2019 Annual Transgender Surgery Fund: First Round of Recipients Awarded $39,100

Congratulations to Brandon, D., Addison, Charissa, and Kalen.

Together, they have been awarded $39,100 in financial assistance towards their gender-affirming surgeries! Each of them has received enough funds to help them fully reach their respective surgical expenses so that they can receive care.

Meet the Recipients:

• Brandon C. from Idaho
• D.
• Addison S. from Indiana 
• Charissa H. from Pennsylvania
• Kalen M. from Indiana

Because of the larger-than-expected number of applications, our volunteer team is still closely working with a few remaining finalists in order to connect more folks to care. Therefore, we will be announcing additional recipients for the 2019 cycle in the coming weeks – stay tuned!

We will accept applications for the 2020 cycle beginning November 1. Learn more about the program or make a donation to help change the lives of future recipients.
