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
