A new SMILE for John - Una nueva SONRISA para John

Donation protected
Our dad, John Stelly, is a great guy who has fallen on hard times in recent years. He is still living on his own in the Cuernavaca area and for the most part has a good thing going. We are incredibly grateful for all the support many of you gave to get a safe space to store his belongings and move him into an appropriate living space. We are doing our best to make sure that his basic needs are being taken care of. As many of you know, John needs new teeth. He has lost nearly all of his upper teeth and molars and it is impacting his ability to get proper nutrition. John has made several attempts at getting his teeth fixed, but inevitably the cost of treatment has meant he hasn't been able to finish. He has recently started seeing a new dentist friend of his, who is willing to work with us on payment installments and finally get John's teeth fixed. Many of you have expressed the desire to help, but weren't sure how to go about it. We are putting out this GoFundMe in an effort for folks to be able to help in an easy and transparent way. It is going to be a year long process, or so, and we will post updates as his treatment progresses. Please share this with anyone who you think might be willing to help. We can't begin to thank everyone enough for the emotional and financial support. I hope that as a team we all can help John improve his quality of life.

Thank you 

The Stelly Siblings. 

Nuestro padre, John Stelly ha atravesado por tiempos difíciles en los últimos años. Esta viviendo solo en una casita en Chiconquac y por lo general vive una vida relativamente cómoda y sencilla. Estamos increíblemente agradecidos por todo el apoyo que muchos de ustedes brindaron para conseguir un espacio seguro para guardar sus pertenencias y trasladarlo a un espacio habitable apropiado. Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para asegurarnos de que se atiendan sus necesidades básicas. Como muchos de ustedes saben, John necesita dientes nuevos. Ha perdido casi todos los dientes superiores y los molares, lo que está afectando su capacidad para obtener una nutrición adecuada. John ha hecho varios intentos para que le arreglen los dientes, pero inevitablemente el costo del tratamiento ha significado que no ha podido terminar. Recientemente ha comenzado a ver a un nuevo dentista amigo suyo, que está dispuesto a trabajar con nosotros en pagos a plazos y finalmente arreglarle los dientes a John. Muchos de ustedes han expresado el deseo de ayudar, pero no estaban seguros de cómo hacerlo. Estamos publicando este GoFundMe en un esfuerzo para que la gente pueda ayudar de una manera fácil y transparente. Va a ser un proceso de un año, más o menos, y publicaremos actualizaciones a medida que avance su tratamiento. Porfavor compartan esta campaña con cualquier persona  podría estar dispuesta a ayudar. No podemos agradecer a todos lo suficiente por el apoyo emocional y financiero. Espero que, como equipo, todos podamos ayudar a John a mejorar su calidad de vida.

Muchisimas Gracias 

Los Hermanos Stelly
