Help Me Finally Live My Truth and Embrace Happiness

Help Me Finally Live My Truth and Embrace Happiness

Hi, my name is Dalles Wielenga aka "Malibu Dallas", and I’m asking for your support to make a lifelong dream a reality—one that will allow me to finally live as my authentic self and embrace the happiness I’ve been chasing for decades. My journey has been long and incredibly challenging, filled with struggles that have tested my spirit but never broken my determination.

For 40 years, I carried the heavy burden of knowing I was transgender, hiding my true self out of fear, confusion, and the societal pressures that so many in the LGBTQ+ community face. Six years ago, I finally found the courage to come out—to my family, my friends, and even publicly on social media. That moment was both freeing and painful. I lost people I thought would love me unconditionally, but I also discovered an incredible new family of friends and supporters who have stood by me through thick and thin.

I began my transition a few years ago and started hormone therapy. For the first time in my life, I began to feel a sense of normalcy, as if my body and soul were finally aligning. But life has a way of throwing obstacles in the path of those already fighting uphill battles. Financial hardship forced me to stop my hormone treatment, and it broke my heart to see the progress I had made come to a halt.

In 2019, my life unraveled further. I lost my job, my home, and my truck, leaving me homeless for the fourth time in my life. The hopelessness I felt during that time was overwhelming. I fell into a dark depression and made several attempts to end my life, feeling like there was no light at the end of the tunnel. But somehow, through the grace of resilience I didn’t even know I had, I survived.

And I didn’t just survive—I began to rebuild. Over the past three years, I’ve devoted myself to helping others, channeling my pain into purpose. As a victim of child trafficking, I understand the pain of families torn apart by a system meant to protect them. I’ve made it my mission to educate families across the country about their rights and how to stand strong against corruption in the courts. Every year, I give away over $100,000 in free services to help struggling families fight for justice.

Through my work, I’ve reached millions of people worldwide, written two books, and built a social media community of over 400,000 followers on TikTok alone. My videos exposing the truth about systemic corruption have touched hearts and sparked conversations across the nation. Despite these achievements, I still face daily battles with loneliness and an unshakable feeling that I’ve yet to truly live as myself.

As I approach my 47th birthday on April 20, 2025, I am more determined than ever to take the final steps in my transition. It’s not just about physical changes—it’s about finally being able to wake up in the morning and see the person I’ve always known I am looking back at me in the mirror. It’s about finding peace and happiness in my own skin after a lifetime of struggle.

I’m asking for your help to raise $25,000 so I can schedule the surgeries I need and move forward with my transition. These funds will give me the chance to embrace the happiness I’ve worked so hard to help others find. If you’ve ever known what it feels like to dream of something so deeply that it hurts, I hope you’ll understand why this means everything to me.

Your support isn’t just a gift—it’s a lifeline. It’s a vote of confidence in my journey, a recognition of how far I’ve come, and a belief in the person I’m becoming. Thank you for reading my story and for helping me take this step toward living my truth. Together, we can make this birthday the best one yet—a celebration of authenticity, resilience, and the incredible power of community.
