Help Kenzi afford medical emergency jaw surgery!

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am Kenzi! I have a rare disease called Gorlin goltz syndrome. Which means internally, I can grow cysts that turn to tumors. When I was 13 I had a surgery to remove one of those cystic tumors from inside my jaw. With it, they took a whole lot of jawbone and teeth from the upper left. Although I knew about the teeth, I didn’t know about the jawbone until 15 years later, last year, when I started getting reoccurring gum infections. After going to 8 emergency room visits, multiple antibiotics, and 2 dentists, I found out that I not only have a deteriorated almost nonexistent upper jawbone, it has also developed a cyst that needs to be removed and that is attached from my back molar/gum all the way to my sinus. This means I will need not only to remove the cyst, but to also do a jaw bone grafting to actually have a separation between my gum/jaw and my sinus. My sinus has deteriorated drastically due to the infection eating away at it which can be a huge hazard because the next time an infection occurs, it has a high risk of reaching my brain. This is absolutely terrifying to go through and unfortunately, the health care system in Florida does not seem to care. They do not accept my disability health insurance nor dental insurance nor does this surgeon have any payment plans. I’ve had no luck with care credit either. And because I’ve been trying to take care of bills, my rabbits, save money to ship orders out to customers for my business, for Uber cost to go to the hospitals and to afford medications and treatments, I have ran out of money and I am stuck with a whole bunch of credit card debt. Not only that but in order for me to afford the surgery, I need to see a surgeon that was recommended to me by the ER, the consultation is $180, the CT scan is $350, the cyst removal is $1,800 and the bone grafting is estimated to be $2,500. Anything of the remaining amount, I believe I can work hard to raise, as I have been working overtime, however any help that I can get would mean the world in order to be able to save what’s left of my jaw and not end up horribly disfigured and face severe long-term health issues that is lethal and life-threatening. Anyone that donates to me will receive discounts of my pieces, just let me know! I want to show however much support back. You would be literally saving my life.
