Donate to Chelsea's Critical Dental and Heart Care

My name is Chelsea Wood. In August of this year I began running low grade fever. After a couple months and no explanation Dr. Pokala did a TEE and found that I had vegetation/infection on my pacemaker. I was referred to a doctor in Houston to get it removed. They ended up removing the pacemaker and port because of infectious endocarditis. The infection ended up being in the valves of my heart also. After doing several weeks of intense iv antibiotics fever did not go away. Dr Pokala did another TEE and has referred to a cardiothoracic who has put another team together which entails dental work because if any infection is in the teeth it can spread to the heart and cause more issues which could result in having to have multiple valves replace in the heart. The dental work is extensive and insurance does not cover it. Therefore we are reaching out to get help to pay as both myself and my dad are on disability and live on a limited income. Anything is deeply appreciated.

a little back history. My teeth have problems because of medications that have been required over the years and like lots of teenagers braces that the glue did not agree with my teeth and health issues. We started trying to get my teeth pulled before COVID pandemic hit in 2020 and had to stop when it hit because of being immune compromised.

we also have a cash app available also going if you would prefer that way
