Help Autumn Fix Her Teeth

First off, thanks for taking the time to click on this fundraiser! My name is Autumn, I'm a trans woman from Philadelphia and I have a bit of a problem. Thanks to some bad advice from a previous dentist and the fact that I've always struggled to have energy to do more than brush before bed most days, I need some pretty major dental work done. And because dental coverage is such a nightmare in the US, I really can't afford it.

I work a civil service job with modest pay and benefits, and my income has to support me and my girlfriend together. I fully do not have the thousands of dollars I'm being charged for a series of root canals and fillings in just one part of my mouth. My insurance doesn't even pay for half, and they're leaving me with a $1700 bill I'm not really able to make up. Dental insurance is so stingy, like having your teeth taken care of isn't important or worth covering, but I really do need to get this taken care of sooner than later. It's only the first set of procedures I'm going to need, and I don't want to let my tooth situation get worse because I can't afford to have it fixed.

Thank you so much for reading this far, I really appreciate your time and consideration. If you can afford to offer any help, it really means so much to me, and if you can't, spreading this link around is more than enough. I wish I didn't have to ask for money like this, but I'm having a rough time lately and if you can spare anything at all to help cover this bill it'll make my life much, much easier.
