Save Toma's Jaw!!

Story

Hihi, Toma here...!! As my community might already know, I've been dealing with alignment and breathing problems due to my upper jaw growing incorrectly for most of my adult life. Up until recently it has been manageable but after AX I noticed my symptoms getting much more severe including extreme pain, swelling, and numbness in my jaw which led me to see a specialist for it. According to the specialist, I’m at high risk of nerve damage, sleep apnea, and my condition is progressive meaning it will get worse until I get treatment. I can’t open my mouth more than 1 inch (2.54 cm), and can't speak, sing, eat, or even sleep without extreme pain. I've tried getting help but the surgery I require is complex and expensive and the earliest I can get surgery in the US is 2028. Given how crucial my voice is to my daily life I simply can't wait that long so I've been looking into getting treatment overseas which has looked to be way more reasonable for reasons I've broken out below. Overseas Treatment: 50% cheaper even without insurance + factoring in travel costs. Faster pain relief (different method of treatment: surgery then braces, compared to braces, surgery, braces in the US) Possible in the next 6 months I am embarrassed to post this but after asking friends for advice I need help to get the treatment I need in the form of a GoFundMe* that will cover a significant portion (but not all) of the costs for travel + treatment. Singing and yapping for my Tomaniacs has been my greatest passion and being unable to do so in any capacity has been breaking my heart. All of that said, please, please, please prioritize your own health and financial situation first!! All donations are greatly appreciated, thank you for reading this and if you do choose to donate thank you for helping to change my life ;; Love, Toma *following GoFundMe's TOS, I can't offer any incentives for donations other than my undying gratitude
