Request Details
Hello TAC, 

We truly apologies for once again asking for your aid. We just recieved our Internet bill, and we are already struggling this month for living costs. 

I got paid at the beginning of the month, but  I am currently supporting Oscar while we wait for his Student Loan. So after rent, bills and essential, we are already a little low. 

I currently am trying to promote candle commisions on Doe and Wolf  while also working full time, but this grant would help so much! 

I have attached a photo of our bill along with my current bank account status. 

(Also to add - Oscar and I are going away in a few weeks to see some friends, our travel was paid for months ago. We understand any grant money is for esstials, and will only be use for helping us pay this bill and for food this month, and will be used appropriately.)

((Sorry again for all of this, I am always very anxious asking for help! Thank you so much, all the best!!))

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/
