Helping Holly’s Heart & Smile

Donation protected

My name is Katherine. I am a dental secretary and friend. I am trying to raise funds for a very special woman who desperately needs help with dental work. It is no longer an option for this to be put off because it is now severely affecting her heart. 

Please read her story and help if you can. If you can’t help please share to help raise awareness. Thank you 

Holly is an amazing woman. She has beenfostering abused and abandoned animalsfor over 10 years. Over the past 10 years she personally has found wonderful loving homes for over 200 animals. She never asks for anything in return. She does this all the while raising her children.  

What you don’t know is that 15 years ago, Holly left a very abusive Husband. Who broke a large portion of her teeth by hitting her in the face the day she finally lefthim. Holly has 20 teeth in total that need to be extracted and replaced.

Being a single mom she was never able toafford to get them fixed. Holly is allergic to local anesthetic (dental freezing) so shewould need to be put under to get the broken teeth removed. Since Holly could not afford to get them fixed, they kept getting worse. Now the teeth are no longer saveable. They all need to be pulled.  She has been suffering in excruciating pain for years. Unable to eat or smile. She is constantly getting dental abcesses because of exposed roots and nerves. She has been turned down from good jobs that she was perfectly qualified for , all because she can’t smile at the customers/clients. But the scariest thing of all is, now it is starting to affect her heart.  This needs to be fixed ASAP so it doesn’t get worse and so herchildren don’t need to worry about losingtheir mom.  Holly doesn’t have any of family. 

Holly is only in her mid 30s, and because of this she would benefit from the all on 4 dental procedure. That would allow herteeth to be pulled and 4 implants to be placed in her lower jaw and 6 in her upper jaw. It would allow her to be able to smile and eat again. It would stop the constant emergency room visits because of infections. It would give back this wonderful woman her life. She does so much for others, she deserves to have pain free days without worry of her health. 

I am trying to raise $20,000 to cover the cost of the extractions, implant procedures and enough to cover her bills for a month while she is healing from the extensive procedures. 

Any and all help is appreciated. 

Thank you for reading.
