Hello, I am currently living in supported temporary emergency accommodation in the Caerphilly area. Currently, I am having a lot of problems paying my rent arrears (£850) due to struggling with my mental health. I am worried about being evicted before I'm moved to my permanent hosuing. Due to having to catch up on my rent arrears, I haven't had enough funds to access my hormone therapy appointments, leaving me behind on my T shots. I am estranged from my family in England due to my unsupportive mum. I often don't have enough money to eat so going back to college in September feels impossible, as my mental health keeps declining. I am trying my hardest to access support and get to medical appointments but my lack of funds are always causing me to fall behind. I am currently awaiting an Autism assessment and trying to apply for P.I.P with my support worker but the wait times are long. My phone has broken so I struggle to contact anyone. This has left me feeling alone and isolated. I'm also waiting for an autism assessment which I will struggle to get to. I've just got out of an abusive relationship and my ex partner is being very unfair and leaving me with nothing. My childhood cat died recently so I had many vet and cremation expenses. I was in college but with all these obstacles my mental health just keeps spiraling.

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.
