Help Joshua with Crippling Medical Bills
Donation protected
It appears as though what I hoped would help me may not help me as much as I thought. I am working to pay the bills without the interest, which will take a heavy toll on myself and my savings. I am actively looking for additional employment. This money helps to financially secure me, and I can spread it out as needed for any payments I may not be able to entirely fulfill.
My Story Summarized
Hello to anyone kind enough to read this. My name is Josh, and life has just thrown me a curveball. I have suddenly learned I require emergency dental care totaling over 12,000 dollars (+20% interest), even with my insurance [Check Updates]. My mom and I are already working hard to make ends meet and this has put a strain of desperation upon me unlike any I have ever faced in my life.
My Expenses
For a long period I was unable to afford dental insurance unless through my workplace, and due to being a fulltime student as well, I was unable to recieve that benefit from work either.
Despite my best efforts to take care of myself, I was unable to properly seek care for my mouth until the pain became excruciating. Upon finally working to gain coverage and seek care, I was told it was a good thing I came in when I did, because I had emergency after emergency waiting to destroy the health of my mouth, and eventually of my overall person.
I am required to recieve several seperate expensive procedures from impacted wisdom teeth, to another extraction, to root canals, crowns, and a bridge, all the way to gum treatment.
More than Teeth
A healthy smile is more than a cosmetic luxury. Without this work I tread a dangerous path that could lead towards serious health complications that will only further our continuous struggle. Without this work I may be unable to properly help my mom as much as she deserves after raising me by herself most of my life.
Asking for help this way is something I've never considered before. I know times are tough, but any amount you can contribute would mean the world to my family, and release a terrible burden that now hangs over us like a dark cloud.
Anything given will be put directly towards my dental bills [View Updates]. I cannot thank you enough for your compassion and generosity.
With much love and gratitude,
