299 Dolla and 27 Days Away!

Just made my $600 second-to-last payment for my surgery! Let me reiterate: second to last. As in, my LAST payment for my surgery that is REALLY happening.

I only have 299 dollars remaining until my surgery is paid for.

I can’t believe that I’m this close. I remember not too long ago staring down the barrel of $6,000-$8,000 surgery, plus cost of board and travel. It just seemed, insurmountable to me. But through the discovery of a local surgeon and from all of the broke ass student saving up and support I’ve received, it’s really happening. I’m really $299 and 27 days away from a surgery that will positively alter my self-esteem - my life - in ways that I’ve never experienced and can barely imagine.

Wow.

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped me get to this point. All of the enthusiasm, solidarity, and support has been indescribably touching, inspiring, and… just, thank you!!

Known to them as a man, Metzler wore mascara, eyeliner and white-tipped acrylic nails to a company barbecue.

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und...
