Hi. My name is PEGGY TRAHAN. I'm a 63 year old single woman. Each month, I survive only on Social Security. Yet still, I have difficulty asking for help. But, I need a very expensive surgery. THIS IS NOT, IN ANY WAY, COSMETIC. The surgery I have to have is serious, complicated and I need it urgently. Last year, I battled so hard for months and months, against a devastating infection. It nearly cost me my life. All of my Drs. and I thought it was finally gone. I had beaten it. It was out of my body and gone forever. After fighting so hard, I was finally healed. So I thought. But, we had not discovered it was still there, hiding. It had become sepsis. And, by that time, it was too late. The infection had invaded and consumed my upper jawbone, my gums and my teeth. IT HAD DESTROYED ALL OF IT! Everything! It's all completely gone. Few dental surgeons will perform this surgery and those who can and will, require the payment for this surgery UP FRONT! $30,000!!! I have no means by which to pay them. No. In this picture, I'm smiling. Now, I no longer smile. I cant. It's taken my Joy in life. Each night, I pray to God for help. I need this surgery badly, but its just too COSTLY. I cry often, especially at night. I've tried for weeks and weeks to talk to, even begging my Medicare insurance for help, but they are refusing to work with me. And, each time I re-post this, it gets harder and harder. My heart is breaking. I cannot do this without your help. I ask you, Please. For those of you who've given, I cannot express how much it means. To say "Thank You" is not nearly enough. If possible, please share this GoFundMe Campaign on your page. Thank you.
