I am not one who enjoys asking for contributions. I prefer to take care of myself any way I can before asking for help from others.

However, I am at a point where I do need assistance to have something of great importance taken care of.

I have recently learned that, despite my efforts to upkeep my dental health, I will need major surgery. Complications have arisen, and this surgery is necessary to prevent further complications. Despite my extensive searches for free or low-cost facilities, I would not be able to afford the surgery I will need.

Until this point, I've not had such a medical scare; any situation that has pertained to my health, I've been able to handle and rectify. But this is unfortunately out of my hands, it seems.

So I would greatly appreciate any help I can get towards getting the surgery I need, to make sure that I do not develop further (and possibly life-threatening) complications down the road. If you can give anything towards this effort, please and thank you.
