We made this GoFundMe for our Mom.❤️
Most of you know her story now and have helped her pay for Phase 1 of her dental procedure. Phase 1 is bone grafting and dental implants to preserve her lower jaw. And Thanks to all of you, we raised $12,500 for this to happen!!! WOOHOOO!!
Now that she has her procedure scheduled for October 27th, we need to start thinking about Phase 2.
Phase 2 all depends on how long Mom takes to heal and once she’s done healing, we will still need $10,000. This will give her the after procedure care and once she heals, her permanent teeth.
So we are giving this GoFundMe a second shot for Phase 2!!
We love you so much, Mom!!!!

If you haven’t read about our Mom’s GoFundMe, here is her story.
Our Mom, Judy, is the most selfless person we’ve ever met. She didn’t want her problems made public because she never likes asking for favors from others. But, we finally convinced her that making one could possibly do a lot of good!
Mom has had dental issues since I was a kid. Due to financial hardships growing up, she was never able to fix her teeth in time. But around the same time as my parents divorce, she had no choice but to get dentures for her top teeth. She was absolutely devastated, because it could’ve all been resolved, but she couldn’t afford it earlier when it could’ve helped.
Since she’s gotten her top denture, she has slowly lost some of her bottom teeth and also recieved a partial denture on the bottom. But through the years that bottom denture has been extremely painful due to bone loss and her gums became almost non-existent towards the back of her mouth. Wearing the bottom denture is no longer an option now. Over a month ago, she consulted with a Periodontist(Specialist in Oral Surgery) about all possibilities for her teeth. He said she only had one option.
That one option costs $22,500...
They would pull her bottom teeth that are already in very bad shape. Then they would add artificial bone in to keep her facial structure the same. Also, dental implants would then be put where she still has enough bone in the front to have them.
All this would keep her jaw from constantly aching, her face from slowly caving in due to bone loss in her jaw, give her a chance at eating anything she would like to eat, and giving my best friend her smile back. This has been a huge storm cloud over my mom my entire life.
I’ve never felt more helpless.
Being the daughter to this amazing woman has been easy, but seeing her cry over this has been the absolute hardest. I wish I could somehow come up with this money by myself. But without help there is no way I could make this her reality. I am only asking that if you want to or can give to this amazing woman then please do so! But if you can’t, please pray for her during this extremely traumatic and emotional time.
I love you, Mom and so do so many others.
