North Texas TRANSportation Network , Fort Worth, Texas
The North Texas TRANSportation Network (NTTN) provides travel and relocation grants to North Texas families seeking out-of-state health care for trans and gender-diverse minors or seeking to relocate because of issues such as lack of access to health care or bullying. Led by Cynthia Daniels, the vision is to ensure that every transgender and gender-diverse minor in North Texas has access to the healthcare they need, regardless of geographical barriers. Families are supported through $1000 travel grants and recently added $3000 moving grants, which alleviate some of the financial burdens that often accompany seeking healthcare beyond state lines.
