Request Details
Hi there
I have my GRS set up for September 13th 2024.
I would really appreciate help with travel costs as I am struggling to afford any of it

I have chosen the cheapest hotel I can find close to the hospital at Parkside and cheapest travel (megabus) to travel up on the day before with a friend and stay at a hotel the night before the surgery as I have really bad anxiety travelling and it would really help me to be there the day before with someone.

I have included the costs for a trip via megabus on the 12th
And a hotel night on the 12th also.
I'm sorry but I would also like to include an extra £20 if I can for any tube train costs to get through London as well

Roughly I think £145 should cover it all.

I'd really appreciate the help towards these costs and if needs be I get paid on the 17th a few days after my surgery and can pay half back at least if you need me to
I just don't have anything before then.

Please let me know soon as so I can book it all

Thankyou

Abby Griffiths

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/
