Hey Folks ~ Chris C.D. Littlefield here with a humble request for your assistance with my upcoming dental surgery. I'll be undergoing extraction, bone grafting and dental implants due to ongoing problems and loss of bone below the gum line. This procedure is quite expensive, and the recovery period is very long. As a professional trumpet player, educator and teaching artist, it is crucial to have a fully functional set of teeth. Sad as it is that my condition has come to this, but I'm facing the inevitable with great optimism! Most of the funding comes from a financing agency or personal loan; the remainder comes from our savings. Interest rates and monthly payments are very costly. My goal is to raise as much as possible to pay back the personal loan and financing agency and offset the loss of income for time off from performing. , and any contribution will make a tremendous impact! On behalf of my family and me, thank you all in advance for any and all donations.
