Hi, so my names zara im 21 i’m a transwoman, i was doing pretty well until i had top surgery. i needed three weeks off i got one week off then they fired me. so i’m in a battle of finding another job that doesn’t just dispose of me like that and i still have a outdated id. with a mix of no transportation i really need help. Id need help with buying 1-2 bras since i couldn’t after my surgery and transportation too update my id, and get my bloodwork done.
