Help Kevin get his smile back!

Donation protected
Hello everyone! We've lost an incredible amount of friends in various different ways over the past 15 years. More than anyone should lose. Each time, I've found myself thinking... "I WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO HELP!" Well... here is our chance to do something. Kevin Gruber needs your help! Kevin was recently diagnosed with a rare disease called Ameloblastoma. He has 4 tumors that stretch across his lower jawline. The tumors are not cancerous but it is locally aggressive and destroying the bone in his lower jaw. In some instances, Amelobltastoma can be deadly. The tumors can grow to a size so big that they restrict airflow. We need to help our friend! He will need 2 surgeries to repair the damage. The first surgery will remove the tumors and place a titanium plate in. The second surgery will be to remove bone from the hip to replace the segment of jawbone destroyed by the disease. After this surgery, his jaw will be wired shut for 4-6 weeks. The possibility of dental implants after the jawline is repaired is possible but in the Ameloblastoma Circles, insurance does not cover this.



This surgery will cost approximately $35,000! (Our goal is set at 38,5 to cover the fees from GoFundMe) Kevin desperately needs your help to raise money and have these surgeries done.. We believe that with your help we can give Kevin a reason to smile again!!

Here are 3 Ways you can Help:

1.) SHARE!!!! There is Power in Sharing! Please Share this via your social media, email, and Word of Mouth! Wherever you can find a place to share his story we would be extremely grateful

2.) GIVE!!! No amount is too small! We are grateful that you are willing to help Kevin out!

3.) PRAY!! This one is most important! Your prayers can help in ways you may not be able to imagine! Pray that everything concerning the upcoming surgeries goes well and that Kevin can use what he's been through to help others!
Please please please... we can't let another friend suffer knowing we could have done something to help. If you'd like more information on Ameloblastoma... we've provided a link. You can google it too. There are blogs everywhere of people who've gone through this and their healing journey.
Thank you so much for your time!
