Hi, my name is Joy, and I’m reaching out with a bit of vulnerability and a lot of hope.
For over 8 years, I’ve struggled with severe dental anxiety. It kept me from getting the care I needed, even as I knew my dental health was getting worse. Facing that fear hasn’t been easy, but I’ve finally found the courage to go back to the dentist—and I’m proud of that step.
Now, I have a treatment plan and a compassionate dentist who understands my anxiety. The full cost to get my dental health back on track is $4,000. I’ve got dental insurance, and I’m budgeting as best I can—I’ll be able to contribute $2,000 on my own. But I’m asking for help to raise the remaining $2,000 so I can begin treatment as soon as possible.
This isn’t just about teeth—it’s about getting back to health, comfort, and confidence. It’s about being able to smile freely, enjoy meals without pain, and feel like myself again.
If you can donate, share, or send some encouragement my way, it would mean the world. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me take this next brave step.
With gratitude,
Joy
