Request Details
Hello,
Currently I am living in temporary supported accommodation in the Caerphilly area. Recently, I've been going through financial hardship due to having to catch up on rent arrears and big costs such as vet bills and fixing my phone. Over the past year, I've struggled with being able to afford to attend medical appointments which has lead me to being off my hormone thepry for alnost a year, and I've had health complications due to this. I have limited contact with my family in England due to a relationship breakdown between my mother and I, and they do not support me financially. I've also recently got out of an abusive relationship and am finding it very hard to manage my funds and mental health efficiently. If my grant requested is accepted, I will purchase food and attend up coming medical appointments to restart my hormone therapy.

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.
