Help with jaw and bone reconstruction

I'm reaching out today to share my story and ask for your help. This past summer, I experienced two massive seizures that resulted in the loss of four of my front upper teeth and a severely fractured upper jaw. I've been working with an oral surgeon to plan a procedure to reconstruct my upper jaw and do bone grafts. Unfortunately, my medical and dental insurances cannot be used for this type of procedure and I've been unable to find a surgeon who will accept my Humana Medicare. This is a medical emergency and without these procedures, I risk further complications such as infection and necrosis. I need $11K for the reconstruction and implants. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Your support means the world to me!

I wanted to update everyone on me finally reaching my Phase 1 procedure which requires a $3500 payment on the day of the procedure which is March 8th. I still have a long way to go. After Phase 1, I will need between 6-9 months of full recovery before I qualify for the implant surgery. The implant surgery is estimated to reach $7,000 and would be very appreciative if you can please please please continue to contribute or at least share this campaign. It means a lot!
