Ms. Bambii

<div>Hi, my name is Alena “Ms. Bambii” Bartholomew,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>and I’m reaching out with a humbled heart to ask for help restoring my smile — and my confidence, comfort, and peace of mind.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I work every day as a teacher and youth mentor, spending my time nurturing, guiding, and inspiring children. My smile is how I connect with them — it shows warmth, love, and reassurance. Sadly, I’ve been battling severe dental pain that’s made it hard to smile, eat, or even speak comfortably in front of my students.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>What Happened</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After sudden and intense pain in my upper front teeth, I was told I need:

</div>

<div>• Two root canals (teeth #8 and #9)

</div>

<div>• Core buildups and full porcelain/ceramic crowns to restore them

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My dentist at Total Health Dental Care – Oakland confirmed that the damage is extensive and must be treated immediately to prevent infection and long-term issues.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Total Treatment Cost: $7,820

</div>

<div> Insurance Coverage: ~$1,840

</div>

<div> My Out-of-Pocket Portion: ≈ $5,900

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How This Has Affected Me</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The pain has made it difficult to eat, sleep, and work. As a teacher, communication and appearance are a big part of what I do — and it’s heartbreaking to feel self-conscious in front of the very kids I love teaching.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This experience has affected not only my health but also my self-esteem and ability to fully express myself. I miss being able to smile freely, laugh openly, and show my students that same bright energy I always encourage them to have.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Why I’m Asking for Help</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Dental work of this magnitude is extremely expensive, and even with insurance and payment plans, I simply can’t cover the cost alone. <strong>I’m not asking for cosmetic perfection — just to relieve the pain and restore my ability to smile confidently again.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donations will directly help cover:

</div>

<div>• Root canal therapy (x2)

</div>

<div>• Core buildup and crowns

</div>

<div>• Follow-up appointments and healing visits

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any amount helps — even $5 or $10 makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing my story means just as much.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>From My Heart</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I teach my students every day that smiling is a superpower — it spreads joy, hope, and love. With your help, I can get my smile (and my superpower) back.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting me on this journey toward healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude and love,

</div>

<div>Alena “Ms. Bambii” Bartholomew
