Anetha Needs Her Bite Back!
Donation protected
Please help our matriarch, Anetha Cobb, get her teeth back!
Ms. Anetha received a dental plate for her bottom teeth, but not a single thing will keep said denture in place. She has tried ALL the remedies and ALL of them fail her within a few small bites of eating anything. PLEASE KEEP READING, because there's so much more to her story than what meets the eye --
"This story begins on August 29, 2005," writes Ms. Anetha. "When Hurricane Katrina made landfall, she took almost everything I had - my home, my pets, and everything we owned. After federal grants helped us get back on our feet, I was able to replace my lost set of dentures. (I am unable to work and rely solely on Social Security Dependent's benefits.) Unfortunately, I couldn't continue getting the required adjustments to the bottom plate, so they stayed right in the denture cup instead of agonizing me. Twelve years passed, and some very kind friends helped me get my bottom plate realigned so I could wear it again.
"However, a new problem popped up -- literally. No matter what adhesives or adjustments we tried, my dentist and I couldn't get the plate to stay put. Every time I ate, the plate would come loose and I couldn't finish eating. This is even more important for me because I have developed some digestive conditions that require proper chewing and digestion. So -- the less I can masticate, the harder it is for me to digest, and the more difficult my digestive issues become.
"My dentist tells me the only option is implants. I just need two implants to anchor the bottom plate in place at a cost of $2500.00 if my bottom plate can be used. If the plate I have now can't be used and they have to make another one, that would add another $1000.00.
"I struggle every month just to pay basic bills, medications, and groceries. I simply cannot afford this type of expense, but I can't afford to go without bottom teeth. Some people want implants to improve their looks; I just want to be able to eat and chew properly. "
As you can see, my mother-in-law is in dire straits. Our team, the AndrCobbs, most humbly request your kind donation to her cause. The longer she has to wait, the more complications she has with her digestive health. No donation is too big or too small! We will take them all, just to help Mom back to chewing properly again!
With sincerest gratitude,
