Meet Azrael

Azrael (he/him) has been trying for years to access hormone therapy but faces multiple barriers: no insurance, no local affordable providers, and long, costly travel to clinics that offer care. He supports household needs like groceries, rent, and gas, leaving no room in his budget for medical visits, medication, or even a new binder. When he did have coverage, local doctors still wouldn’t provide HRT, so every attempt to start felt blocked.

These access issues have taken a heavy toll on Azrael’s mental health. Beginning treatment would relieve a core source of his dysphoria and help him move forward. He shared, “It would practically restart my life to start HRT.”

With consistent care, Azrael hopes to stabilize his mental health and regain the energy to pursue work, community, and the life he’s been trying to build.
