Hi everyone,
Writing this is both frightening and hopeful for me.
I am a transgender woman of African American descent, and I am finally taking the life-saving step to transition and live as my true self. This journey has taken years of courage, self-reflection, and emotional struggle — and now I am at a critical turning point.
For my safety, I have chosen to remain anonymous. Due to past threats and hostility related to both my identity and race, protecting my privacy is not just a preference — it is necessary for my well-being.
Transitioning is essential for my mental health and my future, but I am facing urgent financial barriers that I cannot overcome alone.
I truly need help right now.
Many aspects of gender-affirming care are expensive and not fully covered by insurance. Delays in treatment can have serious emotional and psychological consequences, and I am doing everything I can to move forward safely.
Your support will help cover:
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Gender-affirming medical care
• Counseling and mental health support
• Legal name and gender marker changes
• Safe housing and living expenses
• Recovery costs after procedures
Every donation — no matter the size — brings me closer to living authentically, safely, and without fear.
If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can make a life-changing difference.
Asking for help is not easy, but I believe in the kindness of people and the power of community. Your support does more than fund medical care — it tells me that my life, my safety, and my future matter.
Thank you for seeing me.
Thank you for standing with me.
Thank you for helping me become who I truly am.
With deep gratitude,
