Help w/ ongoing health costs
Donation protected
Hi, Thank you for reading my story. My name is Kayleigh, I am an Autistic trans woman from Australia. While some basic doctors and hormones & blockers are subsidised by the government, other things I've begun to need like physiotherapy, psychology, psychiatry, and further transition costs like facial hair removal, and surgical options are not covered at all or covered very poorly. With my ongoing medical and mental health needs increasing, transition had kind of become a secondary concern, and as my only income is the government welfare payment of Disability Support Pension this is either can be a real struggle or just plain impossible to afford. Especially on top of my other bills and expenses. I began my transition back in 2010 and I've been stubbornly trying to manage on my own. I did start this fundraiser over two years ago when I realised I needed some help to manage my costs, but I let it fall by the wayside for a long while, falling back on my stubborn determination to go it alone. But with the increasing medical/mental health stuff, it's becoming harder to do that alone.
