Meet Max

Max (he/him) is a full-time college student balancing classes with full-time work, all without health insurance or family support. Local providers require regular appointments and lab work, which are financially out of reach, and sliding scale clinics have long waitlists. These barriers have forced Max to pause treatment multiple times simply because he couldn’t afford the next visit or prescription refill.

Supporting himself entirely, Max’s income goes toward rent, tuition, and basic needs, leaving nothing left for consistent medical care. “Receiving 12 months of HRT support would take a huge weight off my shoulders,” he shared. It would give him the stability to continue his transition without interruption, improve his mental health, and allow him to focus on his education and future.
