My name is Rowan, and I’m reaching out for help after a really tough year. Earlier this year, I was working with my dentist to save a tooth, but after being assaulted at a bar, the situation got much worse. The injury left my tooth badly damaged, and now, without insurance, I’ve had to delay getting it removed. The infection has gotten so severe that the side of my face is swollen, and I can’t even smile. Eating is next to impossible, and working in food service with a swollen face has become extremely difficult and embarrassing.

The pain and swelling are urgent, and I need to get the tooth removed and the infection treated as soon as possible. Without insurance or savings, I can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs for the procedure, medication, and follow-up care. I’m asking for help to cover these medical expenses so I can get healthy and return to work without pain or worry. If you’re able to donate or share my story, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for reading and supporting me during this difficult time.
