Dental care and surgery for Stephanie

My name is Stephanie Colas-Lafimee. I have been suffering with Systemic Lupus for 20 years. I have had three hip replacements, two shoulder replacements, a bone Biopsy ( where they test the marrow of my bone for abnormalities.) and several dental surgeries  due to my Lupus, Vitamin D deficiency and my medications. With my dental health deteriorating I cannot eat properly, chew properly nor  confidently smile. Therefore I cannot eat like everyone else not even chewing gum. I am constantly in Pain. The healthcare system does not realize that dental health is very important. Your dental health can impact how you live, how you body get nutrition and impact your systemic health. Bad dental health can increase risk of diabetes, heart disease and gum disease.

All I am requesting is help for dental procedures and surgeries. Unfortunately I need two more teeth pulled, gum grafting and dental implants to that I may eat, gain my weight back, get my youthful face back and my smile back. To remove my deteriorating teeth cost $350 each tooth (x3) , root canal of my bicuspid cost $ 879 (x2), Gum grafting $1,100, x-ray $80 (before and after images and more, depending on the healing process.), Medications, gas for travel , and Then finally teeth which cost the same as a Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $36,500+ with G4 by Golpa, in Tysons, Virginia . My ultimate goal is $12,170. so I can complete 1/3 of my healthy teeth journey. Your donation will go towards helping me gain new and healthy teeth, gums and smile. 

Thank you in advance for your contribution. You have no idea how much this means to me to have your support.

Sincerely yours,

Stephanie Colas- Lafimee
