I’m a parent of six children, and over the last six years my body has been through a lot. I’ve developed a calcium deficiency that has severely affected my teeth, and it has become a painful and overwhelming part of my daily life. What started as a health issue has turned into something that impacts not only my physical well-being, but also my confidence and mental health. I’m extremely self-conscious about my smile, and it’s hard to explain how much that affects simple things like talking, laughing, or being in photos with my kids.

I’ve tried to get help, but I was denied dental coverage, and the treatment I need is far beyond what I can afford on my own. Right now, I’m living with constant pain and the emotional weight of feeling embarrassed every day. I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d need to ask others for help, but I’m hoping for support so I can finally get the dental care I need.

Your kindness will help me work toward restoring my teeth, relieving this pain, and giving me the chance to smile again without shame. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to me and my family. Thank you for helping me take a step toward healing and getting my smile back.
