Support Lilly Maphalala

Hi 🤍 I’m sharing something very personal, but important to me. I’m a trans girl, and over the past few months I’ve struggled deeply with my body and my transition, especially because I haven’t been able to afford my hormones consistently. This has affected my mental health and how I see myself every day. I’m working toward getting a medical procedure called bilateral orchidectomy (testicle removal surgery), which will help reduce testosterone in my body and allow me to continue my transition in a more sustainable way. This is not an easy decision, but it’s one I’ve thought about deeply. At the same time, I’m trying to rebuild my life — looking for online work, creating digital projects, and working toward financial stability. But right now, I can’t do this alone. If you’re able to support me in any way — through a small donation, sharing this message, or connecting me to opportunities — I would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to feeling at home in my body. Thank you for reading, for understanding, and for supporting my journey 🤍
