I'm starting this fundraiser for myself because I need urgent dental work that I can't afford, and the pain has become unbearable. I need to have a tooth pulled, but I can't move forward without making the first payment to start a payment plan for the extraction.
Right now, the pain is affecting every part of my day. Every time I get up and walk, it starts throbbing so badly that I can barely do anything. I can barely eat, and I haven't slept in two days. On top of that, the tooth pain is causing ear pain and a constant migraine. I've been taking Tylenol and ibuprofen, but neither of them is touching the pain anymore.
I'm still waiting for my Medicaid coverage to be turned on, but I was told the decision could take up to 30 days. I don't have coverage until that kicks in, and I can't wait that long to get relief. I'm exhausted, hungry, and at a point where I just can't handle this pain anymore.
Any support would help me make that first payment and get this tooth extraction started so I can stop hurting. If you're able to give or even share this fundraiser, I would be deeply grateful.
