Tackling Dental Debt for Jen Justice
Donation protected
Hey friends and family,
I sincerely hate to ask at a time when we all have so much going on, but an emergency dental visit has put our household in a bad spot and we could use your help.
Last week (Sept. 6), I had to quickly find a dentist due to nerve pain. The findings were devastating - I need two extractions (one which will get an implant) and one root canal. The estimate cost of treatment is $8762.
With help from CareCredit, we were able to get the first extraction taken care of for $5000, but CareCredit's interest rate quickly exacerbates the situation, and that's only 1/3 of the work that needs to be done.
I'll draw from savings as much as possible, but graduate instructor pay is still well-below the poverty line and I know this could balloon into a much higher cost without help-- either from interest or further damage if I don't get these issues taken care of.
I can't tell you how much your help means to Josh and me as we deal with this hurdle in the weird apocalyptic setting that is the world right now. Thank you so much all you do for us.
Sincerely,
Jen
