<div>Greetings, fellow person with teeth! My name is Emily, and I’m in the middle of fighting the horrible beasts known as dentist visits and medical bills. I'm reaching out to my wonderful art and cartoon communities for support with a challenging financial / health crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve struggled with health problems since a very young age, and tooth care was no exception. And as it turns out, some of those previous non-tooth related health problems had contributed to my hell mouth’s current state. I’ve fought with pretty severe asthma for a majority of my life, and I learned a bit too late that most of asthma medication was <em>very</em> corrosive on my enamel. Years and years of trying to get my second-rate lungs to work had led to extremely weak teeth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 5+ years of braces and retainers as a teen, I avoided any unnecessary dentist visits… until now. My weak teeth finally started getting to me, and the pain had become unbearable. The good news? I finally got some insurance that covers dental, and my smile no longer scares small children! The bad news? Insurance didn’t cover much, and when I got my ass in the dental chair, my mouth was worse than expected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear reader, I hope that you find bullet points exciting; cause I have so much wrong with my teeth that it can be put into a convenient and easy to ready list:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>~ The Problems ~</em></strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>three teeth needed root canals
</li>
<li>a crown from a childhood root canal had to be redone
</li>
<li>two wisdom teeth still need be to extracted, one of which broke in half this week...
</li>
<li>5+ cavities needing to be taken care of
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So as you can see, it’s! Not great! I’ve been in the dentist’s chair every two weeks for the past couple of months now, and it’s truly getting to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m thankful that my insurance covers most of the costs (it would’ve cost over $10,000 without it), but since said insurance is provided through the state... it doesn’t cover much. I still have over $4000 remaining, not to mention all the work time that I’ve lost to spending time recovering / having work done. I am a self employed artist and small business owner, and have started looking for a 2nd job to help cover these expenses. I was already struggling to pay bills month to month… so this was the final nail in the coffin. That brings us here, to GoFundMe - America’s #1 healthcare provider for unfortunate blokes like me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why should you lend a hand with my dental problems, you may ask? Well, here’s just a few reasons:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>There is a possibility that you have money and I do not. The odds are quite likely!
</li>
<li>AAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAH THE PAIN WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME TOOTH PAIN COULD BE THIS BAD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
</li>
<li>I need to eat food to live, and teeth help me eat food.
</li>
<li>I had to open a medical credit account to pay for the procedures, and I haven’t been able to afford the monthly minimums… which, unfortunately, is currently tanking my credit score. I want that balance outta there asap.
</li>
<li>I host a podcast, and I can assure you that podcasts are easier to make when you are free from mouth pain.
</li>
<li>AAAAAAAAH DID I MENTION THE PAIN?
</li>
<li>Donations of any sort would make me smile! And good teeth make for a good smile :)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pictured above is an image of me* free from my medical bill shackles (*person in picture is absolutely not me.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite these challenges, I'm trying my best to hang on. I'm afraid to ask for help, but I'm truly struggling, and I want get myself out of this pit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've enjoyed my art over the years, I humbly ask for any support you can provide. Every little bit counts too; for some perspective, if each of my Twitter follows tossed me one dollar, I'd have this all completely covered. I'd be free from this debt, and I could spend more time and energy going back to creating what I love. So seriously - Anything helps!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for making it to the end of all this. I appreciate every single person who’s spent their time with me and my artwork, and want to keep sharing said artwork with the world. Let's keep these bones in my jaw and my ass off the streets!
</div>
