Helping get teeth pulled and dentures

My name is Sherrie Pickett. I've lived in Long Beach, WA for about 13 years now. I know I live in a great community and right now I need some help with my teeth. I took very good care of my teeth my entire life but unfortunately medication I have had to take for a very painful condition over the past 20 years has caused extreme dental decay and tooth loss. That and hair loss is a known side affect of the medication. I'm not able to stop the medication because the pain would be very debilitating. I now need to have my remaining teeth extracted and get dentures. I do get Social Security but I rarely have more than a few dollars a month left to buy anything for my self so it's impossible to save the amount I need. As for insurance I'm on Medicare which does not cover dental. And Pacific county has not made supplemental health insurance available until Jan of this year. I do not qualify for medicade, which means I do not qualify for Apple Health. I have toothaches that last for weeks and rotate from one bad tooth to another. I've been taking a lot of acetaminophen and ibuprofen and occasionally antibiotics when I've had an abscess. Tooth extractions have averaged between $130 and $280 for one tooth. It depends on the root structure. After the teeth are all extracted I will need dentures. Through information the dental clinic has provided by phone and their web site I've calculated that the cost would be about $4,000 for all of the dental work. That's assuming there are no problems with extractions and for the mid- point dentures. If anyone would like to see how I calculated the cost I'd be happy to post it. It's just very challenging to add multiple pictures to the GoFundMe page. And yes, I've checked other resources. Free clinics in Portland or Seattle are first come, first serve basis and will only help with fillings or basic extractions. I had to do that one time and sat in a very loud and crowded place one day in December for an ENTIRE day. Then they announced there was no more time and they were sorry but I could try again the next month. I ended up getting my tooth extracted at a different clinic and just paid for it. I drive a 20 year old car that drains a car battery so I can't drive that far. Trips from Long Beach to Portland or Seattle would leave me stranded with a broke down car. And right now my foot is in a boot because I had to have foot surgery so it will be months until I can drive again anyway. I'm dependant on someone else to drive me everywhere and she can't be away from home long enough to drive that far and wait all day with me.

So, I'm hoping that folks reading this story will feel compelled to donate to the GoFundMe account a dear friend has graciously set up for me. I'm a REAL person, this is not a scam. You can view my profile on Facebook. I plan on having pictures taken of the dental estimate, me sitting in the chair getting fitted for dentures and what my new smile looks like after I get them. I assure you that all proceeds will be used for this purpose. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help, and if you are not able to donate please share my page with others you know. A friend( Amanda ) has offered to manage this GoFundMe account and I'm hoping that folks reading this story will feel compelled to donate to it.Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

I would be truly blessed ❤️
