Help with survival/transition costs

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Claire and I never really thought i'd be doing something like this but I don't know what else to do. I am a transgender woman and I have been trying to save money to have my name change and gender confirmation surgery for years now, but I am struggling to even pay the bills. I haven't even been able to have any electrolysis done in months which makes the dysphoria so much worse for me. I suffer from depression and social anxiety which has made working extremely difficult. I went from working almost full time hours down to about 4-8 hours per week. This is getting me nowhere and its only getting  worse. I live with my boyfriend who has been trying his best to keep us both afloat but we are simply digging ourselves deeper and deeper in debt. All I want is to  finally finish this horribly emotional transition and feel 100% like myself, but with how things are going I fear I will never get there. Maybe once I have my name change complete I will be able to find some better work that I can handle. I live in a small town with almost no education on trans people and its pretty scary out there when my legal name doesn't match my gender. I know its a long shot to even attempt something like this but like I said I am completely desperate and willing to try anything. I understand most of you are living your own lives with your own hardships but if anyone has anything they can spare I will be eternally grateful for any help. I have been such a burden on my loved ones who want nothing more than to see me succeed, and I hope to one day pay them back for all the help they have tried to give even though they aren't having it all that easy themselves. 

Thank you!

-Claire
