Antonio's story

HRT Access Fund recipient

Antonio (he/him) has faced significant challenges accessing care while experiencing homelessness. Local providers often have waitlists that stretch on for months or are too far away to reach without reliable transportation. After only one appointment with FOLX, Antonio has had to stretch his last prescription as long as possible.

Living with disabilities and unable to work, Antonio depends on the generosity of a friend who helps cover costs when possible. Still, he dreams of securing his own stability and hopes that support for 12 months of HRT will give him the chance to move forward—finding work or financial assistance to sustain his care long term.

Antonio shared, “It would help me a lot. This support means I could focus on building a future without the constant fear of losing access to my hormones.”
