My name is Tanvi, and I'm a 36 yrs old trans woman based in Mumbai. I've been on HRT for more than 2 yrs now, and I really need to get my SRS process started at the earliest.

I have been financially independent since the age of 17. I've worked all kinds of odd jobs before I could afford some further education to work in the field of design which is my true passion. Today, I work at YRF studios as a Motion Graphic Designer. Throughout this journey, I have also taken the responsibility for my family's financial and healthcare needs.

I was diagnosed with Renal Cancer just a few months after I started HRT in 2018. Post-surgery I did recover completely, but it also revealed to me the precarious nature of my so-called financial stability.

Since then I've been trying to save every penny possible towards the goal of gender-affirming surgeries. However, the amount is too big for me to realistically raise/save by myself, while also continuing to fulfil my other financial obligations. I, therefore, ask all of you for help.

I would really appreciate any and all help you can give me. Please contribute, share, and amplify.
