Help Claire Back on Her Feet

Donation protected
10/14/19: Goal increased from $8000 to $11000 due to late fees.



Hello, I'm Claire, a 26 year old Black trans woman from Detroit. I made this GoFundMe page a little over a year ago after being discharged from the hospital with about $4000 in bills (closer to $5000 now with late fees), new diagnoses, and none of the support my employer had promised me before I was admitted to the hospital. Around the same time, I received a letter from my health insurer rescinding previously agreed to coverage for the chondrolaryngoplasty (better known as adam's apple removal or tracheal shave) surgery I had in 2017, a bill that now totals around $6000 with late fees. I have since been blackballed out of my full time job and don't have many prospects for making money right now; I'd like to focus on my art and freelancing, but with less than enough money to make ends meet, any resources I would be able to put toward monetizing my craft is saved for bills and only the most necessary living expenses. Even getting the therapy I was told I would need after being discharged or getting a cavity filled at the dentist is a luxury I haven't been able to afford for some time. Being able to pay off these medical expenses would be a good start at getting back on my feet. Any help is much appreciated.
