Please help my Mom get the smile she deserves.

Hello everyone,
I am kindly asking for help and support for my lovely and supportive mom, Maria A Castro.
Sadly, my mother was raised in a physically abusive environment and suffered at the hands of her stepdad in a way that no child should have to. At the age of 8, he chose to hit her so hard in the face that he broke and knocked out her 2 front teeth. Her family didn’t have the resources to take her to the dentist immediately and it has been an ongoing issue since then. They ultimately were about to get her a front dental crown but instead of helping the situation, it only made it worst. Due to poor dental work which was all that they could afford at the time and damage from her father, eventually she lost 12 of her front teeth by the age of 62. And without proper dental work it has also made it difficult for her to eat.
At this age, she has also developed diabetes which has made it difficult for her to work and save for proper crown work from a dental specialist.
For those of you who know my mother, she is the warmest, kindest, hardworking woman I know. She is always smiling and laughing so it pains me to see that the radiance that comes from her being is also a source of pain and discomfort.
I am asking my friends and family to help me make my mother smile again with pride! Any money you can donate will be greatly appreciated. The money will be used to get her the proper surgery that should have been done over 50 years ago and will allow my mother to eat and enjoy life again!
