Hi. I'm Rob,

I'm in desperate need of dental work. Apart from winning the lottery, this is my only hope in this economy to get it done. This is a huge barrier in my life, mentally, physically and spiritually.

My molars have been gone for years and the rest are breaking or dying. All I have are my front 2.5 top teeth to chew. I'm in constant pain, constantly dealing with absessed teeth. Now my front top teeth are failing . Chewing is pretty much impossible. I'm noticeably loosing weight and avoiding certain foods. It's so disheartening.

I've always been a happy go-lucky, nothing bothers me, type person. Always smiling and always being able to roll with the punches and take whatever life throws at me. Now I find myself suppressing that smile...

I struggled in life. Group homes, jails, eventually a hospital. I'm not perfect I was an addict for years, coke, meth, fentanyl. When my Brother passed away in 2023, I quit. Literally almost killed me but I pulled through. It's been a long road and a bumpy one. Set-backs and self-doubts come with the territory. Unfortunately, so did the deterioration of my teeth. I've always been told I'm a handsome man, loosing my teeth has knocked my own self-image down, killing my self-esteem.

I work in construction and live in the Yukon now. I have completely turned my life around. Even with this massive weight on my shoulders. It has caused me to miss work, and social events from the pain alone. Add extra expenses like pain killers and antibiotics on top of what we are all going through (rent, gas, groceries, life expences). It's all so overwhelming

The dentist last year told me roughly $10,000 to pull what I have and give me dentures, up to $35,000+ for implants. Idk how much I can raise or if I'll even raise any. Please help me get my smile back and go from :( to :D
