Hey Everyone, I am normally way too proud to do something like this, but unfortunately, I am running out of options. Those that know me know that I have been undergoing some health problems lately, and if you have known me for a while, you know my teeth have been a constant fight for about 15 years now. Well, it has come to light that a lot of my health problems could possibly be coming from my teeth as I have several tooth abscesses in my mouth. They can't at this time guarantee that that is what's causing everything, but until I can get it fixed, they can't rule it out.

Over the last couple of months, I have been dealing with heart arrhythmias, high blood pressure that cannot be controlled with medication, numbness in arms and legs, shortness of breath, dizziness, and intense headaches. After ruling out blockages, spinal abscesses, blood clots, and a few other things, my doctor discovered that my mouth is badly infected, and other than prescribing antibiotics, the hospital can't really do much unless I get to the point of near death. All the dental schools I qualify to go to all have very long waiting lists. I don't have dental insurance, but the prices of the work I need done with and without insurance are about the same. I did not get approved for a care credit card, and with all the health issues I have had, I have missed a lot of work, so just staying afloat right now is difficult.

My goal is to try to raise some funds to get the oral surgery I will need. Affordable Dentures does the teeth removal and the dentures (it would be great to smile again without embarrassment lol). Like I mentioned, I would normally be too proud to ask for help, but my only goal is to make sure I am around to watch Trevor grow into a young man. All the work I need is going to cost me over 10 grand I am sure, but my hope is that if I can get a good amount of it, I will be able to put it down and pay off the rest in installments. Please only donate if you are able. I am not expecting anything from anyone; I just thought this was worth a shot.

update: i have been to the dentist and he confirmed how dire the situation is. He said the infection will likely kill me without intervention soon. but I cannot find a place that will do itbwithout javing the funds up front. i will need roughly 7-10 grand. feeling more and more defeated everyday.
