Hello! If you clicked on this to find out more about this particular GoFundMe, I appreciate your time.

To keep it blunt, this last month (June), I had to take time off to fix my teeth.

What's wrong with my teeth? Well, I had chipped one tooth and damaged another 2 of them that had previously been previously worked on. how? When biting too hard on some food. :( I know. underwhelmingly annoying. one bite did all this.

I had believed I could handle it for a while while I saved money for a visit and maticulously cared for it to keep it from getting worse.

Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate it turning into two different root canals on those molars and needing to get other caps redone on that side.

This developed to the point of severe pain, I couldn't eat until I fixed it. Drinking water was a challenge. Even laying on my side or talking was troublesome.

I was able to get my teeth fixed under a medical loan, which while expensive, I'm grateful exists since I was ready to rip the two teeth out with pliers. (I'd never wish that pain on anyone. You can't even think straight.) I had to fight to get even one day covered by sick bank even though I was off for 2 days, doing back-to-back dental work.

This loan is causing a lot of strain on an already harsh financial situation as I'm still paying off student loans on top of your monthly bills.

I've been lucky enough that my family has stepped in to help some on this loan, but I'd much rather not put them in any financial burden.

In spite of hating asking for financial assistance, I've turned to friends, family and the public hoping maybe someone would be kind enough to relieve even a rather small portion of this cost.

To any and all who donate, you have my deepest gratitude. I know many of you may also be dealing with your own problems, and taking time to help me means a lot.
