Raising funds for dental costs for refugee family

I am raising money for a refugee family who cannot cover the costs of their dental care. It's a family of eight: a married couple with six children. They are refugees from Afghanistan, who arrived in the United States in January 2018. I have worked with them as a volunteer mentor for the last four months or so.

I am not allowed to share the name of the organization I am volunteering with, or post the photos of the family. But I assure you that they are good, simple people who had to leave their home because their lives were in danger, and who hope to make a life here. They work hard and are trying to learn English, but they can still hardly make ends meet.

The six children--the youngest was born in the United States last August, the eldest is 11 years old--fortunately have medical and dental coverage. The parents' dental coverage is insufficient and spotty. They have constant problems with their teeth, but no money to allocate for this important need. In constant pain, the man pulled out one of his teeth by himself, because he could not afford a dentist. Last week, when I accompanied the family for a dental appointment for their children, the dentist looked over the woman's dental situation, and she needs $3,356.50 of dental work, at a 30% discount, including multiple fillings and extractions.

I am raising $5,000 over the next week, to cover her dental expenses. I am still trying to find a dentist that will do the work for a lower amount, but I would like to raise the $5,000 as a cushion for future dental needs as well.
