Help Lynn Get GAHT

Hi! This is my GoFundMe for telehealth visits and lab tests for gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) which is also known by the more general name of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

 

Background Story

 

Growing up in rural areas that have no visible LGBTQ organizations and a constant threat of violence—then going through college, work, and medical offices that only mention the existence of lesbian and gay members of the community—didn't offer many opportunities to learn about my own gender identity.

 

I again live in a rural city with few resources, because it's what my family can afford. Healthcare across the entire region of the Southeast is also becoming increasingly scarce. However! Virtual care using the informed consent model for hormone therapy is available. They offer telehealth.

 

Funding Purpose

 

My household is what's called "underinsured". Insurance won't cover the consult visits and is unlikely to cover any blood tests the doctor requires. While I should be able to cover the medicine (testosterone) through the year, the doctor and lab appointments would be too much on my own.

 

Other methods for dealing with gender presentation bring relief but aren't enough. Waiting for GAHT is getting harder the more I research what's available. Hormone therapy could change my life in the best ways.

Any donation amount is welcome.
