Support Kristin's Journey to a New Smile

Hey, my name is Kristin Smith & I am 26 years old. I am asking for help with paying for my partial dentures. I noticed a tooth starting to decay in 2017 when I was pregnant with my first child. I brought a lot of the damage on myself & that is why it has taken me so long to ask for help. I started doing methamphetamine in 2020. I got clean & stayed clean for a year & a half, then I relapsed & soon went to rehab. Rehab saved my life; it taught me things I never knew. It taught me that it's okay & normal to ask for help. I have been clean for a year now & have completely turned my life around. I have started to have faith in God, trust in Him, & be more of the woman of integrity that He created me to be.

I am asking for help because I am unable to afford the partials that I need in order to smile again. I have always been told that I have a beautiful smile that lights up a room. However, I am too embarrassed to smile at all. When I laugh, I cover my mouth; when I smile, my lips cover my teeth, & I'm also unable to eat the foods I love.

I would really appreciate any help that I receive. I know that it's a long shot, but I figured I'd try.

Proceeds will be used at UMMC School of Dentistry. My consultation is October 22, 2024 & will have a more accurate price. Thanks in advance & I will keep you updated!
