Request Details
I've received the date for my top surgery (after several year of waiting) but am currently facing financial difficulties in my personal life and the hospital my appointment is at (london) is very far from my home in North Wales. It's been recommended that I and my mum stay in a nearby hotel for at least 9 nights to allow for complications and to be near for the 1 week checkup given where it is this comes out to be quite expensive and with the appointment being in January we do not have much time to try to gather the funds required. I know its a high expense so any help is very appreciated!

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.
