Change how you think about money

People in our community often have a hard time through no fault of our own. It can be hard to find work and hard to pay for basic things like food and housing. In a perfect world, trans healthcare would be free for anyone who wants it. We do not live in that world.

The pressures we face can make us feel sad, angry, anxious, or even hopeless. But there is always hope!

Do not worry about the things you can not change. Focus on things you can change.

Good thoughts will help you make plans and action!
