Dental & Bill Expenses

I'm Ronni. I have started this because we have no other place to turn.

I have a severe infection in my face. It started as a tooth infection but has spread throughout my face and become rather serious.

I have been able to be on antibiotics until recently, because doctors are worried I am becoming resistant to them.

I was able to see a dentist and get a quote of $5,894.00 to get my teeth (the cause) removed. It's a lot. I can't go to schools, clinics or other places because I need an actual oral surgeon. Most of my teeth are corroded up into the gums and need surgically removed. (Also, this is removal only. This does not include dentures. Our main goal is to get the teeth out, so we can get the infection out. It's the most important thing)

Despite others thoughts, this is bad genetics, paired with health issues. None of my medical issues are related to any kind of drug use, as I've never used them.

This is very serious for me, with my diabetes and other health issues. My immune system is already weak.

We've been asked more than once to set up a GoFundMe, so I'm swallowing my pride and doing so.

We have tried utilizing local charities, dental schools, clinics, dental events. All gave no means to an end, despite being told by the oral surgeon (that I had my consultation with), that this infection is spreading toward my brain and will kill me before years end if not dealt with.

I've already been off work over a month, due to my vision being too blurry to see to drive (which is what I do for a living), so we are also struggling to keep bills paid and food on the table.

So the goal is, right now, to raise the money to fight the infection (aka get the teeth removed). Then worry about the rest. I want to be here to see my youngest graduate, to see my grandkids grow, and to watch them all make a life for themselves. We also need help with bills since I've been off work so long. Any money donated will go towards bills and/or dentist.

If you took the time to read this, we already appreciate you. If you could please share, and donate if you can, that would be so truly amazing.

Thank you.
