Dad needs new teeth

Ray is a Stay at home father of two children with autism. He has given up so much in the care of them. Spending day and night taking care of them since their birth, with no breaks or time off. He doesnt get dads day outs or to hang out with his friends. He just keeps on going. Some times weeks with out sleep. He goes with out new clothes or things he wants. Always putting the kids and I first.  He is a loving father and for once needs to be taken care of him self.  

"This is Nevin our son. Him and daddy at his doctors appointment. "

"This is Daddy and Isa sitting on the couch when Isa wasnt feeling well. Snuggle time always makes us feel better. "

Rays Teeth have been bad since he was little. they have been crumbling in his mouth for a long time. Now it has gotten to the point that it is life thretening. He has started developing Abscessed Teeth. One tooth so bad that the entire right side of his jaw and neck where swollen.  He has had tooth pain since he was a teenager but now it is to the point that he can no longer manage it. The pain is keeping him awake, effecting his ability to care for his babies.  He has been in so much pain he hasnt been able to do basic things around the house. Or even realy work on the kids with thier home schooling. 

Our children need thier daddy back like he was. Happy and always there for them when they needed. He is trying so hard to still be that person but most days is barely able to get through the day. 

The infection has moved into his neck close to his windpipe and Arteries.  

The dental work normally cost around $6000 to $8000 We found a clinic That is willing to do the work for a little under $4000.  Anything above this will go to pay for denture adjustments and follow up visits. 

This is what is being done. 

They are removing all of his top teeth. 
Removing most of his bottom teeth minus a very few in the front. 
fitting him for dentures.  
This is the Xray they took at his visit this past tuesday. 

you can see on the bottom left the absessed tooth. 

Below is a  picture of him with the swollen jaw. This is a couple days after being on Antibiotics. 

Part of the reason for the cost is these are what are known as TIP EXTRACTIONS. The teeth are in such bad condition that they cant do a traditional extraction. 

It is killing him not being able to be the dad he wants to be. And this is risking his own life now.  Our family cant do with out daddy. Our babies need him and we are asking that you please help us take care of him. Below I am adding some pictures with him and our babies even one of our fur babies. Please find it in your heart to help Ray get better. If anything do it for our children. 

As stated before all funding will go to care for his teeth and health. Anything above what is needed will most likely knowing my husband go to the kids and their needs. Please open your hearts and send what ever ammount you can to help us reach this goal. We are on a short deadline to get the money as this is a medical emergency. 

Thank you for your time in reading this.
