Get A Combat Veteran Her Smile Back

Donation protected

My name's Katrina Lawson, I'm a combat veteran who got hurt while deployed in Iraq. I ended up with the disease called complex regional pain syndrome, it is the most painful disease known to man but it's done far more than that to me. I'm stage 4 full body terminal not much can be done for that I've gone deaf in my right ear because of it I'm going deaf in my left I'm also going blind and to top it all off the disease took away the one thing I cared about most about me which was my smile. I've tried and tried to save the money I've tried to do whatever it would take and I just can't get there I have numerous infections in my jaw I've been on antibiotics for over a year the only thing left now is to get all the Roots removed and my remaining teeth pulled and to get dentures I've been fighting this off as long as I can I can't chew food hard let alone soft I'm basically on a liquid diet. I'm 31 years old I don't know if God wanted to teach me humility because I was always so prideful of my smile I don't know what the case was maybe it was just the disease eating away at me. I have no self-esteem no self-confidence no self-worth anymore I don't even want to leave the house, I was in the emergency room 2 weeks ago and the doctor took one look at my teeth and wouldn't even shake my hand he treated me like I was nothing but a junkie and good-for-nothing which I'm not. It's hard for me to ask for help but now I have to please share my story if you can't donate but please help me hit my goal. I have an appointment on the 10th and if I get the money together I can have teeth before this month is over thank you for taking the time to read my story have a blessed day.
