In that brief moment of time it made me think about a number of different things. Yes I could spare the dollar to help out a fellow human being who was standing out in freezing whether conditions. Which led to the train of though regarding my GoFundMe. Would you help a stranger raise money for a cause that was very important to them?
My campaign description goes on to explain that I have been struggling with acne for 15 years and suffer the consequences of all the left behind scarring. While being on Accutane has dramatically reduced the redness of my scarring I still live with the large amount of uneven skin texture.
You can imagine the insecurities that I have lived with and all of the negative things that have been said about me. I'm finally to a point in my life where I can leave the house with only a light coverage foundation.
Can you spare $5 to help a women feel more comfortable in her skin?

Thank you for sharing such a personal struggle. I'll check out the gofundme page.
ReplyDeleteI don't personally have the funds for that, but I relate to your struggle. I have lots of scarring from acne as a teenager and young adult, and still battle with it now but not as bad. I tried everything before and nothing seemed to make a big enough difference. It is what it is for me, although sometimes my eyes zero in on the scarring and it irritates me and makes me sad. I hope you find a way to be comfortable in your skin, whether from gofundme or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see things have improved for you with Accutane! I'd love to help with your donation account too, but sadly last year was pretty rough for my family and adjusting to single motherhood has been a major financial challenge. I have very little to spare these days - but I wish you the very best as you reach for your goals.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this. will check out the page.
ReplyDeleteAccutane works great in this situation. I hope things get better.
ReplyDeleteWishing you success on your campaign (bookmarked for later contributions)
ReplyDeleteWow I'm wishing you lots of success in this new year! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt's really brave of you to share this struggle. I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteWishing you success this year and hoping your GoFund me page funds quickly!
ReplyDeletep.s.
I'm glad you shared....but I wish you knew how beautiful you are in the skin you are in. <3
Good luck with this! It would be difficult, but I hope there are kind people in the world who wouldn't poke fun at something like that.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best for your Go Fund Me!
Dealing with acne even more scarring can be challenging. I hope you reach your goal!

I had acne growing up as well and had used every product I could get my hands on at the time. I think I finally grew out of it through my diet and just how my body changed. Hope you can get the treatment you need.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem. I refused accutane though. They put me on antibiotics which reeked havoc on my body and caused me to be so sick for years. Once I stopped taking the antibiotics I started using AcneFree which is what finally worked to clear up the acne. I of course have the scarring as well though. It's not as bad as it used to be though.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by your bravery to write about and help other women who suffer with the same struggles and have enjoyed reading your post. I honestly if I had extra to spare would help you or any stranger who needed something. I personally have been struggling with my move and not even being able to help my children and feel awful when I can't help. I know if I were in my home country the tables would look a lot different. I look forward to continuing to read your post and hope you gofundme is prosperous!
ReplyDeletewow I didnt know there where funds for this. This is such a nice way to help people.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to help but I think you look beautiful regardless. Our flaws are what makes us beautiful but I understand that the negativity can get you down. Those bullies are not worth your time xx
ReplyDeleteYour story is very honest and touching. Glad to see that Accutane has made a dramatic difference. Will check out your gofundme.
ReplyDeleteIt's never easy to deal with something that constantly keeps your self esteem down. I suffer from skin issues as well, and I can't really leave the house wearing anything short, from skirts to shorts or dresses. I hope things go well for you!
ReplyDeleteLove that your soul. you are such an amazing person <3 Hope this campaign works well for ya. You know I would help if I could! XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteYour story is inspiring. You are such a beautiful person inside-out.
ReplyDeleteWish you all the best.
i hope you are able to raise what you need
ReplyDeleteGoodluck with this endeavor. I hope things turn out okay for you.
ReplyDeleteYou're brave for sharing your story. Wishing you the best of luck with your GoFundMe campaign. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to contribute.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the acne is now controlled, looking at your other photos.
ReplyDeletei'm sure it's hard, i have scars on the side of my face from skin cancer surgery from when i was 8. good luck to you
ReplyDeleteI am very moved by your story - definitely going to check out your GoFundMe.
ReplyDeleteThis story is definitely one that I can relate to. I know that there are so many women that could use a better treatment for their skin but can't afford it.
ReplyDeleteHi, honey. I would love to share with you what I use. I will personal message you on fb :)

Good look on your venture - I hope that you will learn to love who you are and not feel the need to have to change yourself x
ReplyDeleteI myself suffered with scars all over my body from mosquito bites. I lived an area that was affected by mosquitoes. Growing up I wore a lot of pants and long sleeve clothes. By the time I was 18, I choose to stop hiding. I used BIO oil. I am now 30 and the scars are no longer as visible. Barely!
ReplyDeleteI see where you're coming from but at the same time I could make a campaign for different things too. Living with scars on your face is tough I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave to share! Wishing you the best in this new year!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you strength and success in your campaign. Thanks for sharing your personal story.
ReplyDeleteI am honored that you told your story! I will be keeping up with your campaign.
