Support My Journey

If my story has resonated with you, there are ways you can help.

My transition is deeply personal, but some parts of the journey also carry very real financial costs. I am working towards those needs myself while also making it possible for anyone who would like to help to do so securely.

There is absolutely no obligation to contribute. Reading my story, following the journey, sharing it with someone who may understand, or simply offering encouragement all matter to me.

For those who would like to contribute financially, I have two established fundraising campaigns. Both support the same broader goal: helping me meet the costs associated with gender-affirming care and the steps still ahead.

Where support helps

Helping make the next steps more achievable.

Contributions towards my journey help with the costs of gender-affirming healthcare and the practical steps that come with transition. These can include medical consultations, hormone treatment and monitoring, hair removal, other gender-affirming care and, ultimately, gender-affirming surgery.

I will continue working towards these goals myself. The campaigns are simply there for anyone who would like to help make those goals a little more achievable.

Other ways to help

Support does not have to be financial.

Sharing my story with someone who may connect with it can be just as valuable. If you would like to help in that way, you can share the main website so they can explore the journey in their own time.
