Hi friends, family, and kind souls —

I’m Dana, a single mom doing my best to balance life, work, and raising my amazing 12-year-old daughter. She’s growing into such a bright, confident young girl — but, her teeth have been causing her a lot of discomfort and insecurity. Her orthodontist recommended braces to correct her cross bite and prevent future dental issues, but the total cost is around $6,500, and unfortunately, we don’t have insurance.

I’m working hard and saving what I can, but as many of you know — life loves to throw curveballs. I created this GoFundMe to help bridge the gap so I can get her started on treatment soon. Every little bit helps — whether it’s $5, $20, or simply sharing this link.

I’m beyond grateful for any support, encouragement, or prayers you send our way. Thank you for helping me give my girl a reason to smile — literally and emotionally.

— Dana
