Help Alice and Xena pay for transition and medical costs

Hello, we're Alice (22, it/she) and Xena (20, it/it's) a trans lesbian couple in Cambridge, UK. This fundraiser is a general fund to help us with costs, we are struggling massively in the face of HRT costs, prescription costs, dental bills, car repair bills, travel costs and food costs. I (Alice) had to quit my job on the railway due to mental health issues and Xena works part time, but we're struggling to access any state benefit support at this time.

Transition is expensive, especially when the NHS won't let you access it, and sourcing estrogen, progesterone and blockers is a big cost we are facing right now. We also need to buy clothes and pay for the changes to our documents (new passports are expensive!) and with our current income and savings this aren't expenses we can spare at present.

We have had issues with getting Xena's car MOT'd for the last two years, both times recieving a very large bill for repairs to get the car to pass. This has left us with basically no savings to cover emergency dental care that Alice needs, and we are looking into options for getting this done overseas as it is cheaper.

We are both polyamourous and so being able to travel to visit our other partners is something we would both like to be able to afford to do.

We are currently housed with Alice's parents, but this situation is not good for either of us as we are cramped in a tiny loft room that is not legally able to be considered a bedroom - sharing a single bed. In the medium term we hope to move to somewhere with lower costs of living and for Alice to return to employment with the right mental health support in place, which may include paying for therapy as accessing this through the NHS has been exceedingly difficult.

In the longer term, both of us hope to be able to get gender affirming surgeries and any extra money would be set aside for this or other emergency costs that come up :) thanks for taking the time to read this, we really appreciate any donations, however small, as well as sharing this fundraiser :)
