Restore Peggy's Smile: Donate for Dentures

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I’m asking for help for someone who has become one of the biggest blessings in my life—my mom, Peggy.

She’s been sober for 12 years. Our journey hasn’t always been easy—while I primarily lived with my dad growing up, my mom was still part of my life. Years ago, we discovered her struggles with addiction, but that moment became a turning point. She chose recovery and has been committed to it ever since, rebuilding her life with strength and grace.

In October, Peggy made the life-changing decision to retire and move from California to Arizona to help me raise my kids while I pursue my career. Her support has already helped me step into a leadership role I’ve been working hard for. Her presence has made all the difference—not just in my life, but in my children’s.

Now, I want to give something back to her.

She was recently approved for dentures—something that will dramatically improve her health, confidence, and quality of life. The total cost is $4,000. As the sole provider in our household, it’s more than I can manage alone, especially with her fixed Social Security income.

This isn’t just about new teeth—it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and a well-earned smile after everything she’s overcome. I have a platform of over 10,000 followers, and I believe I was given it for moments like this. If her story can inspire even one person to choose recovery—or to believe in second chances—then this is worth every word.

If you can donate, share, or simply send us your love, please know it means the world. You’re not just helping my mom—you’re helping continue a journey of healing, family, and strength.

With love and gratitude,

Lauren
