Support trans person Shomudro to access gender affirming care and cover the costs of undergoing top surgery

Mount Roskill, Auckland

Kia ora e te whānau:)

I have the honour to help raise funds for my beloved best friend Shomudro to access top surgery. Top surgery is a gender affirming procedure to remove breast tissue and create a flat chest. There is a long waitlist to get top surgery through the public system and going private is really expensive. As a trans person, Shomudro being able to access top surgery will have a hugely positive impact on their life, however because it is so expensive they are taking the step to reach out to community for help!

They will be having their surgery in Thailand where costs are less than half and the surgeon is incredibly experienced. However this means there will be additional costs to cover such as flights, accomodation and travel insurance.

Shomudro works as a trans peer support worker so obviously isn't working a highly paid job, so any support at all is so so appreciated!

Use of funds

Funds raised will be used to cover the costs of top surgery, flights, accommodation and travel insurance. All funds raised will go towards this regardless of meeting the goal

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.
