Hi Everyone, My name is Michele and I have started a go fund me page for this amazing Human! JuJu is a co worker and a very dear friend of mine. He is on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Please help if you can. Here is his story.. Hey there Y’all! JuJu here a 32-year-old trans man on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Today, I'm reaching out with hope in my heart and a humble request for your support, as I prepare to embark on a life-changing adventure - my phalloplasty surgery. My Story: At the tender age of four, I realized my truth, I wasn’t a girl. And although back then I didn’t know what that was called I knew deep in my heart it was my truth. It took years of self-reflection and questioning my identity before I even heard the word transgender. But when I did, I knew without a doubt that was it, I was Trans. And on Valentine’s Day 2012 I took my first shot of testosterone, embarking on my transition and embracing my authentic self. With every step, I have felt the weight of societal expectations lifting, and my authentic self-shining through. The journey to self-acceptance has been both challenging and empowering, shaping the person I am today and leading me to the decision to undergo phalloplasty. The Phalloplasty Journey: Phalloplasty is a complex, multi-step surgical process, and in September I will undergo the first of four surgeries. While this journey is undoubtedly filled with hope and excitement, it also comes with significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges. That is why I am turning to the generosity of kind-hearted folks in my life to help me raise funds for various aspects of my journey. How Your Support Will Make a Difference: The funds raised through this campaign will go towards several crucial expenses, including: 1. Accommodation and Living expenses: Recover for this surgery can range anywhere from 6- 8 weeks. After surgery I may be able to stay at a nursing facility for the first 2 weeks of recovery, but I won’t know that until THE DAY OF my surgery, the 11th, so I must make other accommodations just in case. My room is in the basement and the nearest bathroom is upstairs. Walking up and down stairs multiple times a day during recovery will be very challenging, so I thought renting an Air BnB for most of my recovery would alleviate this and help me focus strictly on healing. And them puppies ain’t cheap! By helping me secure a comfortable and safe Airbnb, you will play a vital role in ensuring my peace of mind and a conducive recovery environment. Your contribution will also help me cover living expenses such as food, transportation, and medication. 2. Supplementing Income: While I have been saving diligently for this transformative journey, my income alone is not enough to cover the entirety of the expenses. Your support will help bridge the financial gap, allowing me to focus on my well-being and recovery without added stress. Join Me on This Journey: Your support, whether through a financial contribution or by sharing this campaign with your network, will mean the world to me. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to achieving my dream of living authentically and embracing my true identity. To my incredible community, my loving and supportive parents and every one of you who stand by my side, thank you. Your support love has given me the strength to embrace my truth and live fearlessly. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your love and consideration. Your kindness and generosity will empower me to embark on this life-changing journey with confidence and hope. Thank you for standing by my side and helping me make my dreams a reality. All my love, JuJu
