About this fundraiser

Hello everyone,Ā 

I desperately need some teeth. I have always had a vibrant smile and a contagious laugh, but life events changed everything for me.Ā 
Im the parent who got the dreaded call that my 14 year old son died.Ā 
Iā€™m the woman who woke to find my husband after he killed himself, he couldnā€™t go on with life without our son and left my daughter and I alone.Ā 
My daughter is grown and I am alone now and I have zero confidence in myself.Ā 
Im going to be 60 years old this year and just survived a major health scare, some of my health issues are due to my bad teeth. I canā€™t chew my food, so I donā€™t digest food properly etc..Ā 

Ive tried to keep up with myself, but making $705.00 a month from Social Security doesnā€™t really help me. I live in a rural area, the dentists here are few and far between, wonā€™t take my insurance & I donā€™t have a vehicle.Ā 
Iā€™ve pretty much stayed in the house since before Covid, only leaving for medical appointments or hospitalizations.Ā 

I donā€™t ever ask for help, but at this point I donā€™t have anything to lose, but my life. Ā Iā€™m not ready to go or give up, I feel like I can do so much more in my lifetime to care for those who canā€™t help themselves.Ā 

My entire life has been an uphill battle, but Dear god I need a break. How many years can someone have nothing but ā€œBadā€ things happen to them? Iā€™m hoping to find like minded, caring people who like to help other's like I do.Ā 

I am completely exhausted and overwhelmed, and I need to get a job but who is going to give me a job when my teeth are throwing gang signs?

Out of desperation I tried these ā€œVeneersā€, and as you can see how that turned out.Ā 

Please help me smile again, without help I'm hopeless šŸ˜”Ā
