Emergency Dental Work for Riora

On Riora's behalf, I've set up this fundraiser. Please take a moment to read her words below, and give what you can. Signal-boosting would also be appreciated (both in & outside of the neurodivergent communities). Thank you!

"I am Riora, artist, mystic, & profoundly disabled human.

I have a disease called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which is a common co-morbity autistic people (like me) have.

I have been working extremely hard to rehabilitate myself after years of less than ideal circumstances for me medically and personally. One thing I cannot do without money is save my teeth.

One of the more disturbing parts of EDS is the complete disintegration of the teeth quite early in life. This part has been scary and painful and affects my health and well being very significantly.

If I can’t do a series of crowns at the moment and partial dentures I will have to have all the teeth in my head pulled out at 46. I desperately don’t want to have to do that.

It would mean everything to me if I could save them. Now that I’m on MediCal some basics have been covered but not enough to actually keep my teeth.

Any help would be life changing."
