Hi, my name is Angel, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help in getting life-changing dental care.

I need a full mouth extraction and dentures due to severe dental issues caused by genetics and years without access to insurance. Over time, I’ve lost multiple teeth, and the ones I still have are chipped, decaying, and causing constant infections. My gums are often swollen and painful, and there are days when the pain is so intense I can’t even eat. Even simple things like drinking cold water can send shooting pain through my mouth.

This has taken a toll on not just my health, but also my self-esteem. I often avoid mirrors and photos because of how ashamed I feel about my smile. It’s incredibly isolating and heartbreaking.

Now that I finally have dental insurance, it only covers $2,000 — a small portion of what’s needed. The total cost after insurance is about $12,000. I’ve been pre-approved for $2,500 in credit (though it's not guaranteed), and my mom is generously helping with $4,000 from her savings. If everything lines up, I have about $6,500, but I still need to raise around $5,500 to move forward.

I’m asking for help because I can’t do this alone. Every dollar you donate brings me closer to living without daily pain and being able to smile again — without fear or shame.

If you’re able to give, or even just share this campaign, I’m beyond grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me on this journey to healing.

With love and appreciation,

Angel
