Help Bo Smile Again!

**I understand times are financially hard for so many of us right now. If you are able to donate anything at all: Thank you so much. I am beyond grateful and so is my brother!! You are giving him a chance to live his life!!**

Hello, everyone! My name is Autumn but I’m organizing this fundraiser for my 27 year old brother Bo (most of you know him as Ricky!).

As most of you know, Bo is a recovering addict. In October 2021 he will be THREE YEARS off drugs! I am so dang proud of him. He has a full time job now as well! He’s been working his hardest ever!

Unfortunately, in the last 3-4 months he has been diagnosed with life threatening dental issues. He is going through Terminal Dentition which is causing him lots and lots of pain. He has lost many of his teeth and the ones that are left are rotting away in his mouth. He is in constant pain and struggles to eat. His jaw bone is infected and also rotting away. Our biggest fear is he doesn’t get the surgery he needs in time before the infection spreads to his brain ultimately killing him.

Bo will need his remaining teeth extracted, bone grafting for his jaw and dental implants. Doctors recommend he gets the dental implants ASAP because “Bo is a young 27-year old. Getting implants later in life may become more challenging due to limited bone.”

The total cost of surgery is $30,000. The deposit is $7,000 but Bo needs to show proof he can guarantee the rest of payments in the next couple of months or he won’t be able to get the surgery done.

I added an extra $5,000 to help give him financial space to take time off work while he recovers.

Again, I understand not everyone is in the position to donate, but if you can: Thank you so much. My baby brother is my absolute everything . I don’t want to lose him after he’s fought so hard to get off drugs.
