Help Cover Surgery Costs for Dental Health
Donation protected
Hi friends. This is crazy, but sometimes when you’re desperate, you do what you gotta do. So here goes nothing.
I have struggled with my teeth my whole life. My dentist says a lot of it is genetics (my mom had full dentures by age 18, and apparently that’s something that’s passed down from mother to child) and the fact that I’ve been on medication for several years that causes dry mouth. I’ve been getting teeth pulled, one at a time, for probably the last 10 years. For the last 4-5 years, I’ve been chewing with only my front teeth because they’re the only teeth that connect. Well, a month or two ago, I broke a front tooth. So it’s nearly impossible to chew at all. The remaining teeth I have are loose and it’s time to have them removed.
I have the money for the dentures themselves (thanks to a donation from my church), but I’m needing the money for the actual surgery. I’d love to be able to save for it, but that’s simply not an option as I’m currently not making enough money to pay my monthly bills, let alone put any money aside. So, here I am, doing the only thing I can think of, as embarrassing as it is. If I had any other options, I’d be all over them. But, I really don’t. My surgery is scheduled for 09/26/24. If you feel so inclined and happen to have some extra money lying around, I’d really appreciate your help. This is awkward. Please don’t feel obligated!! I’m just throwing this out there for anyone who wants to and can help. Thanks for supporting me.
