Christi's Dental Implant Fund

This fund has been set up for our daughter, Christi.  In October, 2014, Christi had to have major oral surgery to remove several teeth and a couple of cysts in her upper jaw and then rebuild her jaw with new bone.  Thankfully, though the oral surgeon was concerned that the cysts would be cancerous, the report came back a month later that they were benign! 

During the last two years, she did not wear temporary teeth because of the expense and because she was told that the “temporaries” could damage the new bone growth.   Dental Implants have recently been installed and Christi will have 5 crowns placed once the implants are ready to receive teeth.

The total process would take nearly 3 years and cost nearly $25000.  In the early stages, when we knew this process would be necessary to heal her jaw and restore her smile, it seemed like an insurmountable mountain to climb, both in endurance and a huge financial burden.  But we serve a BIG God!

We considered doing a fundraiser to take some of the financial pressure off of Christi, but she did not want to be a burden to others.  So, over the last 2 years, Christi and her family have been able to set aside nearly $20000 toward the implants with less than $5000 to go to reach the final goal and have this mountain conquered so she would be able to move forward with her life.

Recently, Christi received a phone call from a dentist she had seen previously.  Apparently, an anonymous special person donated some money to help with Christi’s dental costs, but had unknowingly donated to the wrong dentist! So, the money was refunded back to the donor.

In our hearts, we knew that God was saying it was time to reach out to others with an opportunity to bless Christi by setting a goal to eliminate this financial burden by Christmas 2016!  Over 75% of this mountain has been climbed so we’re reaching out with this GO FUND ME page in case you would like to share in Christi’s life so that as much as possible of this burden can be lifted off of her going into 2017.  We are very proud of Christi for her endurance and determination to push forward and we're looking forward to seeing the joy in her heart radiating through her brand new smile in 2017! 

Thank you for your prayers for Christi and if you would like to help a bit financially, that would be a HUGE BLESSING!

Thank you!  

Her Loving Family
