Request Details
Hi there,

I’m currently facing a financial emergency. I don’t have enough money to cover the full amount of my rent. The payment is 350 and I have 317 in my bank account. Also, I’m about to run out of gas on my meter, and I need 40 to cover me for the coming month. 

I’m already considerably in arrears on my rent and have quite a hostile landlord. I really cannot afford to get into more debt with him
And I’m concerned about my living arrangement if I were to do so. 

Please see images attached.

I’m asking for an amount of £73.00 - £33 to make up a full rents payment and £40.00 to cover my gas meter for the coming month. 

Are you please able to help? 
£73.00 GBP

Total amount £73.00 GBP

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
