Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a single woman in Houston with a big heart, two little dogs, two rescue cats, and a life I’ve worked hard to build with independence, faith, and perseverance.

After years of chronic pain, severe fatigue, and worsening sleep apnea, I’ve finally been approved for life-changing double jaw surgery to correct a serious airway and jaw misalignment. This isn’t a cosmetic procedure — it’s essential to help me breathe properly, sleep through the night, eat without pain, and protect my long-term health.

Unfortunately, the surgery and its required follow-up care aren’t fully covered by insurance. In addition to the jaw surgery itself, I’ll need multiple extractions, dental implants, specialized orthodontics, and an extended recovery — all of which come at a high cost.

I’ve already done everything I can to contribute: I’ve cut back my expenses, taken on extra responsibilities, and even begun renting out parts of my home to make ends meet. But I can’t do this alone — and that’s why I’m asking for help.

Why This Surgery Matters

To understand what I’m facing and why it’s so important, here’s a short video from Dr. David Alfi, a nationally recognized specialist who developed the technique being used for my surgery:

How You Can Help

If you’re able to give — even just a few dollars — it would mean the world to me. Every donation brings me closer to healing and to a future with less pain, more energy, and a better quality of life.

And if you can’t give financially, simply sharing this campaign or keeping me in your prayers is equally appreciated.

Thank you for reading my story, for caring, and for walking alongside me in this challenging season. With a little help, I truly believe I can breathe deeply, sleep soundly, and smile again — this time without pain.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Elizabeth
