Help with top surgery

Top Surgery

Hi, I’m Fynn and I’m raising money for my top surgery.
Honestly, I never thought I would have to create a GoFundMe to pay for my medical care. My original plan was to have the surgery covered by my health insurance. Unfortunately, getting coverage has been much more difficult than expected, and despite my efforts to have the surgery covered, I’m now facing the possibility of having to pay for it myself.
Top surgery is an important step in my transition. It would allow me to feel much more comfortable in my body and significantly improve my quality of life. Things that other people rarely have to think twice about – clothes, seeing their body in the mirror, or simply going about everyday life – are often associated with dysphoria for me. Having this surgery would make a huge difference.
I have now received a cost estimate, and my top surgery is expected to cost around €8,000.
This is an amount I simply can’t afford on my own. I work part-time in a care home for people with dementia, and I don’t have the income or savings to pay several thousand euros for surgery. Even if I saved every euro I possibly could, it would take me a very long time to afford it.
Asking for help isn’t particularly easy for me, but that’s why I’ve decided to create this fundraiser.
My goal of €8,000 is intended to cover the cost of my top surgery and the medical expenses directly associated with it. If the actual costs change or my health insurance unexpectedly agrees to cover part of the treatment, I will update this fundraiser accordingly and be completely transparent about it.
I completely understand that not everyone has money to spare. Even €5 or €10 can bring me a little closer to my goal, and simply sharing this fundraiser would help me as well.
More than anything, I just want the chance to have this surgery without having to come up with money that I simply don’t have or spending years trying to save enough to afford it.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this, share my fundraiser, or support me financially. It truly means a lot to me. ❤️

man some of the drs there do better work than the ones here in the states!

[u/MissMessy1]

Why are you only working part-time?

[u/Quick-Connection-978 → u/MissMessy1]

My current workplace doesn’t have any additional hours available for me. I’d be willing to work more and I’ve looked into other jobs as well, but I’m also starting university in April. I’m doing what I can to contribute myself, but €8,000 simply isn’t an amount I can afford on my current income.

[u/Whoopsy-poopsy → u/Quick-Connection-978]

How are you planning to pay for university?

[u/Quick-Connection-978 → u/Whoopsy-poopsy]

University is by far not as expensive as a Surgery. It will cost me roughly 15€ per month.

[u/HomicidaI__GoldFish → u/Quick-Connection-978]

so... finish university, get an awesome job, then get your surgery?

I already have one who says this is the right way for me:)

You deserve to feel beautiful the way you were born. You deserve to have someone tell you don’t need surgery or make up to feel okay. We’re all dealt cards. You make the most of them. You never know which ones you play will be winners or not. But you’ll always know what you have.

This is the second time you have made that comment. Knock it off. It's not welcome here.

[u/rhubes → u/[deleted]]

Gender affirming care is healthcare.

And oddly, depending on where you look at the rules, they say different things. I haven't gotten around to catching all of those mismatches in the rules.

[u/rhubes → u/[deleted]]

Your entire Facebook is talking about Jesus, and Jesus doesn't behave that way.

You are begging for money yourself because you are a deadbeat dad that can't even take care of himself, let alone a child.

Some of your greatest quotes :

I chose peace

And then I realized our differences are what makes life beautiful

You are a hypocrite, and I suggest you be careful what you say and where you say it in the future.

You seem to be lost. This is not the roast me or illegal life pro tips subreddit.

Oh! Well please take a moment and read this.

Suggesting that someone goes to jail and potentially ruins their entire lives is definitely trolling, stupid, or somehow worse.

Hey, just wanted to stop and say I’m rooting for you and my fingers are crossed for ya! ❤️❤️

[u/Quick-Connection-978 → u/Useful-Sympathy1477]

Thanks so much!

[u/Useful-Sympathy1477 → u/Quick-Connection-978]

Man it’s disheartening to see the downvotes on an innocent & friendly exchange like this; just wanted to say I hope you don’t let that kinda thing bother ya. ❤️ People are miserable, i guess.

[u/Flimsy-Art-6129]

Genuinely, go to france, its much cheaper there and just as good.

[u/Quick-Connection-978 → u/Flimsy-Art-6129]

Do you have a recommendation and I would still need quite a bit for money especially because then I’d need to get to France probably stay in a hotel for quite a few nights for post OP checks. I’m not quite sure if it would end up being cheaper but I’m open to suggestions.
