I am desperately seeking help to fix my teeth, which are decaying from years of much needed dental work I simply cannot afford. The pain and constant decay have become a daily struggle, and I refuse to remove my teeth and walk around without any. I try everything I can to defy the inevitable, but it’s weighing heavily on my health and spirit. I know I deserve help, but it’s hard to know who to ask or who will care enough to lend a hand. I’ve tried and tried, and at this point, I feel like there’s no reason to be excited about life anymore without my smile. It’s heartbreaking that this is happening, and I’ve exhausted every option I can think of.

Getting my health restored is simple: I need to get my teeth removed and replaced with upper and lower arches, as recommended by many professionals. This is the only procedure that will help me regain my optimal health, my smile, and my confidence. It will enable me to return to the workforce, where I help others as a patient care technician for the geriatric population. With your support, I’ll be able to pay it forward for the greater good. The funds raised will go directly toward dental restoration at Clear Choice in San Jose, California, at the Alameda location.

Please be so kind—if there is anything you can do to help me continue to want to live this life with my smile intact, I would be so grateful. I sacrificed for my boys to have a great start in life, and now that they are grown and doing well, I need a little help for myself. Time is against me, and I’m exhausted and heartbroken that I don’t have the money required for such treatment. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to me, and I hope you’ll consider supporting or sharing my story. Thank you for reading and for caring.
