Every day feels like a battle just to get out of bed. I look in the mirror and see someone I don’t recognize—someone I’ve never felt connected to. The disconnect between my body and who I am inside is exhausting, and it’s taken a huge toll on my mental health. I’ve tried to stay strong, but the truth is, I’m struggling.
What I need most right now is the chance to start my transition, to finally feel at home in my own skin. Gender-affirming surgery isn’t just something I want—it’s something I need to survive. But it’s expensive, and I can’t afford it on my own. I’m asking for help because this is the first real step toward healing, toward peace, and toward the life I’ve been fighting so hard to live.
