I'm transgender and have struggled with my gender identity my entire life. The moment I found out top surgery was an option, I knew it was something I needed. When I moved out at 18 I started the journey to get it. I tried to go through the public system as I don't have the money to go privately, but unfortunately that option is now looking very unlikely. 2 years ago I was referred onto the public waitlist and after 14 months I had my first appointment. I did a readiness assessment and psychological evaluation, my psychologist personally wrote a letter recommending me for surgery. I had to fly to Wellington as I was staying in Dunedin at the time but when I got there they told me they'd cancelled my appointment. I managed to get an appointment eventually but since then my appointments have been cancelled/rescheduled 7 times, once leading me to have to couch surf for 2 weeks. After 2 years of waiting I just received a letter saying they can't put me on the list for surgery because "I'm not severe enough." I scored the highest possible mark on the mental health priority test, but because it doesn't technically effect my physical health there is no way I'll ever be "serious enough" to qualify and they're no longer even accepting new refeerals. I'm devastated. My dysphoria is really intense and I don't know how to get through this. My only hope is to go privately, but I just don't have the money. Any little bit helps, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
