Punched In The Face By My Own Face

Donation protected
Hey everyone! My name is Rachel, but you may also know me as Ray or Rexxie. I've been dealing with very bad and painful rosacea since I was a child and I'm getting really really sick of it! It burns and stings me tremendously. It makes my skin tomato red, dry, oily, pimple-y (known as pustles in rosacea land), and definitely doesn't make me feel good about the way I look.

I've gone to several dermatologists and have been recomended a few medications to help control it BUT the side effects are worse then what I'm taking the medication for!!
I've even tried the hollistic route! Tried everything in the book you can think of! Rose hip oil, jojoba oil, LUSH products, etc. Nothing worked!
Because of this I REALLY want to opt for laser surgery!
Unfortunately since its considered "cosmetic" its not covered by any insurance companies. (Trust me I've looked into it numerous times)

I do work a full time job, 40 hours a week but the surgery is very expensive and I need your help to get it!! Any amount helps greatly! 

The money:
So basically I need to get multiple treatments. Because my condition is so bad I need to go back at least 3 or 4 times. I was quoted about $1000 per each time. 
The laser surgeon also told me I should look into accutane treaments, but thats a whole other ballpark and I don't expect to get that far with my treatment.

I also need to keep in mind that GoFundMe will deduct a 5% fee from each of my donations, and I'll also be charged a 2.9% + $0.30 fee from WePay for each payment that I request.

ALSO TAXES. BECAUSE GOVERNMENT.


Thank you so much for reading if you did! 

Here's a bonus smiley face if you made it this far. :)
