A few years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. The treatment was intense—almost a year of oral chemotherapy, months of radiation, and months of steroid therapy. While I am grateful to be in remission, the side effects have left me with a new challenge: my teeth are destroyed. I need a full mouth rehabilitation, and the cost is overwhelming. I thought I could manage it on my own, but the down payment alone is much higher than I anticipated.

For years, I’ve avoided smiling in pictures and cover my mouth when I laugh. Eating normal foods is difficult, and I’m constantly fighting infections and abscesses that affect my health. Regular dentures aren’t an option for me, as I need to preserve the bone I have left. This dental treatment will allow me to eat, smile, and laugh again without embarrassment, and it will help me regain my confidence and improve my overall health.

I’m reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who has supported my journey over the years. Your help would mean the world to me as I take this next step toward healing and happiness. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.
