Binder Swap Program

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mason i’m a transgender male from ontario, and i’m trying to start a nonprofit business/ charity for people who cannot buy their own chest binders. For those who don’t know, chest binders are worn by tran-mascs, non-binary people, and many others. They are used to compress the chest to create a more flat looking appearance. For many people, a binder can help them to feel more confident and can improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unable to get a binder for many different reasons. a few of these reasons include, price. good quality binders are often quite expensive and lot of people are unable to afford them. Another reason why a lot of trans youth are unable to get binders is that their parents won’t let them. It is a harsh reality, that a lot of trans youth do not have supportive parents and can’t buy a binder in fear of getting kicked out. Trans youth who do not have access to a binder often turn towards unsafe binding methods which can cause serious health issues in the future. My goal is to provide these people with a binder that fits them and that they feel comfortable in. My packaging is all completely discreet so that they won’t have to worry about parents finding out. It is my responsibility as someone who has had the privilege of acceptance to help those in my community who are not as fortunate. My goal is to have all binders be completely free for those who need it, but in order to do that i need help. I am accepting both binder donations and money donations of any size. I will use all money that is donated towards shipping the binders and even buying people completely new binders. Every donation helps
