UPDATE: MEDICAL DENTAL EMERGENCY:

As of today 1/18/2026 I have multiple tooth infections and am on antibiotics. I have spent years with bad teeth, due to genetics, medications for other health issues, hormones, vitamin D deficiency and depression that lead to neglect for almost 2 years. It's incredibly embarrassing and even more painful. I have a dentist appointment scheduled for 1/19/2026 to have xrays, a consultation to to go over a treatment plan (which will be 22 extractions and dentures but at this point in time I'm more focused on extractions and getting my oral health in order so that it doesn't spread to other areas of my body). I DO NOT LIKE TO DEPEND ON ANYONE but I'm trying to put my health first so I can be there for my kids and my animals rather than sick, in pain and bed ridden. I'm praying so very hard to be able to just come up with the down payment for the financing option the dentist gives me. I won't know what that will be until tomorrow and I will update with photos, then.

There is a picture in the updates section of me in my current state. ive never done a single illegal substance and I know that's what people may think, but this is just what nature has done and it began after I had my first child.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR!!

(All previous donations that are showing have been put towards stopping the disconnection of utilities in August, THANK YOU SO MUCH!)

Hello and thank you for taking the time to even read my story.

It's long...I apologize.

In April of this years I had to borrow money because I do not have the credit to get financed for 2 major home repairs that totaled $2800 and $680. I am on a fixed income due to my disability and don't have any other source of income. Because of the loan, I couldn't pay my utilities and still have not been able to.

In June, I was in the hospital for my first "serious" health issue and had to then go for a follow up with a doctor and have another coming up. My Medicare DID cover 80% of my medical bills .

Ive never in my life been in such a financial hardship, and I'm scared, I'm worried and I'm very stressed out. I have a 16 year old son and an 11 year old bonus son who lives with me. Whom I have to provide for and support.

My utilities are scheduled to be disconnected. My bank account is in the negative as of now because I had to purchase some household necessities and groceries.

It makes me sick to my stomach to have to ask for help from anyone personally. I know everyone is struggling in some way and I'm so very sorry! Any contribution helps. It builds and then hopefully I will never have to ask for help again! At least any time soon. Then, I can pay it forward every chance I get. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your time. I'm very very appreciative.
