Hey there! My name’s Nathan. For two years now, I’ve had steady, affordable access to HRT (hormone replacement therapy); however, I’m sure I don’t have to address the elephant in the room as to why that’s no longer going to be as easy and affordable for me now.

For me to continue receiving my testosterone treatment, and for me to continue to keep my health steady and safe, I’ll need to seek an alternative method of receiving it, which will cost around $300 to get started. Repeat expenses for hormones will be much cheaper and more manageable after this one-time expense, but that one-time expense is something I cannot afford.

In addition to it affecting my physical health, it will also end up having an effect on my mental health as well. HRT has had an immensely positive outcome on my mental health, has staved off my depression, as well as anxiety. It’s been beneficial for me medically as well as mentally! And having that cut off suddenly will surely be detrimental to my overall quality of life.

Any amount is very appreciated and will help me with the expenses of keeping up what has become a medical necessity for me. Any additional funds will go towards any and all additional requirements for my gender-affirming care (including saving up for top surgery someday!).

Thanks so much for reading! I appreciate any amount or sharing!
