Help Me Pay For Laser Treatments

Donation protected

Hello everyone!

My name is Onamae, Ona for short. (I go by Anna most of the time)
I'm a 16 year old girl who lives with her grandparents in a small town called Port Townsend.

The reason I wanted to start this fund is because all my life I have struggled with a condition called nevus flammeus or more commonly known as Port-wine-stain. It is a birthmark that is a malformation usually on the face. Mine started to develope about 2 weeks after I was born!

This condition can affect my future and can stop me from getting tons of job oppertunities.

Looks are everything in our world, which is sad, but true!

My whole life, since the very first day I started school, I've been bullied and picked on for looking different.

Even though my stain looked much worse when I was younger, I still get bullied to this day and my self esteem is so low that I don't like leaving the house.
I do whatever I can to hide how my face looks in photos and edit them a lot, and I don't let people take pictures of me.I always feel like people are staring at me and judging me.

When I was younger, kids would refuse to be my friend or play games with me because they didn't like how I looked.

In middle school, I was bullied HARD. I ended up almost commiting suicide because of all the bullying I had gone through for looking different.

In order to get rid of or lessen the appearence of a stain, you must get lasic treatments done. The only one I've ever gotten was done when I was about 4 years old.
My grandparents had stopped the treatments because of the lack of funds.

Every year I've been told that I'd get the lasic treatments done and I would get my hopes up and think that I'd finally be able to feel better and accept myself.

Unfortunately, I still have not gotten any done.

UPDATE!:

I NOW HAVE INSURANCE! Though I am still unsure how much I have to pay! So please donate!
