Hi!

I've been using the name Arin for 3 years now, and my dead name has never felt more alien to me.

It's very jarring when I have to use it in my day to day life every time I visit the bank or doctor, transfer money for bills or book a train or plane.

I dream about seeing 'Arin' when I touch down my leap card on the bus, being called Arin by receptionists and doctors and not having to stress about explaining my chosen name, and having 'Arin' on my college graduation certificate.

I'm tight for money at the moment, and so I need a bit of help. The main costs are a new birth certificate, passport and deed poll change.

Anything you can spare at all would be so deeply appreciated. Thank you!
