A Smile for Brooklyn
Donation protected
On behalf of my long-time friend, Kiki Eli, I am starting this Go Fund Me for her daughter, Brooklyn. At the age of 16, Brooklyn started to lose the enamel of her teeth. By the time she turned 22, all of her teeth were completely rotting or falling out. She lives on her own and is a part-time waitress, trying to pay all her bills on what little pay and tips she earns. Brooklyn has no insurance, cannot afford to pay out-of-pocket at the dentist, but she is trying to get into a dental facility that has a sliding scale. She's been out of work for a week and half because she now has developed an abscess and infection in her jaw. She's been hospitalized twice due to the infections running through her system. She doesn't qualify for any Medicaid or disability benefits and due to her hospital bills, her credit is not the best at this time. Brooklyn requires oral surgery because the roots are sitting on top of the nerves of her molars. Every tooth in her mouth unfortunately needs to be removed and she will need dentures. As you can imagine, for a 24 year old young lady, this is devastating to say the least. However, this is what it's going to take to help her smile again. Any donation that you can give will help this beautiful young lady to be able to do once again. She hasn't smiled in 3 years (showing her teeth). God bless anyone that is willing to help Brooklyn in this endeavor!
