<div><strong>My name is Austin Klavsons and I’m raising money for my aunt Kim and Crohn's awareness.</strong> My aunt Kim is a 60-year-old mother of two, a proud Native American woman, a college graduate, and one of the hardest-working (and funniest) people I know.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>For years, Kim has been battling Crohn’s disease and other chronic health issues. </strong>Because Crohn’s severely limits nutrient absorption and often requires long-term medications that weaken bones and gums, it has slowly destroyed her dental health.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>And now, she is losing her teeth.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’ve all had that nightmare where your teeth fall out. Now imagine that nightmare becoming real and knowing you can’t afford a solution.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kim is currently out of work due to her illness and living on a very limited income - relying on Medicare which does not cover dentures or essential dental care.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>This procedure is not cosmetic.</strong> Dentures would give Kim the ability to eat, regain her health, and live with dignity.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Funds raised will go directly toward:</strong>

</div>

<ul>

<li><strong>Dental care and dentures</strong>

</li>

<li><strong>Medical follow-ups</strong>

</li>

<li><strong>Basic living support during recovery</strong>

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean the world to our family. Every bit helps bring my aunt Kim's smile back.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you so much,

</div>

<div>Austin
