I am raising funds for myself because I need surgery for idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) TMJ. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover this specific procedure, so I must pay the full cost out of pocket directly to the surgeon's office. In addition, I have sleep apnea due to a narrow airway, which causes fatigue and impacts my daily life. This condition has caused me significant discomfort, making it difficult to chew, eat, and speak. It has also affected my appearance, as my lower jaw is receding, which impacts my confidence and daily life.

Having this surgery would mean relief from pain, improved ability to enjoy meals and conversations, and better sleep and energy levels. It would also restore my jaw’s function and appearance, helping me regain a sense of normalcy and self-assurance. Your support would make a tremendous difference, allowing me to move forward with the treatment I need.

I believe in abundance and that there is always enough for everyone. I hope to continue paying it forward in any way I can. If you are able to donate, I would love to thank you by making you a personalized bracelet with a word or name of your choice. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
