Hi, my name is Janyce and I’m fundraising for my sister, Jaime! I’m looking for some much needed support to help bring Jaime’s smile back!!

Here’s her story…. My sister, unfortunately, has been suffering. Her teeth were always bothering her, they were breaking, she is always in pain, and the pain is so bad at times, that she literally, is unable to function. She’s been to the dentist for help and there was never anything they could do that would last long term. The decision was made, for my sister to have ALL of her teeth extracted at the hospital and to be fitted for dentures. She was hesitant as this would be life changing for her, however, she knew that this was her only option and it was the same option our mother had at very young age as well.

She had her oral surgery on the 21st of February, and has been doing ok with her recovery. She misses eating real food and has been living off of smoothies, soups, yogurt, and other soft foods for her diet.

Today she had her first appointment with the denturist and was happy that things will change for her. She was happy, because things have been very difficult for her and isn’t smiling and her mental health has been depleting due to the way she looks and feels others are always looking and laughing at her.

My sister left the dentures appointment today in tears because she was told that she would have to pay close to $6500 to have those dentures made for her. Unfortunately, the medical coverage that she has (through being in disability) will only cover $1350 And that’s already included in the quote she received today for the $6500. My sister is a single mom, is only able to work part time and is being supplemented financially through disability. Jaime has absolutely no way of coming up with this kind of money on her own, and we as a family, have nowhere else to turn but to ask for support from you!

This is also time sensitive as her jaw is already beginning to drop. I spoke with the denturist this afternoon, on behalf of my sister, and they told me that until this is paid in full, they
cannot begin the process.

Please help! I’m asking for you to donate what you can to help bring my sister smile back. This is definitely something that we can’t cover alone and we are needing your support. We also understand that times are tough these days for everybody, however, any little bit, and every little bit will help.

Thank you in advance for your support.

❤️ Janyce

and an even bigger thank you
from my sister

❤️ Jaime
