Hi,
I'd like to apply for a grant to help with my top surgery recovery costs.
I'm scheduled for top surgery on October 16th in Hull. I live in Swansea. I've paid out for travel and accommodation for the pre-op and the procedure and to stay local for some recovery time (11 days) as well for a friend to stay with me for a few days. Obviously this has added up!
I'm not able to work due to my mental health and I currently live on Universal Credit and Pip. I've managed so far by basically neglecting my other bills, including my rent (with landlord consent) but these will need to be caught up. As you can see, any help will be a massive help and will reduce my stress levels and help me to afford decent food etc. while I recover.
I will be claiming travel costs back from the nhs.

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.
