About this fundraiser

I'm attempting to reunify with my long lost family. I put emphasis on the word LONG. I haven't seen my 3 sons in 37 years and have never met my 5 grand babies. I am very honest and transparent in telling my story. I'm not afraid that people may want to judge me when I say," My name is Angie, and I'm a recovering Drug Addict, and Alcoholic. I capitalize these afflictions because very simply I respect them. I'm 60 years old and I am clean and sober. Finally! And epiphany occured, an awakening was born due to a very real health scare. I have a narrowing of the arteries in my legs. About two months ago I woke up one morning and couldn't walk. The pain was excruciating.  I was adamant on my refusal to admit myself into the hospital. When the pain was just too much to bare, I dialed 911. I stayed in the hospital for 1 months. Most of it was physical therapy. But the main concern was that my leg wound wasn't healing like it should. My circulation wasn't up to par in either leg. That's when an ultra sound was administered and the Arterial narrowing was discovered. My point is that when I was discharged from Life Care Center of Las Vegas, Nevada, my drug cravings, my need to want to self medicate had vanished. I am fully aware that Drug Addiction is, cunning, baffling, and powerful. So like any disease(Dis-Ease), I take care of it on a daily basis. I want to one day meet my Grandbabies, however, not like this. My smile is frightening, period. I don't want to meet my Grandbabies with no smile. I am on Social Security Disability. I receive $963.00 monthly. My rent in my studio apartment is $870.00. Along with a $30.00 utility bill, there's not much left over. I am adamantly looking for some type of employment. All the while having scoliosis in my back. I walk stooped over at an almost 45° angle. I absolutely hate it. But more than that I hate that during my Drug Addiction I neglected my oral hygiene. I don't know how to share this message requesting help. I also have a Go Fund me that has been up for a couple months, however, it shows no views, no comments and no donations. What am I doing wrong??? What I am looking for is what is called Over Dentures. That are dentures that are bolted into the mouth. Or there's also a snap in procedure as well. A down payment would cost anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000. This my request that I am respectfully submitting. Thank you for supply reading this. 

Sincerely,

Angela L. Edwards
