Hi, my name is Leah. I am a full time visual merchandiser for a large corporation and a part time restaurant host at a local establishment. I am type one diabetic, but never allow that to define who I am. I am a lover of all things crafty and thrifty. I love to spend my time crocheting, drawing the restaurant’s chalk signs, and spending time outside. I live with my boyfriend and our three cats. ‍

I have been trying so hard to keep up with my finances, hence why I have two jobs. I just cannot seem to make ends meet lately, and things are piling up quickly.

I recently went to the periodontist and discovered that I need quite the dental procedure done. I am in need of a major extraction, requiring bone grafting, tooth removal, implant, and a crown. This procedure will take about a year in total to complete, and cost me roughly $4000 after insurance. This does not include the time I will have to be away from work.

I found this news out after discovering that a necessary repair on my car will cost me over $1000. I am trying my best to stay afloat in these trying times.

I appreciate anything you are able to give. Thank you endlessly!
