Ay! My name is Beck, but everyone calls me Brad. I was born August 29th, 1994. Which makes me 26 years old. I came out being Transgender right before I turned 18 during my senior year of high school. I was blessed to have support from my class mates, friends and family. I knew starting my process would take time but also financially play a part as well. Sense turning 26 I no longer have private insurance. I have state insurance. sense I've been on hormones for about 9 years now, i think it's time to start getting serious with my top surgery. It's something I've wanted sense I started developing breasts if I'm being honest here. I have looked into different surgeons, based off the outcome of some friends within the community and how their surgery turned out. based off my research and consultations any surgery no matter who it's done by or what state that surgeon is in, all range from $4,000 up to around $10,000. This is the first time I've done anything like this. I think getting chest surgery will make a huge impact on my mental health, as many may not understand how the two can interlink. For myself it is holding me back in a way. That's how it feels currently. I do not share about any of this , not as much as I should at least. It bothers me way more then I like to admit, I've been told by multiple people to create a fundraiser just explaining about what it is, what it's for, and how it affects me. This surgery is a dream of my mine that I honestly kind of gave up on within the last 5 years. It just felt like it wasn't achievable so I brushed it off like it didn't matter and rarly brought it up after that. I want to work my ass off to save up what I can, in order to make this dream . A reality. if anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to contact me at any time. anything helps , even if it's $1, and if your not in a place to help donate . That is okay too. I understand especially right now, everyone is hurting. I want to personally thank everyone that took the time to read all of this. it really means so much to have the support from you all. without y'all.... I wouldn't be the man I am today. My goal and plan, is to save up enough money to set up a consult with a surgeon by next summer to plan my top surgery. So if all goes as planned. Hopefully everything will be said and done within a year from now. Fingers crossed.
