Ofelia needs our help
Donation protected
I am starting this gofundme for my sister Ofelia Saucedo, she is 53 years old, resident of Illinois, was married never worked doesnt drive, she always took care of her family, very devoted to her family and home never about her. Ofelia recently has gotten divorced. She is now on her own with little spousal support. She wants to desperately get a job and be independent, she has some challenges ahead, one of the biggest is her confidence. Let me explain why we need your help and why her confidence is hurting. Ofelia lost her teeth at a young age, they were all extracted 3 years ago, Medicaid covered it but won’t cover the type of dentures Ofelia needs or the implants. Due to her eating without teeth her gums are now worn out and her bone is receding. Imagine not been able to eat the foods you love at her age! Ofelia has been blending some of her food.
On July 18, 2020 I took Ofelia to Cunning Dental Group to be evaluated and get a quote, after the evaluation we were presented with two quotes.
Quote one for $28,000 this covers regular snap on dentures, the other one for $54000. We will not know which one suitable for Ofelia until they do the MRI to know exactly how much bone they have to work with, until then we will not know the exact price.
We are looking into to the option of having it done in Tijuana, or Loma Linda has a long waiting time.
When we were given the quotes Ofelia stared crying, I felt hopeless, it was sad to see my sister cry, the price figure was much more than what we had in our minds?
This is not about vanity this is about her health, the longer she goes without dentures the more damage to her gums and bone, her quality of life would be so much better. At the moment she has to blend most of her food. Please Urgently help our sister get her dignity back.
