    Hi, I'm Winwona and I'm not a person that ever asks for help. Being orphaned, having no family, and being a single mother, I've faced a lot of hard roads and did it all. I've hit rock bottom because it was impossible to earn the amount I needed to take care of my son and pay the bills. Here I am now, 55, and I have to sit in the corner of a room for the last 20 years. Once the first couple of teeth got punched out of my mouth, the rest just started to rot. Now, trying to get myself to be a better citizen, I can't even be treated like a human with my teeth. I am judged and talked about, and it's affecting my health and mental health. I've come so close, but yet so far away. I'm now 55 and I'm just doing what I can. This is just a shot in the dark. You know, pay it forward is what I would do. It's horrible. I am disabled, I pay a car payment, and I pay rent. I'm not asking for it to be paid for because I'm putting what I can in as well as my insurance. Please, if you think it's something that you could do, I've made long choices, granted. I don't think there were always a lot of good choices, but I know that I've got myself here today. But I don't want to be this person anymore that people look at and think, you know, whatever they think. I'd like to be able to eat something without choking, and I'd like to be able to meet my granddaughter and see my estranged son with my teeth. If I had the confidence, it would help me a lot to fix this relationship and to rebuild my life because at 55, I don't have a lot of time left.

    I don't want to ask for anything. i am rebuilding and trying to live a life of recovery. But second chances don't come to you without teeth. you get followed like a shoplifter immediately a tell judge junkie. it's lonely in the corner disables

    Hi, I'm winwona I'm 54 and I'm trying to be strong in my life as just then alive. But homelessness, since I had to leave my home because of stalking,went from physical abuse to mental, but these things have kept roofs over my head lol. Idk if I can count how many roofs. Also these things have added to the mental part of my disability. I'm disabled both. That's why I can't work it. I am not able. With no family or friend I use a disability check to get by and it doesn't cover rent so I will put up with mental abuse for lower rent that still exudes income. My onscurance picks up a quarter. I. Saving but 60 dollars won't cover it, and I'm trying to GET back from rock bottom or that's where you go. When you give up, you have no family and you fucking don't. But now I dont own a car, and I don't wanna live in the situation that I've had to live in. Mental abuse is putting it mildly. Let's say over 20 years . Because II have to because I have no teeth and society is treating me like crap. So this difficulties with no family and the friends at all no sports systteml. And I cannot get up and leave this corner without teeth in my mouth. And personal advice to myself would be get-up-and-get the money right? But if my that easy, I'm worried situation, I'm disabled and I'm a very rural area, which I like to I cannot, because I can't take the mental. Abuse on losing my strength and I'm losing my desire for survival., my strength is SO low. II need teeth to eat too. Actually, I choked twice yesterday. And so, it's not for society, reasons, or kind of look pretty. It's for life reasons to and to deal with society. You know, and then maybe that confidence can help me figure out the rest of life's problems. I'm not a background. I'm definitely not summoned to rush for help. But anybody who has extra listen, ? I need help, please. Thank you. This number challenges, the rising back up am I will face them over and over. This is the one I can't get Uber without help right now. I would appreciate anything only 27 short now.
    My life has been an uphill battle, filled with challenges and hardships that have left their mark on me. After years of overcoming abuse and adversity, I have finally reached a point where I want to focus on happiness and positivity. I know that my life choices have played a part in where I am today, but I am determined to dig myself out and move forward, even if it isn't easy. This fundraiser is just one of many things I have to do to rebuild my life, and I am doing it on my own, step by step. But there is one thing holding me back—my dental situation. Without the ability to smile confidently, I often feel isolated and judged. People sometimes react negatively to my appearance, and it makes it hard to connect with others or feel accepted. Dental care is expensive, and after everything I have been through, I simply can't afford the final steps on my own. If you can help, your kindness will mean the world to me. With your support, I can start a new chapter—one where I greet each day with a smile and do my part to make the world a better place. I beg you to believe in me as I work to turn my life around. Thank you for giving me hope for a brighter future.

    Since birth, life hasn't given me a chance, but I've always worked hard and pressed on. I've made wrong choices and bad decisions, and now at 54, I have no teeth. This has left me feeling like a castaway from society—people look down on me, and I can't work or fully participate in life. My granddaughter doesn't know what to think of me, and I know how people react when they see someone without teeth. My insurance only covers part of the cost for dentures, and I can't afford the rest on my own. I have managed to save about half, but it's not enough to cover the full cost. I'm not here to cry about my past, even though it's been difficult. I have no living family members or friends to turn to, so I'm reaching out to the kindness of strangers who might understand my predicament. Any support can add up and help me get the dentures I need. Getting dentures isn't about my confidence—it's about being able to participate in society, help others, and give back. Without teeth, I can't eat properly, and it hurts my gums. I'm shunned, and even my boyfriend is disgusted. I just want a chance to feel normal and be needed by society again. If anyone has the heart to help because they've been there or know what it's like, please know that I will give back to the causes you care about. Your support will help me get back on my feet, contribute to my community, and show my granddaughter that it's never too late to try again. Thank you for considering helping me on this journey.

    My name is Trisha, and I’m reaching out for help as I work to rebuild my life from the ground up. After hitting rock bottom, I’ve been fighting every day to become a better person and reconnect with the world around me. But there’s one thing that keeps holding me back—my teeth. For 11 years, I’ve felt like a prisoner in my own life because of them. This problem keeps me prisoner in my house, too, and has left me feeling completely alone. No matter how hard I try, as soon as I open my mouth, people judge me. They see my missing teeth and make assumptions, calling me things I’m not. It’s painful, and it’s made it nearly impossible to move forward, find work, or even look people in the eye. I’ve done the hard work to get my glasses, my car, and a home, but now I’m stuck because I can’t afford the dental surgery I need. I want to be clear that I am not someone who asks for handouts. That’s how impossible my situation has become, and it’s not easy for me to reach out like this. I’m sorry to even have to ask, but I truly have no other options. I need surgery to remove 11 teeth and get dentures, but the cost is far more than I have. I’ve chosen to do without pain medication and am determined to keep moving forward, but I can’t do this part alone. I know I’m not the only one who’s been shamed or judged for something out of their control. If you’ve ever needed a second chance, or felt blocked from moving forward, I hope you’ll understand where I’m coming from. Every bit of support brings me closer to a new beginning, and I would be deeply grateful for any help you can give. Thank you for reading my story and for believing in second chances.
