Noel

Noel's story

HRT Access Fund recipient

Noel (he/they) lives with the dual challenges of disability and financial insecurity. Medicaid does not cover trans-related healthcare, and relying solely on SSI leaves Noel without enough to pay for hormones alongside daily living expenses. Since losing access to testosterone, both their mental and physical health have declined.

For Noel, support would make a profound difference. “I just want to do daily stuff without the dysphoria of my voice and face,” they shared. Receiving 12 months of HRT would restore stability, ease dysphoria, and allow them to focus on living more fully.
