Help Me Get My Smile Back!

Hello. My name is Samantha. I’m 25 and work at Tim Hortons, I have a beautiful dog who I love with every ounce of my body and soul. She’s been my saviour is many more ways than one. I’m born and raised on a farm and have a great family. I didn’t grow up in an atmosphere where I had everything handed to me, everything I have I’ve worked very hard for and did most of it on my own with little to no help. As far as I can remember I had always suffered from dental issues. I had teeth in places they shouldn’t of been, they were crooked and to top that off my teeth were too big for my mouth as every dentist and orthodontist has said so. My entire childhood I was bullied and teased for having these dental issues. I actually had one girl try to fight me because of my teeth and instead of giving into her bullying I walked away and had a break down on my walk home. I had met with a therapist and explained my situation and a week later she worked a miracle and got an orthodontist to agree to give me braces at no cost! I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness and thankfulness!
The orthodontist straightened my teeth as planned but the thing is where they had pulled a tooth forward they was no gums to stop anything from causing a very painful abscess underneath my gums. I need a skin graph before they will even attempt to remove to abscess and if it bursts they could be serious infection that will go into my brain. So even though he granted me a miracle my miracle still wasn’t a complete miracle as the skin graph would cost 2000$ alone. So the thing is I have come to a dead end... I was in a abusive relationship for just over a year when this happened. Before I met my ex, I was a very happy with where I was headed in life, I was months away from fully paying my truck off, I liked my job and my boss and all my coworkers, I was saving money and all around just on the right path... I decided I could open a little room in my life for someone special and that’s when I met my ex. He was everything you’d imagine a man to be, handsome, nice, caring, bought me flowers and put them on my car before I finished work type of man. He swept me off my feet. Within weeks I was living with him and everything was fine until he went through my phone one day and that was the end of the man of my dreams. He told me I had been cheating on him for talking to one of my male best friends for over 10 years. He took everything and anything he could find to hold against me. From that day forward I was a slut, a whore, Bitch, liar from one thing to the next. The name calling was just the start though, gradually as time went on it got worse, name calling turned into pintching and pintching turned into punching and so on and so forth. Now you’re probably wonder why I didn’t leave. The thing is, I tried. Time after time which result in more abuse; both emotional and physical. I was scared but I also felt I loved him which made it all that
Much harder. He would scream at me to leave as he would block the door. You don’t know how much he mentally messed me up. I was lost and didn’t know what to do.
To this day I can’t look strangers in the face... I don’t trust a single man and I flinch due to any sudden movements around me. I’ve been dealing with extreme anxiety making it hard to just deal with every day things from work to listening to some of my favourite songs.
My ex and I were in an altercation when it resulted in this. I’ve had a replacement retainer with a fake tooth so I can have some sense of security but it only does so much. I’ve been trying to save for it but it’s really expensive and I have already had to purchase a new vehicle due to the fact that my ex poured something into the gas tank of my last vehicle so I’m already tied up with payments on a new car, insurance, rent plus living expensive. I can’t do this on my own so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
I was denied financing for dental and have no other choice but to pay up front as 3 different orthodontists have told me I have no other options I have arranged with an orthodontist at Axis Dental Group to get implants. Which are 2500$ a piece and I need 8 implants as the front of my mouth is what took all of the impact. Initially for the implants alone it’s going to cost 20.000$
It’s another 5,000$ with the temporary retainer that I’ll have to wear throughout the night for the rest of my life. I can’t do anything more but ask for help. So please if you are reading this, any donation is unimaginably appreciated.
