Soroya with medical fees

Hi, I’m Soroya, and I’m reaching out for support with something I’ve been silently struggling with for over a year.

I’ve had a persistent tooth infection that now urgently requires a root canal. The pain has become a constant part of my daily life — it affects my sleep, my ability to eat properly, and my overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, as a self-employed person, I simply can’t afford the treatment privately or the time off work it would take to recover.

I’ve pursued all NHS options, but due to long delays in accessing treatment, the infection has progressed to the point where I now have a dental abscess. This is no longer just a painful tooth — it’s a serious medical issue. Without urgent intervention, there’s a real risk the infection could spread to the jawbone or even into the bloodstream, which can become life-threatening. I’ve been doing my best to manage the symptoms, but this situation requires immediate professional treatment.

I’m asking for help to cover the cost of the root canal treatment (£1,450), and any necessary follow-up care, and to help offset the income I’ll lose while recovering. Any support — no matter how small — would mean the world to me. Even sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your kindness and support.

Warmly,

Soroya
