Dental Emergency. Dad needs Dentures. ASAP
Donation protected
It has been quite a year. For everyone.
On top of the collective challenges this past year, my dad has emergency dental issues. We are raising money to get him dentures.
He has waited and waited hoping things would reopen and he could play live shows again (he's a drummer) and save up enough money.
As he's waited his dental situation has gotten worse and worse, now he can only drink liquids, smoothies etc. It's pretty dire. He's in pain, and these things only get worse the longer you wait.
He's driving Uber to stay afloat, but by no means has the surplus to get the teeth. He has explored all the insurance options over the last few months and he has been left in the maze of being disqualified for entirely confounding reasons.
Short story: we are asking the community for help to get his teeth. Basic dentures have been quoted at $5k- denture implants are quoted at $15k.
I'm envisioning a day (in the not too distant future) when he sends me a picture of himself eating an apple, or a sandwich, or smiling while chewing gum. :)
