Help Rohan Restore His Smile
Donation protected
My name is Rohan and I just moved out on my own. On my fifth night in my new place, my roommates and I were jumping to see if we could touch the ceiling. When it was my turn, I jumped up and came down face-first on the TV, knocking out two of my front teeth and chipping a third tooth. Unfortunately, we were misinformed by the fire department to avoid the ER as they'd turn us away to find an emergency dentist. What we didn't know at the time was there aren't really any 24-hour emergency dentists (after searching throughout the night) and by the time we made it to a dentist when they opened in the morning, it was too late to re-implant the avulsed teeth; the roots had died.
I live independent of my biological family and rely on medi-cal for insurance. I just got a new job, but haven't started yet, and even when I do, it will barely cover my rent and basic needs.
My smile is one of the things I love most about myself. I'm a Theater Major and being on stage is something I've looked forward to for a long time. This semester, I auditioned - less than 24 hours after the incident (I was determined not to miss it) - and was cast in my first production. I am thrilled for this opportunity, but performing with missing teeth is not how I pictured the beginning of my acting career going.
I would be extremely grateful to you if you could chip in - every penny counts. If you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this is just as helpful!
Thank you,
Rohan
