Emergency Tooth Extraction to Keep Trina Smiling

Many of you may know Trina Studebaker as a great healer, gardener, and dear friend. Upon her most recent work trip to Portland to maintain the gardens and trees under her care, she began to have terrible pain in her teeth and gums.

She was recently given discouraging news about her dental condition: a cracked tooth that can't be saved. This has caused excruciating headaches, TMJD, and swelling of her jaw requiring antibiotics, ER visits, and a host of expensive pain management treatments.

The extraction is going ahead next week. The roots of the tooth are curved making it a tricky procedure requiring a specialist. With insurance, Trina now faces a cumulative medical bill of over $4000.

We are reaching out to her broader family – to all who care about Trina – as a Family! Let’s rally the strength and compassion of our posse to help Trina raise the fun(ds) to receive this essential dental work without incurring crushing debt.

We all receive an abundance of joy and care from Trina. We want to help her take definitive steps toward freedom from this excruciating acute pain, integrate and recover after the upcoming dental surgery, and (with care, luck, and space to heal) move on to years to come liberated from this debilitating dental pain.

Every little bit will help – $10, $25 – or more if you can swing it!!

Trina asked us to share a hearty Thank You in advance to all of her supporters and to those who love her. Thank you for reading this. And let’s all send some lovely reiki to Trina as she navigates the gauntlet in front of her! <3
