Help Aurelia Save Her Teeth and Health

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Aurelia. I’m raising funds for urgent dental treatment to stop severe gum disease and infection. I’ve been diagnosed with advanced periodontal disease, including active infection and bone loss. The recommended treatment is a specialized laser procedure called LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), which can help save my teeth and restore my health.

Without this treatment, the only alternative would be full dentures in my 20s, something I’m trying so hard to avoid. I want to keep my natural teeth, not just for how I look, but for my long-term health and quality of life

The cost for the treatment is $8,600, not including any follow-up visits or travel expenses. The infection causes constant pain, and I’ve already lost sleep and weight from the discomfort and stress.

I’m doing everything I can, following a strict dental hygiene plan, (I’m using 3 different mouthwashes, antimicrobial toothbrushes) seeking all available resources, but I need help to access this treatment before things get worse.

For 13 years, I’ve faced online bullying and cruel comments about my teeth What most people never knew is that my dental health has been shaped by serious medical, financial, and personal challenges. It’s painful when people reduce you to something they don’t understand. I’ve lived with the pain of those comments every day.

I’ve spent years trying to heal privately, doing everything I can on my own. But right now, I need help.

Any donation, no matter the size, will help me take this important step toward healing. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign is a huge help too.

Thank you for reading and supporting me on this journey. Your kindness means more than you know.

your friend,
Aurelia
