I’d like to thank each and every one of you for supporting my campaign in any way you could. The surgery costs 10,200 Turkish Liras- TL- (Op Dr. Ergin Er- Istanbul Aesthetics Center- 2021) and it roughly equals 1260 USD. Since Paypal is not allowed in my country, gogetfunding.com will also cut 2.9% off of the accumulated money. Upon these details, I’m thrilled to inform you that my campaign is going pretty strong with 61% of it covered so far.

Here’s the thing though, I wasn’t even expecting this much. At some point, I was more interested in your emotional support and that feeling of validation and being loved. I know and I’ve noticed that some of you have donated money even if you yourselves have financial hardships. I cannot stress this enough but THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

I’ve never felt this much loved in my entire life. Throughout my teenage years, I assumed that people didn’t like me and pitied me because of my appearance and queerness. That’s why now this campaign means more than just financial support. I wish you knew how I feel, but I am responsible to relay the incredible amount of gratitude of the 12-year-old-me who thought they were always going to feel alone.

I feel so lucky that our paths have crossed somehow!

Here's a pic with my amazing brother. He shares my feelings about you all.
