Hey my name is Ena Lovric. I have worked 17 years at my current service industry job. It's really hard for me to ask for help. The last 6 months have been the hardest of my life. I lost my loving mother in law rhonda the same week my nora was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Due to missing work solely surviving on tips I fell behind on many payments including credit cards. To avoid bankruptcy, I signed up with a program that provides debt relief for credit cards which has rendered me completely credit less where I don't even have a card in case of emergency.

Now at the end of December we just had the flu (nora and myself) and I had to miss 3 shifts of work before and after Christmas (which in my field is big money days) . Leo, my dog of 11 years has a growth on his ear that has ruptured and is bleeding occasionally. My mortgage is due. My flu symptoms triggered my front tooth to abscess. It needed a root canal in October but I couldn't afford it. There are also 4 other teeth that are decaying from the gum. If im honest with myself im afraid I'm starting to get a gross taste in my mouth from it. I have had dental problems since Nora was born. My teeth seem to decaying at a quick rate. In the last 5 years I've had to get 4 pulled.. one at surgeon that cost me 900, 2 years ago. I didn't think at 34 my teeth would be so horrible. My dream would be to get them all out and get veneers. This front tooth needing a root canal will not be the end of the problems. Eventually it will have to come out. My job requires a lot of smiling and customer service talking etc. I have always loved my smile and even though it's slowly deteriorated in the last 5 years I've smiled through it.

I can't escape my teeth and the tooth pain seems endless. I hate asking for help. If money isn't something you can give.. energy and prayers for restoration are even more appreciated.

sending love and peace to everyone

Ena
