Ember's story

HRT Access Fund recipient

Ember (he/they) lives in Idaho, where clinics providing HRT are hard to come by. Without access to Medicaid and unable to qualify for SSI or SSDI, Ember has faced ongoing challenges in securing both financial stability and affirming healthcare. Chronic health concerns have added to the difficulty, as they are still searching for answers and a clear diagnosis.

Ember shared, “I’ve been trying to figure out what my chronic issues actually are, but I haven’t been able to find an answer yet. Receiving this support would finally give me the chance to focus on my transition without so many barriers in the way.”
