Request Details
Hi, not sure if you can see my request from before and the attached medical letters. I had top surgery 3 months ago, in Torquay in Devon. I had an infection following and persistent seroma and scared cording in my left armpit. I've had extended time off work, my sick pay allowance ran out and I'm still not back in work full time. I've got another follow up appointment with Dr Oliver next week which means travelling from Cardiff to Devon again so I'm applying as currently have very little money to make this journey

Please make sure you type your full name and not just an initial. For example ‘John Smith’ instead of ‘J Smith’.
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.
