FAQs

Who are you and why are you doing this?

Hi! I’m Oliver and I started TNE. I’m a trans person who works in Harm Reduction full-time. I started sending needles and supplies on a much smaller scale - mainly to my friends when my pharmacy would give me too much. So I decided to start doing it on a bigger scale! We want to help out our trans siblings who can’t afford supplies right now, or who are battling with their health insurance or pharmacy.

Are your supplies sterile? Is it safe?

Yes! Everything is unused and unopened. We get our supplies from pharmacies, needle exchanges, and medical warehouses.

I need supplies but I don’t want to give you my name and address/I’m worried your supplies won’t come in time.

That’s okay! Contact us and we can find a mail drop off place that you feel comfortable going to, or we can help you look for a needle exchange program near you.

Can I donate supplies?

We’re working on opening a PO box. If you are shipping needles or syringes- please make sure everything is unopened. We can’t send supplies if there’s even a doubt that they’ve been compromised. Shoot us an email if you have questions about it.

I can’t donate but I want to help! What can I do?

That’s okay! Just spreading the word is more than enough!
