Welcome to the forum.
I don’t live near you or I would help in person. You can do this! I suggest you perform the Glowforge tutorials to get started. If you want some good video instructions, check out Glowforge 101 – Big Blue Laser Designs
We can help you once you get started.

Ditto not in Niagara Falls, but I’d be happy to do a video call and show you a simple project start to finish.
Before you get into that, go walk through the First Prints. It does a great job introducing you to everything needed 
I knew nothing about lasers, or designing vectors 7 years ago!

You can do it! When I got mine I had zero experience with a laser or svgs, etc. I was intimidated as well but you’ve just got to get in there. As @deirdrebeth said, working through those first prints is so important and lets you gain a little confidence too!!
