Hi, my name is Felicia, and I’m fundraising for orthodontic treatment that I’ve needed since birth.

I’ve had dental problems my whole life. For many years, my two front teeth were missing. After surgery, they finally grew in—but they grew forward instead of straight down. I also recently learned from an orthodontist that I’m missing two bottom teeth and have severe crowding, which makes my teeth even more uneven.

Because of this, I often get bullied about my teeth. People have even called me hurtful names because of the gap in my smile. It has affected my confidence more than I can explain.

I’m being raised by my single mom, who has always done everything she can for me. She’s an amazing mother, but orthodontic treatment is very expensive, and she can’t afford this on her own. That’s why I’m asking for help.

Every single cent means something to us. Any donation—big or small—helps bring me closer to a healthy smile and gives my mom some relief knowing she doesn’t have to carry this burden alone.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story, for sharing it, or for donating. Your kindness truly means the world to us.
