^das my face, ain’t it neat??

EDIT: As of Nov 13th, I had my first surgery! It went very smooth. Thank you so much for the financial support that helped me pay for my braces and my first surgery :) Next on Mid January and early February: Spacer/Bracework


Edit 5/1: Braces are 4 months in place! Next is bone grafting surgery. I will be having it around Mid May. Which will be $2k...I only have a copy of my estimate at the moment. Will have official document shortly. 

 

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read my GoFundMe Request.

As many of you may know, I am not typically the type the person to ask for help (best/worst trait of mine). However, friends, I do truly in the most desperate way need help, and unfortunately, I could use as much as your generosity may allow.

To make a long story short, I need oral surgery in order to secure my oral health for the remainder of most of my adult years, and I absolutely cannot say no. I have had upper dentures since I was 19 (now 26) due to years of excruciating mouth pain and genetics.  I am suffering from severe bone shrinkage in my upper jaw, some partial in my lower, and will need both bone and gum grafting and zygomatic implants so I don’t lose any more support for my teeth and can keep a healthy jaw with the help of my cheekbones. (Would not recommend “Google-ing” what the heck that is for the faint of heart!) If I lose support, I will eventually lose the support to speak, eat, and have difficulties drinking. Unfortunately, there is very little that insurance will cover since they view most of this procedure as being “cosmetic”, because for some ungodly reason, dental health is not considered health care.

Before COVID I worked around 5 different jobs to save up money. Unfortunately, I lost most of my savings due to a Hit-and-Run this past August 2020, making my vehicle non-operable and having to replace it. I am now starting again from scratch, and don’t have as much supplemental income support as I did before COVID. I also have a cash app $ climbing santosha (no space) if you feel more comfortable donating there since Go Fund Me takes some percentage forprofit. 

I am also taking this opportunity up to take up any odd-job.  I have several professional references that guarantee my grit :)

Yard work.
Shoveling in winter time.
Housecleaning/Organize.
Babysit.
Cook you dinner.
Bake you treats.
Walking your dogs. Loving your dogs.
Pet sitting.
Private Yoga Lessons. Either in person or online.
Personal Uber (Full coverage—you safe boo.)
I love art and would love to do commissions! Check out some of the things I’ve made on my Insta Digital, acrylic, watercolour, polymer clay jewelry, polymer clay anything, macrame. Coasters? Why the heck not.
Be your thrifting assistant.
Tell you you’re beautiful.
Come up with a job, and we’ll collaborate.

Thank you so incredibly much!
