Hi, my name is Emily and I'm raising funds to help my amazing brother, Jordan, get some much needed dental work done!
Jordan is one of the most hardworking people I have ever known. He is dedicated and thoughtful and knows how to grind. He always shows up and always gets the work done, not to mention he is the BEST brother and Uncle you could imagine. He is the type of brother who sees me landscaping in the background of a friend's snapchat, and shows up 15 minutes later with work boots and a shovel to help me. He is the definition of a Funcle!! He loves his nephews so much and is always the first person to spend time with them, babysit, and take them on little adventures.
Jordan has all the best qualities you can imagine, despite having had a life of hard knocks. He had a hard time growing up, struggled in his teens and 20s, and still managed to pull himself out of some really dark and tough situations. We are close in age and were very close socially, and as teens he protected me countless times in dangerous situations (think of the perfect tough and protective older brother cliche - scaring off dangerous men, physically picking me up and walking me out of shady house parties, etc.). He can be thanked single handedly for keeping me from the same difficulties he suffered through as a young adult. He worked so hard building his way up in a great company for 8 years, only to be let go during COVID layoffs. Prior to COVID, he had a serious breakup that left him broke and taken advantage of. She even stole his dog. Like so many of us, he struggled to gain employment for two years after COVID layoffs and made ends meet doing odd jobs and ranch hand work for cash. Even during that time, he would come over and help me with projects and upkeep around the house several times a week (I had two new babies at home and struggled with PPD). He is now employed again and has such solid plans for his future!!
Jordan has so much love to give, and has so many amazing opportunities awaiting him in life. There has always been one thing standing in his way. His teeth. He needs all his teeth pulled and replaced with dental implants. His current teeth cause him a lot of pain, and he has to adjust so much of his life around his teeth and the pain they cause him. Aside from the discomfort they are causing, it is the source of tremendous anxiety and takes its toll on his confidence. He only smiles with his mouth closed, he speaks in a way that covers his teeth as much as possible, and he lacks the confidence to date or meet new people because his mouth affects him so much.
The dental work he needs will cost upwards of 25k, and it has just simply been unfeasible for him to pay for, or go into debt for. Jordan has helped me so much in life, and I want nothing more than to be able to help him in return! Jordan has SO many amazing things waiting for him in life, and I want him to be able to experience them with excitement and confidence! Please help me get Jordan new teeth!!! You will be providing a life changing procedure to someone who deserves a big win in life!!
Thank you so much in advance! Let's do something amazing for someone who deserves it!

Teaching his nephews all about Lego!

Nature walks and frog hunting!

The handsome man himself!

Look how happy he makes his nephews! Magic chair airplane rides.

When I was postpartum and struggling with PPD, he would come over several times per week and baby-wear my clingy infant for hours so I could get a break.

Taking the nephews on adventures!

Teaching fire safety!

We look alike - the world misses his smile!

Three days before my first craft market with my small business, I cried on the phone because I was stressed and had no way to display my items in the tiny space I was given. He showed up the next day with tools and built be a custom 7-foot arched pegboard that free stands. I still use it to this day.

He has doted on his nephews from day one.
