Please help me get top surgery!

Hi, my name is Sam and I am transgender but i can’t have proper top surgery due to my family situation. On top of the disphoria, the weight of my chest is causing problems with my spine and posture. I‘m in near constant pain every day.

I can‘t get gender reafirming surgery because of my parents, but because of the pain I’m in and the physical impact it’s having on my day to day life, they’ve agreed to breast reduction surgery. It’s not the same, but it’s something that will have a huge positive impact in my life.

I’m so sorry to ask, I feel terrible, but we just can’t afford it. We’re paying what we can ourselves but the cost is enormous all in. If i can’t raise the money, nothing is going to change and I desperately need the situation to improve.

I’ve tried binding but it’s deeply uncomfortable and not especially effective due to the size of my chest. And even if I can mask it a little, I still know they’re there, I can still feel them, and I can’t put into words how difficult it is to live with. I’ve tried to knuckle under and live with my lot, but I can’t do it anymore.

This means everything to me, so please, please anything at all you’d be willing to give would mean the absolute world to me. I can’t express in words how grateful I would be for any help. Even pennies makes a difference.

And if you can’t spare anything, please, please consider reblogging to help spread this around so people who can and might be willing to help could see it.

Thank you so, so much.

£10/£5000

I know it’s a lot to ask for, but the surgery is incredibly expensive.
