A New Smile

Donation protected
Hello everyone, 

For anyone who does not know me my name is Desiree and this is not something I would normally do but I am doing it out of the goodness of my heart for a women who means everything to me, a women I call Mom.

I'am raising money for my mom to get a full set of dentures as she is a women who comes from a long heavy cycle of abuse in many different forms. Since her childhood she has suffered with abuse and as life carried on without the education to know better, she had relationships with  abusive men and during the many years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse she has lost 3/4 of her teeth.  Every day she lives in pain and because she has so little teeth left,  she can barely eat good whole nutritious meals. She lives with the reminder every day she looks in the mirror or tries to eat, not only of the horrible memories, but the power these men still have over her quality of life. She is diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from all the abuse she went through and has limited funds because she is on ODSP. She has tried to ask her community for help with little response. For anyone who knows this women, she is the most caring and selfless person I have ever met despite all the sharp turns life has thrown at her and because of her I work in social services to try and help children, youth, and families so they do not end up in a similar situation. She does not even know I have made this account, and I don't want to her to because she would want me to take it down. Noone knows more then me how much this women deserves a new smile, and a new start. If you can help and make a donation of any kind, your donation is greatly appreciated no matter how big or small. I cannot put in words how much it means to me to help this women  to gain back power over her life and give her the motivation to help other abused women as she desires to do.  Again, anything anyone can do to help is greatly appreciated, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
