Hi! I'm making this page to help gather support for Dan as they prepare for their big day and recovery. We deserve to pursue affirming care and to recover with our community, helping out and showing up where we can for one another! Dan is looking for some help in the form of meals (cooked with love or gift cards or take out) and help with post-op care. Without getting into details, they will need some day-to-day help with food, hygiene, house upkeep, etc - minimal responsibility, but it will be important for them to have at least one more able-bodied human to help out with these things. Post-op, they won't be able to raise their arms or reach (think T-rex mobility!) and will likely be in pain. Will you be around March 24th-April 3rd? This is roughly the time frame they will need support, the few weeks or so post op. Wanna drop off some snacks or drinks? Got a favorite dish you like to make? Wanna pick a date to get Dan a meal delivered? Got some time to stop by their place and see how they're doing, or do some laptop work with them while they recover? Dan has also been on a waiting list to receive gender-affirming care and Previously, insurance would have covered some of the costs of the surgery, but we are unsure with the current state of things if any or all of the funds will be covered at all now that the Georgia Senate passed a bill to ban gender-affirming care. Dan has some money saved up and will be working until the day prior to surgery but needs support with funding to offset their recovery costs and paying for the costs of the surgery since they will not be able to work for well over a month while they are recovering. We considered postponing, but we don't think it's wise to push the surgery back further considering we are unsure how the climate may change in the upcoming months or years. We want to help Dan move towards safety as quickly as possible, so if you can support in any kind of way, Dan would be greatly appreciative of the much-needed community care during this time! If you can support Dan financially to help offset the costs of surgery the GOFUNDME page will be linked below! Thank you so much for your support, and may we all thrive through this together with the help of each other <3 Donations through Venmo and paypal are also welcome!
