Support Sylvan to be able to access top surgery

Kia ora e hoa mā!

I’m Sylvan, a Pākehā trans-masculine non-binary person. I’m looking to get top surgery, which is a gender affirming procedure to remove my breast tissue and create a more masculine chest. But the public health system does very few of these surgeries in Aotearoa, and going private is super expensive.

So I’m planning to head to Thailand, where costs are less than half, and the surgeons are much more experienced! But as a chronically ill person who can’t work full-time, I’m struggling to raise anything close to the amount needed, so I am doing the scary thing and reaching out to community for help. Anything you can contribute is so appreciated!
