Help Kat and Anthony Overcome Health & Life Challenges

Donation protected
Thank you for reading this. My name is Anthony and I'm looking for any help for my wife, Kat. After years of trying to make it through difficult times and piling medical bills I've finally broke down and we're seeking some help.

My wife Kat suffers from an ongoing battle with bone issues, including osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis along with a history of chronic depression. She has been fighting this battle since she was 12 years old and with the degeneration/teeth loss people have assumed the worst of her, assuming her teeth are from hard drug use, which she's never done. Due to these issues her teeth and jaw have become incredibly frail, painful, and prone to infection. Over the past few years we have been to numerous dentists for quick extractions+drainage, and specialist to see what our next options are and unfortunately only 4 of her teeth might be able to be saved, along with a not common surgery for an implant called a KLS Hybrid a titanium skull plate that would hold her implant in place with 4-6 weeks of recovery. Her other option is a year of recovery involving a bone graft from her hip and cow bone to reinforce her jaw so she might be able to have an "All in One" implant. Both options are incredibly expensive and have their own risks involved since her bones are already frail. We've attempted to look into dentures but they fear it would accelerate her degeneration. (My wife asked me to put a Viewer discretion for the photos)

During our time trying to stay afloat health wise we've had life circumstances dragging us under. We moved back to my home in California to have better resources and support among family, and unfortunately our elderly roommate moved out unexpectedly, leaving us with her rent portion. Additionally I had my own emergency dental procedure that required surgery to remove, every time we are about to have our heads above water something drags us back down.

Every single day feels like an invisible countdown to her problem becoming a bigger and deadly issue that we won't be able to ignore. If you're able to help us in anyway, from sharing, commenting, or posting to spread the word we would deeply appreciate it.

Every donation from $.01+ is beyond appreciated and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We've set the goal for the total needed for the surgery, recovery, and the expenses that will incur while she is recovering while also helping us get out from the hole were in financially from unexpected expenses.

Thank you.

From,
Anthony and Kat
