Genetics have dictated that now is the time for my teeth to start failing me all at once. I'm going to need all my front teeth replaced. The insurance company is holding my mouth hostage for between $3,000 and $6,000. The low end if I go with a composite material and have grey teeth, the high end if I opt for porcelain and have teeth that look like teeth.

Being on a fixed income already leaves me living thanks to the generosity of family, without which I would in no way be able to afford to continue on with any semblance of dignity. This new medical absurdity may very well ensure that I'm never able to bring myself to solvency and be able to stop relying so much on family, or have to sacrifice my teeth (since the medical industry treats them like they're a luxury item).

I know that times are tough all around, and I really don't know that anything makes me more deserving of your help than anyone else. However, I'm asking for it, because I don't see any other option. Every little bit helps and is appreciated more than I could possibly say. Please keep me in your thoughts. Help if you can.

Thanks for everything.
