    Story

    HELLO TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS...

    I am no good with words and have no idea how to write this, but here goes!

    For as long as I can remember, I have felt different, even now, I try to fit in everywhere I go, but Im coming to the realisation that im not meant too, it is better to be different than to just go through life pretending to be someone I am not just because that's how society says so.

    In 2019 I came out as non-binary, and made the decision to legally change my name, which has been one of the most grounding things for me, to finally match my name and gender identity to who I really am, something that, for a long time ive always been scared of just being myself.

    When i first came out as NB on social-media, to my partner, friends and family, and it was just a huge sense of euphoria, and I know that being true to myself is one of the most important things.

    My next step is top surgery, something that is essential for me, something that has played on my mind for years, and something that will make me internally happy. I have spent years trying to understand my feelings, and to finally be on the journey to surgery, its just an indescribable feeling.

    SO fast forward to now, My surgery date is 9th of march 2022, with london trans clinic. my total surgery quote is £7020, but with consultations, specailist meetings and travel I am looking at about £8000. Just like anyone else in this position, I would pay 10x that if it means finally being comfortable in my own skin.

    I have sold my soul and even climbed snowdon to raise money so far! with all of this i have managed to save/raise an amazing amount, and now only have £1550 left to pay by the end of february!

    I’ve set this up for an opportunity for anyone that wants to help, friends family strangers! whoever you may be. Wether that be words of support, spreading love and positivity or donations, but what I do want to do is be open with my journey, and spread my story and awareness that it is OK to feel this way and give you guys the chance to follow my story. my main platform is Instagram - @coltxre where I will post about my journey most of the time! but any questions feel free to ask! I’m an open book, there is nothing you cant ask. Thank you for reading and supporting me whoever you are!

    stay blessed, love from

I appreciate all the love and support over the past 2 years, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! any donations over my recovery period I will be using to pay back the last 3K, thank you all xx

      Update from the Page owner

      WE HAVE HIT 3K! Beyond thankful for almost hitting my halfway point, I honestly never expected to hit even £1000, I remember over a year ago thinking 'I'm never going to get surgery' now here we are, 3K out of 7K down, consultation paid, surgery booked, deposit paid, gender referral complete and paid. March is going to come around so quickly, whether you have donated £1 or £100 every penny helps, and this will change my life, so I'm so thankful. thank you to anyone who has supported me, or shared this, or donated!
