Request Details
Hello, I am requesting this due to have a new week for 4 to 6 weeks due to  healing from  surgery I still am out of work for 4 to 6 weeks fever. I just had the £60 monthly grant and I know you guys help me a lot but I have no income. My bank is still -£70 and I’m being charged daily the £60 cover the food shop to last me. But I have no gas and electric. I do not have contact with any of my family, so I cannot have help of them. My windows have been put through whilst I was asleep. Along with the neighbours to some kids, just randomly  did  it. I have to now pay for new windows. Along with stress which is affecting my mental health drastically because I can’t pay any bills such as my phone Wi-Fi, gas and electric. And so much more. I have tried to get help of everyone and any company or charity, but nobody is willing to help. I really really really beg for some extra help to be able to get gas and electric and pay some bills. I am in a massive financial crisis due to be an hours work for nearly 3 months now with high infections complications after surgery and suffering with constant seizures I am at a loss and I need some help. And I also have three cats that I’m worried that I can’t support them because I am not in work for another 6 to couple weeks with healing.

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/
