Help Dawnia Transition and Feel Comfortable

Donation protected

Hello everyone! My name is Dawnia Darkstone (she/they), some of you may know me as my artist pseudonym "Letsglitchit". A year and a half ago I began socially and physically transitioning so that I could feel more comfortable in my own skin and in my interactions with others. This has largely been successful, I've gotten a taste of "feeling myself" and I want more!

TL;DR  I'm 30 now, and I'm happier, and I want the world to know! Help me fix my smile! In addition to this I would also like to get some full body laser hair removal done. I need a few implants, root canals, and also a new mouthpiece to protect my newly shaped mouth from my TMD popping up again. And my hair is very dark and thick which causes me a lot of dysphoria. I have chronic pain so the amount of time I spend shaving is a major detriment to my availability of energy and thus my quality of life. 

I understand the amount I'm asking for is very high. I'm taking religious care of my teeth these days but they've just deteriorated to the point of needing a lot of work and laser isn't very cheap either >.< Any contribution or share is appreciated immensely. I don't expect to get the whole amount very quickly but that's fine, laser and dental surgeries take time anyway. This is a long haul campaign. 

Background: When I was younger, having grown up in MS, I was fairly sheltered and didn't really understand that trans people existed. I didn't know that there was a community of people like me and that transitioning was something someone could accomplish. I thought I was alone. I thought I was a freak. This of course made me horribly depressed and I didn't really take care of myself. I didn't think I could ever be attractive in any meaningful way to myself so I neglected a lot of selfcare including taking care of my teeth. This combined with a genetic predisposition to tooth decay has left my mouth in a sorry state :(. I couldn't picture any sort of life for myself past 30 so I figured why bother? 

I make $4,000 a year. I suffer from chronic pain following 2 car wrecks in my early 20s (rear ended at red lights) and I have bipolar disorder with other likely comorbidities. I'm all but legally disabled and have relied on my minor clout accrued as an artist to enjoy blessings such as what I'm asking for. I appreciate all of you so much, whether I reach my goal or not. You've all helped me so much over the years, I love you.
