<div><strong>Summary</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm a trans woman in Pakistan-administered Kashmir who needs help in leaving this country and transitioning in peace abroad. I'm training to be a doctor but saving enough money to leave is a gigantic task, and I will need help. Thank you for reading.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who am I?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello. My name is Sana and I'm a 25 year old trans woman from the disputed region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. I'm a medical student about to graduate to being a doctor in about half an year's time. In my spare time, I love reading, writing, and doing some art. I mostly present as male in my day-to-day life, except with people who know I am trans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I am asking for help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is tough for me to do. I'm not used to asking for help. Everything I've done and accomplished has been of my own hard work. But when I look at what the future holds for me, I have no choice but to ask for your help so I can live the life that I want. Living in Pakistan is incredibly harsh for women. Pakistan ranks 148th out of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report. And things get worse when you're trans like me. Most trans women are unable to land work and are forced to work as prostitutes / dancers. I'm about to graduate and would love to begin my transition formally, but this would make it impossible for me to fulfill my dream of working as a doctor. And this has made me realize that I need to move abroad. I've looked into a handful of countries and have settled for Germany, since it is friendly to queer people and I can live my life freely while being able to practice medicine. I'm in the process of learning German, but the only real roadblock that exists is money. I simply do not have the funds to be able to pay all the licensing fees and the airport tickets. I would not even be able to land in Germany because I wouldn't have enough money to be able to pay for myself while I look for a job.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why can't I just live my life as a man?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would love to live my life free of troubles if only if it was possible to do so. I experience what is termed as gender dysphoria. It is like having dysmorphia, but for your gender. To give you the clearest way to imagine it, all you have to do is to think about waking up one day as your opposite gender. This change won't be for one day,or one month or even one year. Its permanent. This is what trans people have to go through every day. The discordance that occurs because your mind and body are different is severely debilitating. In no life can I think of living as a man, because that is simply not who I am.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What kind of life do I want?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ideal life for me is a life where I can live as who I want without risking my life every day. I want to be a doctor in an environment that values me and in turn I'd like to help the people who need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Expenses</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'd like to make an outline of how much money I'll need, and where each and every penny you donate will end up in supporting my journey. All amounts are in usd.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>- Approbation application &amp; credential assessment 250
</div>
<div>- Visa + VFS/biometrics 130
</div>
<div>- Travel insurance 100
</div>
<div>- Flight to Germany 800
</div>
<div>- Apartment deposit + first month's rent 3,300
</div>
<div>- Residence permit 120
</div>
<div>- Health insurance (6 months) 1,200
</div>
<div>- Living expenses (rent, food, transport, phone, misc. for remaining 5 months) 8,000
</div>
<div>- FSP exam 650
</div>
<div>- Berufserlaubnis (temporary licence, if issued) 150
</div>
<div>- Kenntnisprüfung 1,000
</div>
<div>- Miscellaneous (bank fees, certified copies, postage, etc.) 300
</div>
<div>Estimated Total: ≈ $16000 USD
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had to google extensively to figure these costs out, so they may be slightly up or down. Most of them are from official figures and internet discussions based on people living in Germany.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would also like to give some perspective here. Working as a medical officer (a junior doctor in Pakistan), I could reasonably earn $250 per month. I could maybe save $100 after my expenses. After a whole year of working extreme hours, all I'll have to my name is $1200. Making the necessary amount to be able to immigrate then would be nearly impossible for me without help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don't intend on asking you to fund my entire journey. I currently do a freelancing job while studying, and by my estimates, I could amass about $6000 in 3 years by combining my work as a doctor with it (I graduate in spring 2027, and will have a job soon after). I would be so grateful if the remaining amount could be filled by you, even if it is only a penny. This financial burden is currently the biggest thing on my mind, and having it eased would feel so comforting. I'd be able to relax for a long while and focus on my training.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why you can trust this fundraiser</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Understandably, I won't be able to post pictures of myself because of the significant personal risk attached to it. But by every other metric, I intend to keep this page transparent so you can actively keep track of where the money is going and what I am spending it on. And if costs change at any point, I will update the page accordingly. Any funds that are sent here will be used for my relocation as I've outlined above. Every penny will be accounted for personally by me, as my only goal is to leave this country in peace.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. As I've said, I intend to keep this page as transparent as it can be. Thank you for taking your time reading this. Even if you don't donate, just spreading the word would be immensely beneficial. And to all my donors, I am forever grateful to you. &lt;3
