Ko Ricky Toku ingoa

I am a young man wanting to get my top surgery done, as this has been a goal of mine since my early teens.

I have been rejected four times through the public health system. This has caused my dysphoria to get worse, as when I go into stores, I am immediately misgendered by people seeing my chest, as I am a bigger guy. It makes it hard for me to pass as a male, despite my facial and body hair being very visable, so this surgery will save my life.

Over sometime not being able to get this surgery has impacted my life through my mental, physical, emotional and spritual well being .

I've been transitioning from Female to Male since age 4 years old and began taking hormone treatments since 2020.

I was very fortunate in 2022 to have a total laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure done.

I would apperciate some support to fund this, as it would be life changing for me and greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go towards my top surgery operation. If I don't reach my goal, I will add to what is raised so I can get the surgery.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
