Help Me Smile Again

This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life, Anyone who knows me knows that I hate asking for anything, that I have a Sink or Swim Mentality and truly don’t want anything that I haven’t earned, but this time I have to ask, this time I have to beg. This goes back Years, close to 13 years to be exact. I found myself Homeless while still in High School due to a volatile home situation, I spent the greater part of my Teens and Early 20’s Homeless or bouncing from place to place trying to make ends meet. During this time my health dive bombed and my Teeth paid a massive price. At this point I need almost all of my teeth pulled and need to be fitted for Dentures, I haven’t even turned 30 so this is not something I am proud of. Since than Ive turned my life around, put myself through college, moved to Texas found a good job and started a Family. The reason Ive come to this point is due to almost daily agony of my Teeth and Gums, having my jaw swell from infections to the point I can barely talk to my 3 year old daughter. I just want the chance to be able to smile in public, to not be in pain constantly and to be able to look at my little girl without her going “Oh daddy your teeth broke we need get you new ones” Ive started the process of speaking with a Dentist who not only can handle the dental issues but also the process of getting my dentures. The real problem lies in the cost, even with insurance I am looking at roughly $10,000 out of pocket. This is no small feat and with a family to support it makes it nearly impossible to raise that amount of money, if you can help in any way, any shape, any form it would be appreciated more than I could ever say. Thanks for even taking the time to look over this.
