Helping fix my smile from illness

Donation protected
Hi everyone! Most people know me as the crazy exotic animal rescue and education lady. I normally am running around saving animals and educating people about them. Over the years I've survived three forms of cancer, endometriosis that grew up around other organs, a ruptured appendix, broken bones, ruptured parts, and still live with migraines and other issues. Because of all the treatments and medications, my teeth have become brittle and have broken and fallen out over the years. I've been told for many years that I'd have to wait because I had this or that which was more pressing to deal with or I wasn't healthy enough to get them done. So I focused on the animals, sucked it up, put a smile on, and kept going. The night of Sunday May 10 the last teeth I had whole broke and abscesses showed up making my whole face swell. I spent most of Monday on the phone while doing my work trying to find a dentist that would see me while my regular doctor got me on antibiotics immediately. On Wednesday I went in to see the dentist and surgeon, which went well. He's going to actually work with my health and get the teeth removed and then do dentures. He removed three of the worst teeth right then and will be figuring out a plan for the rest. I've been dealing with bad teeth about 20 years now and I can't imagine anymore what it would be like to have no pain in my mouth and to be able to chew properly. Now with that said, I'm asking for help. Most of my money coming in goes to the rescue and the rest to support the household bills, I really will need assistance. With not being able to do education and other events to raise funds for the rescue, things are beyond tight for me so paying for this isn't in the budget, though I need it to get myself healthy. Now that I've found a dentist who will work with me, I'd really like to get this taken care of as quickly as possible. If you would consider donating to help me, I'd truly appreciate it. If you donate a larger amount and would like me to bring the animals by a children's party or other event when it's safe to do so, I'll gladly do that for you! If you can't afford to help, please share. Every little bit helps. thanks for reading my ramble.
