Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well. As for me, I am having an extremely difficult time medically. As we know, if you live in the United States, dental care is a luxury, and if you can't afford it, well, you're out of luck.

Thank you all who have shared or donated to my fundraiser because I desperately need the help and I am eternally grateful words cannot express my gratitude!

A few months ago, my front tooth cracked because I have a condition where I grind and clench my jaw when I sleep due to stress. As a result, it ended up falling out one day as I was eating, and it's been a huge hassle and embarrassment for someone my age to have to look like this. Insurance only covers so much, and I work a seasonal job and live in Long Island, NY, which is one of the most expensive places to live in the country.

I hate asking for help, but I'm in desperate need of help right now. I'm doing my best to work odd jobs in my off time during this seasonal break, but it's been difficult to find work. It's hard to because I already live with a heart condition and I don't need these infections leading to my heart, it's hard to eat, speak, or even want to smile or laugh, and this has killed my confidence to where I don't even want to post pictures smiling. It took a lot for me to share this, and I'm really hoping I can get some help with this one.

Please, anything helps towards being able to get some flippers for my front teeth considering one more has to go due to an infection. This is just the bare minimum of work I need to have done. I need 7 extractions and one root canal. I have two infections in my mouth, including a cyst under one infection. No matter how well I take care of my teeth, I have a predisposition to this condition due to circumstances surrounding my birth, and it's very difficult to deal with, but I'm trying my best.

So, I'm taking a shot in the dark and asking anyone for help if and where they can.

The money is going DIRECTLY to paying for something called Flippers which is not a permanent fix but a temporary solution to feeling more confident. Thank you too all who share and took the time to even read this.❤️❤️
