Over the past few years, I’ve gone through a lot of loss and life changes. I’ve lost close family members, had to move and leave behind things I loved, and experienced trauma that I’m still working through. Right now, I’m facing a dental emergency. I have two infected teeth that can’t be saved and need to be removed. While I’m working with a clinic to make the extractions as affordable as possible, the cost of replacing those teeth is something I can’t manage on my own. This goal will help cover a temporary replacement (flipper) and follow-up care after my extractions. I’m currently without a job or a strong support system, and I’ll be going through this process largely on my own. I also live with complex PTSD, which makes tooth extractions especially difficult and overwhelming. On top of the physical pain, I’m struggling with fear about how this will affect my appearance and confidence. This situation has been incredibly stressful, and I’m doing my best to move forward and rebuild my life. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this, would mean so much to me. It would help me get through this safely and give me the chance to focus on healing and getting back on my feet. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give.
