Out of Debt and Onto HRT
Donation protected
My name is Eurydice Vesuvius and I'm a 27 year old trans man. I've been homeless and living on my friend's floor for around two weeks now, after the lease on my old apartment ended and my landlord raised the rent. I do have a possible new place lined up, but I can't move in until October, and no lease has been signed, so it's not a binding contract.
My living conditions right now suck. I sleep on a hardwood floor in an incredibly crowded storage room, with my cat crated to protect her from my friend's high prey-drive dogs. Sleeping next to the litterbox in a small, uncomfortable, poorly ventilated, crowded space is driving me insane. I'm also still dealing with an old electricity bill, a cleaning invoice, and a few other debts. I can't afford any of these. I'm way in over my head.
Prior to all of this financial hardship, I was saving money to pursue hormone replacement therapy. I wanted to be on HRT before 2022, if I could. That's not possible at all now, not on my own. The appointments aren't cheap- a few hundred dollars each -but my only other option is spending two years in the incredibly transphobic public system before *possibly* being granted hormones. Private healthcare is the only reasonable way forward if I want to get on testosterone before the year's end. And I do. I really do. I'm 27, and have spent long enough avoiding or waiting for this. I need this now. And I need help.
The money raised from this fundraiser will go towards paying off my debts, purchasing a bed and other essentials, psychiatrist and endocrinologist appointments, travel to and from, the cost of testosterone, and supporting myself while I am homeless. Please, please help me, and share this if you can. Anything you can spare means the world to me, and would go a long way to helping me get back on my feet.
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
I now have a stable home, however, the deposit for this place was almost twice what I expected it to be (around ~2200 AUD), plus the cost of the removalists and the old electricity bill I mentioned means I'm still in some pretty steep debt. I also have no furniture- still sleeping on the floor, nowhere to sit. My back and neck are really starting to hurt after two months of living like this, and I'm worried I'm doing some sort of permanent damage to myself. I still really, really need help, first and foremost to pay off my debts and get myself a mattress, before I can even think about HRT.
Please, please keep sharing and donating. I really need this help, and soon.
