Help Me Pay For Lifesaving HRT

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Quentin and I am a 21 year old trans man. I have known I was trans since 2015. I have been trying to get HRT for years but the NHS waiting list is currently over six years long (the NHS clinic I have been referred to is only now getting to those referred in 2018) and I haven't gotten anywhere. I made the decision to go through a private practice for testosterone, below is a breakdown of the costs for one year:
  • £30 a month subscription,
  • £70 every ~6 weeks for a bottle of Testogel,
  • £15 every 3 months for a new prescription,
  • £58 every 3 months for blood tests,
  • £58 every 6 months for different blood tests,
  • Fees for blood tests (about £10),
  • Any other fees that may crop up, for example for catch up sessions to evaluate my treatment (£65),
  • Anything I may have forgotten when writing this.
HRT is lifesaving medication and I genuinely can't take a life without medical transition anymore. I have unfortunately upped the goal as the above costs increased since I initially made my GFM. I hope to raise enough for three years of HRT, plus my savings - however I am unable to work due to disability and I am on Universal Credit payments of £727 a month, but this also has to go to food, rent, general savings, etc. I am now on PIP, but this is mostly going towards making my life more livable - I love cooking and baking and am now able to afford the ingredients for recipes I've never been able to make before! As well as (one of the only things I am able to leave the house for) going to concerts!
Please. I hope to make my goal and if I do manage to save up and pay for it through this and my savings, eventually put any other money towards top surgery - a life saving procedure.
In a perfect world, this would easily be covered by the NHS or would be free, but it's is almost the opposite - it is becoming more dangerous to be transgender every day and I would like to get on testosterone before that becomes illegal, as is rapidly happening in the US and eventually will make its way over here.
Thank you again.
