Hi friends, I’m reaching out with a deeply personal request as I prepare for my final gender corrective surgery, scheduled for November 4th. This is a huge milestone for me after years of navigating healthcare, advocacy, and personal growth. For those who don’t know me well, my name is Anastasia. I’ve been deeply involved in supporting trans and queer communities through various projects, including Flying Over Walls and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, and Critical Resistance. Now, I’m asking for a bit of support for myself as I take this next step in my journey. In addition to financial help for covering costs like post-surgical care, transportation, and ongoing medical needs, I’ve also set up a care calendar. This is where you can sign up to offer meals, check-ins, or any other forms of support while I’m recovering. Your support—whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or offering some of your time—means more than I can express. It will help ease the financial burden and, just as importantly, provide me with the care and community I need to heal well. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your generosity and love mean the world to me. With gratitude, Anastasia
