Request Details
I'm currently in the red and I'm going to have to essentially work a miracle to get by this month. I've provided a cost breakdown below as to what I'm requesting and for what for so you can ensure i'm not requesting anything in bad faith. Thank you.
Gas/Electric Bill: £86
Wifi Bill: £14
Phone Bill: £6
Food costs: £24
Overdraft (get out of the red): £20
Money towards helping with rent: £50
Rent is due on the 31st/1st of every month. I have yet to find out my start date for my new job, and with this deduction I will have to pay £280 for it, which is somewhat more manageable. I've had to reach out to friends already to ask for money. I'm incredibly desperate and the DAF grant rejected me and wouldn't tell me or my caseworker why. When we appealed, they said I was eligible, and has given me no real way of getting in touch with them to 1) find out what I'm eligible for, and 2) any sort of form to put in my details in.
Thank you.

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.
