I am facing a challenging situation that has weighed on me since October 2025. During a routine dental visit, something was found in my gums that needs to be removed and biopsied. The procedure is specialized and cannot be performed by a regular dentist or orthodontist. While I am grateful to have insurance, my portion of the copay is more than I can afford, and the payment must be made in advance. Unfortunately, there are no payment arrangements available, which has added to my stress.

Asking for help is not easy for me. When I shared my situation with my prayer group, a church sister encouraged me to create a GoFundMe. She reminded me of the importance of reaching out, quoting, 'you have none because you ask none.' I work hard, but I have no extra funds to cover this unexpected medical expense. Your support would help me pay for the surgery. The waiting has rapidly made the situation worsen as condition is spreading. . I have set my appointment for April 30 with the faith that I will be able to move ahead with the surgery since I am now feeling the pain and discomfort.

I am humbled to ask for help and grateful for any support, prayers, or kindness you can offer. Thank you for considering my situation and for being part of a caring community.
