Hello. My name is Rob Velasquez and I am in desperate need of help. As a young child my health was not great. I was constantly on various medications and in and out of hospitals. Due to that and a couple of bad hands that life dealt me, my teeth have become brittle and have been breaking away. My husband and I have been struggling to make ends meet and things keep piling up. I'm a skilled chef, an artist and HIV positive. The health problems caused by my breaking teeth have grown worse and worse. I keep getting infections in my mouth from the deteriorating teeth. The pain has been excruciating and has caused us to sink deeper and deeper into debt.  As of right now I need to get the remaining upper teeth removed and require dentures. Without them I can barely eat and am continously subsceptible to infections. Unfortunately the price tag for the surgery is too much more than we can afford. Because of that I am reaching out to everyone pleading for assistance. I am not one to ask for help but at this point there is no other option. With my teeth being such a mess I dont smile, am embarrased to be seen in public and have been suffering from a great deal of depression. It is imperative that I have this done, Without it my health will continue to worsen and infections will continue to develop which will lead to more and more problems. I can't begin to explain how much I need help. Every time we get ahead something knocks us back. We've tried every other option and now I turn to you the public for help. Please please please anything will help. We've nowhere else to go and can't wait any longer. Please help.
