This is K.C. Groves writing to you on behalf of my mom, Carol Groves, age 92, who needs a helping hand with her current dental surgery bills. In a nutshell, and possibly because of a nutshell (just kidding... sort of!), she has lost several teeth in the past few years and recently had 3 removed on the one side she could still chew on. This has resulted in an urgent need of dental implants.

This procedure is essential for her health and well-being as she even struggles with soft foods like macaroni and cheese. This struggle has led to significant weight loss and has also affected her self-esteem and confidence. Because this affects her speech, she is increasingly more withdrawn in social situations and is reticent to talk on the phone. She is otherwise in pretty good health, but this situation is slowly taking its toll.

The cost of this whole procedure is around $8,000 which includes the oral surgeon (Dr. Chai at Boulder Oral Surgery) and the actual implants (Dr. Johnson at Redstone Dental Studio). While this is a significant expense and my mom is on a fixed income, we are committed to finding a way no matter what. At the end of the day, we will make it work, but any support would be deeply appreciated and will help ease the financial strain on her.

We are immensely grateful for any contribution that will help Carol smile and be her more her old silly and chatty self!!
