Man, as if being a woman wasn’t difficult enough, now there’s a lady out there who was born without a vagina.
Meet 22-year-old Kaylee Moats of Gilbert, Arizona, who was born with Mayer Rokitansky Küster Hauser syndrome (MRKH), which means she has no cervix, uterus, or vaginal opening.
Moats has started a GoFundMe account in hopes of having corrective surgery so she can experience sex with her boyfriend for the first time.
Kaylee just graduated from college in May and knew it was time to get with a doctor and see what could be done. Through many hours of research and direction from the MRKH foundation, we have found two surgeons in the Atlanta area that are well equipped to help. They can perform a surgery that will create a vaginal opening, allowing Kaylee to be able to have an intimate relationship like any other woman would experience. It would give back a part of her that has been missing since birth and dramatically improve her quality of life. The surgery lasts 1-2 hrs and has a 96% success rate. As you can imagine, the whole family was very excited about this and Kaylee was ready to pursue the surgery. After a phone conference with the nurse liaison in Atlanta, we were told that the insurance companies consider this a cosmetic surgery and will not pay for it. We were crushed again as are many of the other hundreds of girls trying to get this surgery completed. We were left unsure about how to proceed, and how to pay for these expenses.
After reading through some of the MRKH blogs, many girls have been able to raise funds through a Go Fund Me page. We have decided to take this path and see what funds we are able to raise to help fulfill Kaylee’s dream. The cost of the surgery is $15,000 plus hotel, counseling and airfare to Atlanta. We would be forever grateful for anything you can donate. No amount is too small. Thank you for getting Kaylee one step closer to her goal and allowing her to have a brighter and happier future.
The GoFundMe has only been up for a few days, but Kaylee already surpassed her $15,000 dollar goal.
