Hello, this is Estelle Jones. I am a 23 year old transwoman and am needing financial support during a difficult time. I have known that I am a woman for most of my life now, but only had the courage to start living true to myself at the start of 2022. However, this year has come with some financial difficulties. Family issues and a traumatic event early in the year has left me currently unable to work as I focus on bettering my mental health. However, this has left me struggling to fund myself, which has left the idea of GRS feeling impossible. This is why I am turning to you all for help. Undergoing this surgery will be nothing but beneficial to myself and will go a long way to help me in ways that I cannot even begin to express. It will improve my quality of living tenfold, and will truly remove so much stresses from my life.
There are multiple steps that are needed for me to go through in order to get the surgery, and the money donated will allow me to get to this. What each tier will provide me is the following; $200 - Private Health Care. I need to hold silver level hospital cover for 12 months with AHM or similar PHI. $450 - Initial consultation with surgical specialist. $900 - For follow up consultation expenses. $3400 - For an assistant needed with the surgery. $7300 - For an anesthetist. $27 300 - For surgical costs.
This is all subject to change by time I can undergo it, but this is the current perimeters. The donation is set at $30 000 just in case it ends up being more expensive than planned.
Words truly cannot express my gratitude to all of you, even if it is just a dollar, that dollar means everything to me. I will be contributing to my fundings at the best of my ability as well! So thank you for your support, no matter how big or small.
