Request Details
I am transgender (ftm) and am currently unable to buy a packer (a prosthetic penis). This is due to not being able to work as a result of mental illness that meant I was in hospital for years.
I am really struggling with crippling bottom dysphoria at the moment. I have an extremely cheap packer that I’ve had for years but it is falling apart and no longer does its job successfully at all.
I am going to request to be put on the list to see a lower surgery consultant but until I am seen will take years & years and I am in desperate need of something to aid the dysphoria in the mean time as it is currently severely affecting my mental health.
I have done a lot of research and found a suitable packer. With shipping the packer will cost £104.45 which I would never be able to afford myself
Getting this grant would mean so much to me and could be life changing.
Thank you so much for reading if you have made it this far.

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.
