Support for a Young Family in Medical Crisis
Hello, This is a young father from Mohammandpur, Dhaka. I am reaching out with a heartfelt request for help during one of the most challenging times of my life. My wife is currently in her 8th month of pregnancy with our first child. What should have been a joyful time has turned into a medical crisis. During recent prenatal checkups, doctors discovered that she has gallstones (cholelithiasis) with elevated pancreatic enzymes. Her amylase and lipase levels are critically high, exceeding 1000, indicating acute pancreatitis. This serious condition requires immediate medical attention and careful monitoring throughout her pregnancy. We have incurred significant medical expenses already. My wife is under the care of Sappo Medical Hospital, where she will deliver. The estimated cost for her remaining prenatal care and safe delivery is approximately $1,000. Additionally, I have taken a loan of over $600 to cover recent diagnostic tests, medical bills, and essential medications. I must repay this loan within one month. Unfortunately, I recently lost my job, and I am currently unemployed. As a first-time father, I am struggling to manage these unexpected expenses while ensuring my wife receives the best medical care possible. Every day is stressful as I watch my wife's health complications and worry about our baby's safety. I am not asking for charity, but for help during this emergency. Your donation, no matter the amount, will help us pay for her medical treatment and repay the urgent loan. It will give my wife peace of mind and allow us to focus on her health and our baby's arrival. Thank you for your compassion and support during this critical time for our family.

Medical Support for a Trans Woman Beginning HRT
Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a transgender woman living in Botswana, and I'm seeking short-term financial support to begin my medical transition while I work on finding a job. I have already identified an affirming doctor and trusted hospital (with the help of Rainbow Identity Association Botswana) where I can access gender-affirming care. This includes a prescription for hormone replacement therapy (HRT), ongoing blood tests, and follow-up consultations. The remaining barrier for me right now is cost. There is no medical insurance that covers gender-affirming care for trans people here. I'm asking for support to cover approximately the first 3 months of transition related expenses. These include initial consultation, required laboratory work, prescribed hormones, and follow-up monitoring to ensure my health and safety during the early stages of treatment. My goal is to raise $3300 USD, which reflects a realistic estimate for these costs and provides a small buffer for unexpected medical expenses. Any funds raised will be used solely for this purpose, and I'll post updates as I progress. For personal safety reasons, I am choosing to remain anonymous and not share identifying photos. I appreciate your understanding. Beginning HRT is not something I take lightly. It is an important step for me toward being able to function, work, and plan a future with a greater sense of stability and well-being. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign is also deeply appreciated. Thank you for reading, and thank you for any support you are able to offer.
