Support Jessica’s Gender-Affirming Care

My name is Jessica, and I’m raising funds to support myself as I navigate a challenging period as a trans person. Access to gender-affirming care is essential for my well-being, but the costs are high and not fully covered by insurance. On top of these medical expenses, I’m struggling to cover basic living costs like rent, food, and transportation. Financial instability has become a daily reality, made even harder by discrimination in employment and housing.

A recent turning point for me was having to choose between paying for my hormone prescription and covering part of my rent. I ended up rationing my medication just to stay housed, which took a toll on my mental and physical health. I’ve also been passed over for jobs after disclosing that I’m trans, which has added to the emotional and financial strain. These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re part of a larger pattern that many trans people face.

This fundraiser is my way of getting back on stable ground, prioritizing my health, and continuing to advocate for trans rights from a place of safety. Your support will make a real difference—not just in helping me survive, but in giving me the chance to thrive and raise awareness for the ongoing needs in our community.
