All my love ❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for coming to our page! My name is Natalie and I am married to an amazing man named Mike. We have a 3 year old son (Luke) who I am a stay at home mom for. My husband is a disabled Veteran that served in the USMC from 2005-2009. Right now, I have chosen not to go back to work because I am the caretaker for our son and putting him in daycare would likely cost over half of my paycheck. Although our family is very low income, we are grateful to have time to spend with each other and our son.
This is definitely not something I ever intended on doing but given our current circumstances and so many of you asking if you could help, I thought I would give it a try. 4 months ago I chipped one of my back teeth while flossing. It immediately started bothering me so I went to have it checked out. At that time, the dentist I saw quoted me a $2800 job that included a root canal and crown placement. I left the building in tears knowing that that wasn’t some thing I was prepared to do. We were denied care credit and the only option at the time was just to wait it out until we could figure out a way to pay for this. I was prescribed antibiotics and the pain went away within the week. Last week I had another flareup which caused me to have a fever and strong bodyaches. I took myself to the ER and they said it was likely a complication from my infected tooth. they gave me additional antibiotics and told me to contact a dentist immediately. I had heard on TikTok about a local dental office (San Antonio Dental Center) and they were willing to see me right away. Dr. Aryan provided me a very large discount for the work at $1600 (4 payments of $400). He is one of the best in our area and I am so grateful for him and his amazing team.
I was hesitant to create this page but received so many positive messages and friends that truly wanted to help us get through this and get this tooth taken care of before any more harm is caused. Any amount is so greatly appreciated and if you are unable to donate your prayers and kind words are just as important.
Thank you so much for your kindness to myself and our family.
With love,
The flexible fam (Mike, Natalie, and Luke)
