Help put a smile back on Emmanuel’s face

This is my 17 year old cousin Emmanuel. Recently he and his friends were involved in an altercation turned set-up where he was seriously injured. Emmanuel is left with his 8 front teeth missing from that heinous attack. His mom, my cousin, Mariam, known as Mymy by her family, friends, and clients is a single mother who works relentlessly to provide for her son and her mother. As a lot of us are, Mymy is all too familiar with the financial devastation this pandemic has placed upon us. Small business owners such as my cousin were unfortunately hit very hard. She has always taken very good care of Emmanuel so that her only son needs and wants for nothing, yet now she is left in a painful, and difficult position to find a way to provide the proper care and services for Emmanuel to receive the 8 dental implants he needs. Mymy has always been that person you can turn to for help of any kind. She would give her last dollar and last meal to a complete stranger. I myself have been on the receiving end of her generosity many times. She has raised a phenomenal boy with an infectious smile. She would never show or say she can use some help, but that’s what family and friends are for. I know it has been a very difficult time for all of us carrying on doing our best through a pandemic, and that’s what Mymy is trying to do on her own when she doesn’t have to. The goal is set based off of Emmanuel’s consultations with an oral surgeon and an orthodontist. If you can find it in your heart to contribute to putting a beautiful smile back on Emmanuel’s face it would mean the absolute world. Thank you and God bless!
