Hello everyone. We are Chris and Erin. We have been married almost 20 years and have 3 wonderful children and a beautiful grandchild. We have a very loving relationship and provide a loving home. We always love to give big smiles to everyone, whether it's a stranger in the store or customers at work. However, that has changed recently and we find ourselves trying to hide our smiles because of our teeth. It feels wrong that we cannot share joy with people around us through our happiness and smiles.

With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our dental hygiene got away from us. We kept putting it off until we could afford it. Unfortunately, the years went by and we have come to a point where our teeth cannot be saved. After being diagnosed with periodontal disease, and with our bone diminished, this has now become a health risk. The cost of the procedure, which includes extractions and dentures for both of us, is upwards of $28,000. We are grateful that there is financing available for this procedure that we will most likely be accepted for. However, we are about $5,000 short of where we need to be. We are a single-wage household and have no savings to pull from. We are asking for any help towards our health and happy smiles.
