Help Andrea Afford Vital Dental Health Care

Hi, this is Andrea.

I'm a woman in my mid-30s who struggles with a variety of illnesses and disorders which has resulted in extreme deterioration of my teeth. It is a mix of metabolism problems leading to weakened teeth, autism and depression making it harder to maintain oral hygiene, medication that dries out my mouth and exposes the teeth to further damage and a lack of funds to have saved it before it got as bad as it now has.

My teeth are currently so bad that most of them are rotten and damaged beyond repair. They cut into my gums when I chew as well as when I keep my mouth closed for longer periods of time such as during sleep. I also have deeply infected roots that cause so much pain that I struggle to get by without constant pain medication. I need to clear out the bad teeth, treat the infections, fill the roots and get a prosthetic set of upper teeth.

The problem is that I do not have much of an income. I have no employment, any healthcare benefits have already been used up and this is despite me being diagnosed as too sick to work or study. All I have is the money I make through online support. I'm a small-time YouTuber with a Patreon and Ko-fi to help with monthly expenses, but it's just nowhere near enough to cover what I need.

I recently went to a dentist, thanks to the help of my partner, and set up a plan to sort this all out. It's going to cost, a lot. That is why I have made this fundraising effort. If you can help out, even just a little bit on the way, it's going to be so much appreciated.

The sum I've set is the full amount stated by my dentist at this time, one I hope doesn't go up further. While me and my partner will be doing what we can to pay for my appointments, your support can help it happen both faster and without as much of a dent to our livelihoods.

Thank you.
