Support Scarlet Wallen's Journey to Pain Relief
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Scarlet, and I am trying to raise money so that I can afford double jaw surgery. I have been struggling with jaw pain for the past few years, as a result of a genetic condition and a dentofacial deformity called class 3 malocclusion. These conditions caused me to develop temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), and dental and jaw issues that braces were unable to properly address. After being evaluated by multiple different dentists, orthodontists, and jaw surgeons, my care team has decided that my circumstances would best be addressed with double jaw surgery.
Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't typically cover this procedure, even though it was deemed medically necessary. I am disabled and have been unable to work for some time now, due to severe chronic pain and multiple recent major surgeries. I will need additional major surgeries every couple of months and treatments for the next few years, due to multiple debilitating musculoskeletal conditions.
Every bit helps, but if unable to donate sharing this link is also super appreciated!
