I’m a trans boy, and I’m starting this fundraiser because school has become a very difficult and painful place for me. Instead of feeling safe and supported, I’ve faced bullying, exclusion, and constant stress simply for being who I am. Every day, I try to stay strong, but it’s been really hard on my mental health and my ability to focus on learning. I love learning and I want to succeed in school, but the environment I’m in now makes that feel almost impossible. I’ve tried to push through, hoping things would get better, but over time it’s become clear that staying here isn’t safe or healthy for me. Changing to a new school—one that is more inclusive and supportive of LGBTQ+ students—would give me the chance to start fresh. It would mean learning in a place where I can focus on my education instead of worrying about being judged or hurt. Unfortunately, transferring schools comes with costs like enrollment fees, uniforms, and transportation, and my family and I can’t afford it on our own. I’m asking for help so I can move to a school where I feel accepted, respected, and safe. Every donation, no matter how small, helps bring me closer to a future where I can learn, grow, and be myself without fear. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me. With gratitude, Jaden

Hi, my name is Jayden I am a young trans adult who just turned 17 who faced difficulties from a young age and I’m starting this fundraiser because I’m at a turning point in my life and doing everything I can to move forward. This fundraiser represents my debut into a new chapter — one where I’m choosing growth, responsibility, and change. Over time, I’ve faced financial struggles that have left me carrying debt, which has made it difficult to fully focus on my education and personal development. Despite this, I haven’t given up on the vision I have for my future. I’m raising funds to support my education, personal growth, and to help relieve the debt that’s holding me back. Education is my path toward stability and independence, and clearing this financial burden would allow me to focus on learning, improving myself, and building a future based on opportunity rather than survival. The funds raised will go toward education-related expenses, essential living support, and paying down my existing debt, giving me the chance to start again with clarity and purpose. Asking for help is not easy, but I believe that change begins with honesty. Every contribution, no matter the size, represents belief in my effort to become a better person and create a meaningful future. Thank you for reading my story, for sharing it, and for supporting me in any way. Your kindness truly helps me take the next step forward. With deep gratitude, Jayden
