All I want for Christmas are my teeth removed

Donation protected
Hello, 
   
Many of you may know or not know, but when I was 11 year old I was an avid crawdad fisher. I loved looking at the strange creatures. I didn't know people ate them until I moved to North Carolina! 
    
On one fateful crawdad fishing adventure, when I was 11 years old, I slipped and fell on a concrete slab in the ditch. Unfortunately I didn't catch myself in time and - Bam! I knocked out my three front teeth. Well fast forward 24 years later and I have an infection that has been festering around my implants for several years. In some weird #thanksCovid moment, everything seems to have aligned to tackle this challenge. Face masks are trending, I'm home reminding my Mom and Dad to stay home during Covid, and I've found a new dentist and surgeon I really really like. It's been a long time since I've felt so at ease, accepted and supported by my dental team. I currently don't have medical or dental insurance that works in New Mexico. Because of my profession, I don't earn enough money to afford healthcare outside of the limited offerings from medicare, of which will take a hot minute to process while my dental team says I need to take care of this procedure ASAP.

The procedure is scheduled for this coming Tuesday, and I need to raise $3600 to cover the costs of anesthesia so the Surgeon can work his magic without me feeling anything! If I don't take care of this right now the medical challenges get worse, with the possibility of the infection spreading to my eye and  further bone loss on the horizon. Scary stuff, in case 2020 hadn't had the potential to scare me enough already! Rather than fear, I am turning to hope!!

I just need your help. Which is hard to ask for but necessary if I am to address my health fully and completely.

This winter, I am not sure of my plans, as it is impossible to plan when the world is on fire. But I will be creating while I heal, something, for all of those that can support me.
