I always do my best to take care of everything myself and not ask for help. But I'm coming here now because I really don't know what else to do and I need any help I can get.

2 months ago, I was diagnosed with hereditary periodontal disease and was told the bone in my jaws is deteriorating and that the only solution left to me now is either dental implants or dentures to stop the progression of the disease. Unfortunately, insurance still views this as a cosmetic surgery and is refusing to cover any of it, which means I have to pay for all of it out of pocket.

While I was able to get a good bit of it paid for, I just don't have the means to finish paying it off. This is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety, and even more so because I now need to ask for help. If you know me, then you will understand how scared I am and how much all of this is affecting me.

Please, if you can help, I would have no words to tell you how grateful I am. And if not, please just share it and I thank you for your support. I'm trying to be healthy and to be the best me I can, and right now I just feel like I'm not getting there. Thank you and I love you all.
