help lyle pay off dental debt

Hi friends,

Last year (2022), my partner Lyle's tooth shattered and left them in severe pain. The total cost of surgery to get the tooth removed & the dental implant to prevent bone loss in their jaw totaled about $5000.

Now they need another $900 to finally get their replacement tooth implant. This is on top of the existing 5k debt that we have not been able to put much of a dent in. Despite our best efforts the past year has been a series of unexpected financial issues and we have been just barely scraping by.

We cannot afford the $900 remaining balance for Lyle to get their tooth implant. That's my #1 goal for this fundraiser, so that we can at least get them their implant and move on from this. We also really need help paying down the 5k debt. It's been a huge source of stress for us both, and I really don't want Lyle to have to carry this debt around anymore. They're an amazing and talented person and it really hurts me that I can't just..cover this for them. So.. here I am.

If we somehow managed to get all of this dental debt paid off, which would be incredible!! anything extra would be put toward other debts we have - both of our savings have been totally drained and we'd love to be able to rebuild that again. Any little bit helps. Thank you!!
