Grant #227387 to Trans Aid Cymru

a wheelchair

Rejected
Grant #227387

Submitted by River scurlock

Nov 8, 2024

Request Details
The wheelchair I am hoping to receive funding for is one that offers both support and flexibility—qualities essential for enabling me to engage in daily activities and community life. Such a wheelchair would make a tangible difference in my life, granting me the ability to move independently, leave my home more comfortably, and pursue work, education, and social opportunities without the intense pain and fatigue that currently limit me. In effect, this grant would not just support my immediate health needs but would enhance my overall wellbeing.
I fully understand that funds may be limited, and I would be grateful for consideration when any additional resources are available. I am hopeful that, in time, my application can be revisited if there is the possibility for grant funding.
Thank you for considering this request. I am immensely grateful for any assistance in making my dream of a more mobile, fulfilling life a reality.

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/
