Hi, I’m morgan  I’ve been living in my new flat now for around 2-3 months, I’m behind on my bills, I have no hot water i owe £60 as i wasn’t able to pay it as well as 1.50 on my electric, I’ve been living off  beans and bread for around 2 weeks now as i have no contact with any family, i have and receive no financial support from anyone I’m unemployed as my mental health at this moment is making it nearly impossible to get up and move, I’ve been back and fourth to the hospital with attempts and well yeah, but there’s nothing they will do I’m really struggling right now with everything in hopes that you read this would I be okay to have 90? 60 would cover my hot water, and 30 would be divided between gas 10 , 10 electric and 10 food i know it’s a lot to ask but it would really be appreciated, thank you

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
