My daughter needs your support
Donation protected
My daughter Sheila is 51 yrs old and has down syndrome , She is completely dependant on my care. She is also a heart patient, non verbal, and is in need of immediate dental work. A few months ago she had a fall and she had broken all of her top front teeth, I have been brushing her teeth and doing my best to care for her as best as I can. Recently she had developed an infection and absess in her mouth behind her teeth ...The swelling of her face and the pain she endures is heartbreaking with the re-occuring infections that she goes through, this is do to the fact that she has broken teeth to the gum line that need to be removed. I am asking for this money because no dentist is willing to see her, Sheilas Dr. is a general practitioner and treats her with strong antibiotics for these infections and pain releivers for her pain, he said it was urgent that we get the infecting teeth out, and because she is non verbal and would have to be completely sedated, she needs a Maxillofacial oral surgeon in a hospital setting . I have to pay out of pocket because there are no surgeons that accept her medicaid, I have found a surgeon that will see her, but he does not accept her insurance so the cost will be out of pocket. At this point in my life I am 67 years old and I have very little income ... I have never asked other people to take on my burdens but I have run out of options and I fear for her life, Just a few days ago the infection was so bad that it caused her to have a fever and I stayed up all night with her making sure to keep it under control, I have no other options, please help in any way you can. Please share this , and Thank You
