I am publishing this on behalf of one of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever met, my best friend Elijah. He desperately needs to have all of his teeth pulled to prevent infections from spreading to his heart and brain. Elijah is beloved by everyone who knows him. He is such a hard worker and is about to celebrate one whole year at home, safely off the streets. He has done so much for himself in such a short time. Now he needs our help. Elijah needs this money to finish the procedures quickly. Each tooth has cost $350 to pull out of pocket, after insurance. The money will cover the last extractions, dentures, and rent while Elijah is recovering.
