Elijah’s teeth
Donation protected
Hi my name is Isaiah. I’m 20 years old. My Brother, Elijah, is 19 years old. We recently moved to Orlando for school and work. My brother walks to the bus stop every morning at 4:30 AM to catch a bus and be at work at 7 AM. On Thursday May 19th, he arrived at his bus stop and started to feel sick and light headed and according to doctors, due to heat exhaustion and dehydration he passed out. His head and neck landed on the road. He was all by himself and was out cold for a few minutes. He woke up confused, bleeding profusely from his mouth. One tooth broke off in half and lodged itself inside his lip which was split wide open. The other front tooth was horribly loose. X-rays and CT scan revealed the bone on top of his front teeth was shattered. The Dentist revealed the devastating news that his teeth could not be saved or fixed immediately. To restore my brother’s teeth it will take a year long process and was scheduled for surgery the very next morning where the surgeon revealed even more devastating news, that immediately he needed to remove the tooth and the loose one could not be saved because of the shattered bone. He needed to also insert a plate and a bone graft with hopes to insert implants in one year. He also had minor plastic surgery to repair the lip. In the meantime, after he heals, he needs braces with 2 fake teeth for one year. After the one year, we will begin the long process of 2 dental implants. Dental insurance does not cover a big portion of this and does not cover implants at all. Im asking for your help financially. Everyone that knows my brother will agree that he is the nicest guy and very hard working. He is very respectful and responsible. Please help us.
