Ways to give from Italy
- Fund intersex corrective surgery from ItalySurgery was done on me as an infant before I could consent. The corrective care my clinicians call medically necessary is not covered by any insurer or public fund. Your gift pays for theatre time, anaesthesia and the hospital stay.
- Stand with intersex bodily autonomy from ItalyNon consensual surgery on intersex infants is still legal in most countries. I grew up inside a decision that was never mine. Giving here funds my own corrective care and makes that story impossible to ignore.
- Pay for recovery and aftercare from ItalySurgery is one day. Recovery is months of medication, dressings, follow up appointments and travel. This is the part that quietly bankrupts people and the part no funder wants to carry.
- Stop medically necessary care becoming debt from ItalyI am in the Dutch healthcare system and receiving ongoing care, but the corrective surgery itself has no funder. Without donations it becomes personal debt for care that clinicians already called medically necessary.
