I think this is a major under-addressed health problem and some researchers from Stanford agree: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2020/07/toll-shrinking-jaws-human-health
As far as I know, I'm the only person working on setting up a sustained patient-led effort to raise awareness of this issue. Dr Mike Mew and the Jaw Epidemic authors are also active but I think something needs to come directly from the patients.
I'm currently living in a caravan and my costs, including server costs, are about £700 a month. I get some UK state benefits of up to £400/month. I've been borrowing from family but this is wearing thin.
Wondering if anyone in the hacker community would be interested in funding this effort, or could put me in touch with someone who might be?
The project is www.jawhealth.org.

The webpage rally needs a few photos or at least drawings.
Does $700 include food and rent, or only the webpage and other parts of the project?
