Hi, I’m Sydney and I honestly can’t believe I’m doing this but here we go…

If you’ve ever seen my photos or met me in person, you might have noticed I do everything I can not to smile with my teeth.

It’s not because I don’t want to, thanks to a rough combination of poor genetics, chronic migraine nausea, and dry mouth caused by years of medications, my teeth have become severely broken and decayed. At my most recent dental consult, I was told I’ll need to have all my remaining upper and lower teeth removed and be fitted for full dentures.

I’ve put this off for a long time, but the pain has gotten too bad to ignore. So I’m swallowing my pride and reaching out… I’m ready to smile without shame, eat without pain, and take back a piece of my life that’s been missing for far too long.

If you’re able to donate, I can’t thank you enough. And even if you can’t, sharing this means the world to me. Every bit of support brings me one step closer to a healthy smile.

With so much love and gratitude,

Sydney
