5 | Travel and Accomodation to Vancouver | $2000-$3000 | Accessing this gender affirming care in Vancouver was not my selected location. I would have prefered to stay in Calgary to limit flying risk, complications and the additional cost barriers associated with travelling. That being said, I was informed that I could not access top surgery in the Province that I could get it publically funded. {Please note: I have been on the waitlist for public funding for nearly two years and have yet to have a consult, it can take up to 5 years and there was no information on waitlist times available leading me to eventually take the private route and ask for community support}. Any funds raises here will go to travel and accomodations until the first follow up appointment is completed. | 8/1/2025 | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | TOTAL PROJECTED NECESSARY COSTS | Ranges: $12,285 to $13,485 | Give Back Commitment: Any amount of funds raised between this amount that I do not use will be invested back to the Queer and Trans community through donation to programs and other top surgery fundraisers to decrease the barriers for folks to access life saving gender affirming care. | 7/15/2025 |
