Hi everyone. I am a long-time chronic homeless trans woman in my mid-30s. I have serious cognitive disabilities and have never in my life held a paying job for even a short time. It isn't funny or fun to me, UNFORCH.
At the end of the month I'm moving, and after the move I will have levels of medical access that I haven't seen in quite some time. I will be between four and six medications, for my HRT, ADHD, severe agoraphobia, and so on. I will also be pursuing dental work at least to the point of getting me out of pain if not yet able to comfortably eat, physiotherapy, and maybe some of psychotherapy.
Because I am a trans woman with immigration-related legal documentation issues, I have spent years being discriminated against by medical gatekeepers. This will no longer be a problem for me next month, but I am still potentially looking at a medication budget of like $100 a month without even getting into all the service stuff I need.
Due to discrimination as a transitioning teenager I was not able to finish high school and this has compounded a lot of my other life problems. Once I am housing-stable and capable of functioning in the real world (which I don't think will take more than a couple months, tbh) I'm going to be pursuing a university education.
This all sounds like it would be super expensive but fortunately I am soon to be in a country these things are not free, but not particularly expensive either, and I am not expecting intense institutional barriers other than the financial ones of having so many of these expenses adding up. But it is an expense. You understand.
$2000 will put me in a great position to do all of this while $1000 will get the ball rolling and every bit between here and there helps as well.
Please shovel money at me I am not really able to be humble about this right now.
