My name is Zahra, and I’m raising funds for my brother, Ali. He is in urgent need of complex dental implants that will cost $80,000, a procedure not covered by insurance. Our family is doing everything we can to help, but we simply cannot cover the cost alone.

Ali’s Story

When Ali was in his 20s, his life changed in an instant. His truck was T-boned by a driver who ran a stop sign and fled the scene. The airbags failed to deploy, and even though he was wearing his seatbelt, the impact shattered his jaw and most of his teeth.

At the hospital, Ali didn’t have adequate insurance. Instead of reconstructive surgery, doctors recommended pulling his broken teeth and giving him dentures, without warning him of the long-term damage this would cause.

The Struggle Since Then

Ali has spent the past two decades wearing dentures. Over time, they caused severe bone loss, leaving his jaw splintered, fragile, and incredibly painful. His nerves are now so close to the surface of his gums that wearing dentures is unbearable. Simple implants won’t work, his condition requires complex reconstructive implants to stop further bone loss and allow him to chew without pain.

Today, at 42 years old, Ali lives with daily, excruciating pain. Eating is almost impossible, which affects his ability to work and has taken a huge toll on his mental health. He has only ever had two sets of dentures, both poorly fitted due to insurance limitations. He can no longer rely on them, and without this surgery, he faces worsening pain and bone deterioration.

Why We Need Help

The only solution is complex dental implant surgery, but the cost is staggering: $80,000. This procedure would give Ali back the ability to eat, work, smile, and truly live again.

Our family is contributing everything we can, but it’s not enough. That’s why we’re asking for your help.
