My name is Kathryn, and I’m reaching out for help with a dental situation that’s made daily life a real challenge. After years of dental issues, I had all my teeth pulled and received dentures, hoping I’d finally be able to eat normally and regain my confidence. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. I’m still on a soft food diet, cutting everything into tiny pieces just to eat, and the embarrassment of struggling with meals has been tough. The denture glue is another problem—the smell alone makes me gag, and I’ve learned it can even cause cancer. Despite many adjustments, my bite is still off, and my bottom denture broke in half. I worry about talking at work, afraid my dentures will move around or break again.

I work a minimum wage job with no benefits, and most months I’m just scraping by to pay my bills. I’ve tried everything—grants, loans, and other resources—but I keep hitting dead ends. Insurance won’t cover dental implants, which are the only permanent solution. Implants would be a total life changer for me. They’re permanent, have a lifetime guarantee, and would finally let me eat and speak with confidence. Every dollar raised will go directly toward the surgery and the implants themselves.

If you could see it in your heart to help with anything, it would be a blessing. Thank you for your kindness, for taking the time to read my story, and for considering a donation. May God bless you, no matter what. Thank you.
