My
baby sister (Jax) is in desperate need of jaw surgery to correct a severe under
bite. When she was three her cute little under bite and slight lisp was
adorable.
At
19, it is no longer cute and is presenting serious medical challenges. Recently
diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, Jax has seen how her inability to properly
chew food has made her condition worsen and become more painful. So much so
that she had to drop out of college to deal with the side effects of her jaw
misalignment. That isn't even taking in to account the guaranteed long-term
effects her under bite will have on her dental health if her teeth are allowed to continue to wear down incorrectly.
Her
Doctor has been kind enough to offer to do the surgery (commonly referred to
as maxillary osteotomy) for free, but we still need these funds to
pay for the hospital and other medical expenses.
If I had the ability to pay for this myself I would, but since I don't I am turning to my larger online community who has given me so much in my life and ask that you be generous and help change my sister's life. Your help will help my sister enjoy a lifetime of good health and get her back in college where she belongs.
Any amount, no matter the size will be appreciated.
