Hi, my name is Kristjan, and I’m 36 years old. I’m raising funds to repair my teeth after nearly 10 years of battling severe mental health challenges.

Over the past decade, my struggles with mental health have deeply affected every part of my life. I haven’t been able to work or fully participate in everyday life the way I once could. I am considered second-degree disabled, and for many years my focus has simply been on surviving and trying to stabilize my health.

During that time, my dental health suffered. When you’re fighting just to get through the day, things like regular dental visits and treatments become overwhelming or financially impossible. Unfortunately, the damage has progressed to the point where I now need significant dental repairs.

This is not just about appearance — it’s about pain, infections, and overall health. At 36, I wish a real chance to rebuild my confidence and improve my quality of life. Being able to repair my teeth would help me eat properly again, reduce ongoing discomfort, and take an important step toward feeling like myself again. It would also give me the confidence I need as I continue working toward recovery and hopefully returning to a more active life.

The funds raised will go directly toward dental treatments, including examinations, restorative work, and any necessary procedures recommended by my dentist.

Asking for help is not easy, but after years of fighting quietly, I’m choosing to reach out. Any support — whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser — truly means more than I can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of my journey toward healing and rebuilding my smile.
