Hello, everyone. I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help, but life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. On Saturday, January 4th, I was out with a few friends enjoying what was supposed to be a relaxing evening. Unfortunately, that night took a turn when I was unexpectedly assaulted.
The attack left me with severe damage to my two front teeth, leaving the nerves of my teeth exposed. As you can imagine, this has not only been physically painful but also has made basic tasks like eating and drinking extremely difficult. I’m currently unable to go about my daily life as I normally would, and the mental and emotional toll has been just as hard to deal with.
Due to the nature of my work in customer service, I interact with customers every day and rely on my appearance and confidence to do my job. The current state of my teeth has left me feeling too self-conscious and anxious to work, so I am unable to go back to work until I can get this sorted. It's not just the physical injury, but the emotional toll that is making this such a challenge to overcome.
I understand that there are many causes and people who need help, and I truly appreciate that there are so many worthy causes out there. But I am reaching out to this community because I’m exhausted from trying to figure out how to get back to normal. I’m doing everything I can to get my life back on track, and I am asking for help to cover the medical expenses needed to fix my teeth and get the necessary emotional support to recover from the trauma.
Every little bit helps, and I’m incredibly grateful to anyone who can offer support, whether it’s financially or simply by sharing this story with others. I appreciate your kindness and understanding during this difficult time. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for considering helping me in my journey to heal.
With gratitude,
Shaun.
