Emergency Dental and Medical Treatment

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Rosie, and I am a disabled parent to an amazing seven-year-old. I am currently without healthcare coverage, and I am having medical and dental emergency needs that are out of reach but essential to my life. Due to my illnesses and medications, I have experienced rapid tooth and jaw decay. This has nothing to do with dental hygiene, and two dental surgeons have confirmed that I need emergency work immediately, as my teeth are rapidly crumbling in my mouth, and my jaw is wasting away. I am unable to eat all solid foods, and due to the nature of some of my disabilities, meal-replacement drinks are not an option for me. I have tried calling dental clinics, but most of them have a wait list of 8-14 months to see anyone. But even if I could get an appointment tomorrow, my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome depletes my collagen and slows my healing, making it very risky to operate on me, so I can only see very specialized oral surgeons who do not work at these clinics. On top of the dental emergency, I am unable to pay for my medications out of pocket or see any doctors to request refills, and they are refusing to refill them without an appointment. So I have run out of migraine and heart medication, as well as crucial medications that help me eat the only thing I am able to eat: soup. Without my medications, I have started having frequent seizures and heart palpitations that need to be discussed with a doctor urgently. My hope is to raise money to get lifesaving care. I have already had the initial dental X-rays and appointments with two surgeons, but they told me I need an MRI and surgery immediately. The MRI will show the extent of bone grafting I need on my jaw, which will likely be much more than the X‑rays showed, so there's a good chance both the scope of the work and the cost will balloon. If there are enough funds after the dental surgery, I will use them to see the doctor and, at minimum, get my medications filled. I hope to be able to get scans to follow up on my seizures and heart issues. My partner recently lost his job, and we are both working very hard on finding him employment and getting me health coverage, but these things cannot wait for that. We are so grateful for any help to get us through a really rough patch in life right now.
