Hello everyone my name is alishia, i am 40 years old. I have struggled with dental problems for most of my adult life honestly.  Over the last 5 years or so my dental needs have reached the most extreme of needs, meaning I am in desperate need of either dentures or more preferably, implants. I am in constant pain and I can't eat anything unless it is soft enough so that I can just basically swallow without much chewing. My mouth seems to be in a constant state of infection which I fear may very well kill me one day. Due to the insecurities that have developed due to my poor dental health, I have struggle with depression and addiction. I have been clean and sober going on a year now and I can honestly say for the first time in my entire life, I am truly happy. I met the love of my life 3 years ago and he asked me to marry him. I said yes, however I know that getting married will not happen till I am confident enough to truly smile in my wedding photos. So I'm asking for anyone and everyone that are willing and able to help me raise a decent sized down-payment to be able to reach my dream of having a beautiful smile again. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and considering me.
