Subject: [MTF-SRS-FTM] mtf srs grants/ help funding
To whome it may concern:
My name is Samantha and I have been living as a female since my early teen years. I am 21 now and am tired of the pain and torture I have to do to myself to be comfortable in the clothes I wear. I have been trying to save money for srs, but it just seems impossible. I remember back in 2007 when I was about ready for it, it was running $7-$10k; now it is over $20k and just unrealistic. I don’t ever imagine me having that kind of money. I was wondering if anyone knew of any grants, or assistance programs that are available for this surgery.
Also, I have tri-care prime insurance through my husband; don’t know if that will help cover any costs. I have spoken to many surgeons including Dr. Reed, Dr. Chettawut, Dr. Bowers, and Dr. Alter over the years. I have been ready for this final step for a while now and just need the funds or assistance to reach my goal. I have had breast augmentation 8 months ago as well, thinking it will help with my insecurities and help wait for srs a lil longer but it just makes me want it more now. I have met all the criteria needed for the surgery and have all documentation needed. Anyone willing to help with information please do so.
It will greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Samantha
LADIES !
Your happiness and fulfillment of the way it was meant to be is our goal. Please call Anne, our amiable office coordinator who is the brains behind pa and the maker of deals.
Yes, you do need some contingency funds. Please don’t read “Europe on $8 a day” and expect for $56 you can tour Europe for one week.
You will need a friend, spouse, or relative, to be with you for a few days at least. When one looks at all the expenses that confront us in life, a car, urnishing an apartment, a home perhaps, caring for a child, education, this cost is peanuts, and once it’s done, it’s a non-recurring expense. You may go on to meet Mr. and Mrs. Right depending,… if you have not already, and your living expenses will be less if you both accept some responsibilities.
Also we have noted 50% of our patients come in with a sponsor, could be a family member such as Mom or Dad, a friend, significant other, lover, church group, you name it. If you have an endearing , appreciative personality and touch people, they will help. So will we.

Hi! My name is Miah and I’m pretty much looking for a miracle. Of course I’m one out of thousands who needs help funding srs surgery to complete the woman I know that I am. I am 23 years old, still live with my parents and as of now, because of a situation that called for quick action, am about 9,000 in debt with a car payment. I’m kinda at a loss for what to do, I’ve tried putting in ads to sell my car privately, but no one would pay as much as I’m asking to pay off my loan. I’ve applied for grants, looked online for financial aid but loan payments are so high, and this would only be an option if I could sell my car and pay off the loan I already have. I’m currently in the beginning process of a relationship with the sweetest man I’ve ever met, and since this is basically my first relationship in my entire life, it’s made me want my surgery more, not just so I don’t have anything to hide and be with him intimately but so I can be finally content and proud of myself. I recently switched jobs to start from “scratch” and in the beginning used the female restroom, but alas it wasn’t to be for long as some of my former classmates from HS knew who I was and turned me into HR, so now I have to walk to a wal-mart that’s just down the street every time I have to use the restroom, as if I wasn’t going to the restroom to just pee, wipe, wash my hands and leave just like any other woman. My dream in this life is to finally be considered “normal” to finally fit in and be as much woman as I can possibly be. And of course I’d be lying if I didn’t want to rub my changed driver’s license in my classmates faces and walk in the female restroom with my head held high. I may be a rarity in my beliefs, but I totally believe that God has a purpose for my life and He has reason for making me this way. I came to that conclusion after many years of hating myself and wishing I could just die and end all the pain. Happiness seems just barely but still out of reach and I wish to God I can grasp it with both hands and the only thing that stands in my way are funds to pay for surgery. I’m so scared that it will never happen and I’m going to spend the rest of my life as a wanna be, someone who cant enjoy being a woman only because of the condition of her genitals. There’s nothing I want more than to be a wife, a mama, and when I get old and my children grow up, a Mamaw so i can spoil my grand kids. God, somebody please help me, what can I do? It just seems so impossible
