a new foundation
 

My friend Tony started the Jim Collins Foundation and has been doing a great job of getting it going. The aim of the foundation is to raise money so that transfolks who can't afford surgery can be helped. He has been doing all sorts of fund raisers in Southern New England and the NYC area.

Great info here, thanks

Thank you so much for this link!:gimmehug: I am definitely going to apply. :clap:

They are just getting started so I don't know when they will be able to help anyone with their surgery finances, but it's a good group of people to get involved with. Tony is really good at organizing and getting things done so I have no doubt that the Jim Collins Foundation will grow and grow.

This website has interesting articles and an extensive list of online forums and social networks for transmen: http://transguys.com/

Great resources

There is a chapter here in San Diego that meets twice monthly.. They also have chapters all over the US and other countries as well as online resourses and a few forums.

Trans Alliance Society (Vancouver, BC based but has some good info)

Thought these would help out too!

Hey,

Does any of you guys know of a good doctor in or near Norwood Mass. My friend is looking for a trans friendly doctor. He's in transition right now and his doctor is not very helpful or understanding.

Thanks
OB

Hey Organic!

I don't personally know of any doctors in MA, but here is a link that might help your friend. He will need to click on the Resources tab for a list of health care providers.
