For the past two years, I have been struggling with a devastating loss of my ability to eat and live normally. My teeth have all fallen out, leaving me with only my gums, and I am losing weight every day. I have tried every possible option—saving what I can, seeking financial aid, and even asking my mother to co-sign for loans—but nothing has worked. My credit isn’t strong enough, and the state of New Hampshire doesn’t offer dental insurance for the kind of work I need. I’ve reached out to over 20 dental practices, offering my graphic design services in exchange for help, but I haven’t found a solution.

This all started when a medication I was prescribed caused my teeth to deteriorate rapidly. I went from having a beautiful, healthy smile to feeling isolated and embarrassed. The physical pain is constant, with infections, headaches, and sleepless nights. My doctors have confirmed that my health is at risk, but I still don’t qualify for state assistance. The emotional toll has been just as hard—I’ve become a shell of my former self, avoiding family gatherings and losing hope.

I am at my wits’ end, and this fundraiser is my last resort. I want to get back to smiling, laughing, and living my life without pain or shame. If you can help, I would be deeply grateful. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing my story. Thank you for reading and for any support you can offer.
