"Founded to help families of transgender and nonbinary youth, the Richmond-based nonprofit has expanded to serve adults seeking care and connection. Its Trans Wellness Fund offers quarterly microgrants that help Virginians pay for surgeries, hormone therapy, and other forms of gender-affirming care. "We've helped 46 people access surgery, hormone therapy, and direct care through places like Seven Hills," Hopper said. "With hospitals no longer serving minors and with costs rising, that support has been crucial.""
"He She Ze and We now operates across Virginia, from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads and the Blue Ridge. Its programs include support groups, educational workshops, and volunteer outreach. "We work with all ages, all people-parents, trans adults, allies," said Grayson Arthurs, the group's community engagement and events coordinator. "There's a place for everyone." The organization also recently launched trans adult welcome calls, modeled on its family support outreach, to connect adults with affirming health care providers, housing, and social resources."
