Orthodontics bill

Hello,

I am a 19-year-old college student in need of fixing my upper and lower front teeth. My teeth have been the source of misery for me ever since I was a kid but my family has no money to pay for fixing my teeth.

On a regular basis since I was a small girl, everyone has been on on commenting my teeth and smile. I was bullied for this obviously stupid reason for years and my self-esteem is in the rock bottom. Even though the bullying has stopped in college the trauma is there and I don’t dare to smile at all as I am afraid of even small remarks of my appearance. Even when people don’t say anything I can see their eyes constantly staring at my teeth when talking with them. It makes me very uncomfortable.

I have been dreaming of having at least straight teeth (even if otherwise still imperfect) and I have tried to save money for the straightening operation for a couple of years now. I have talked about this with my parents a lot but I do not want to bother them since they have already helped me and my siblings with our tuitions so much.

I do work part time but most of that money goes to rent and tuition. The cost of this operation is estimated to be around $6000 and I have managed to get together around $1000.

I would appreciate it very much if you could help me fund my dental care if even a bit and I can reach my goal faster. I wish to be able to smile and laugh more in public instead of restraining my real bubbly personality and hiding my mouth sometimes even when just talking.

I know that having straight teeth won’t make my self-esteem rise miraculously overnight. I don’t want or expect to be beautiful after but it is one solid step for me to work on myself and be able to get to the point that I can say I truly love myself.

All I can say at this point is thank you if you even have gotten this far in this text and thank you so much more if you decide to do an act of kindness and donate even a small amount.

Dental help

Good afternoon! I am writing this out of sheer desperation as I am in excruciating pain.

I have had severe Crohn’s disease since my teenage years and that required a LOT of steroids to keep inflammation at bay, which depleted the Dentin in my teeth making them extremely soft. I’ve never had much in the wAy of dental insurance and I live on a disability check of $786/month. I worked for a bit while my Crohn’s was in remission so I got some work done while I had some insurance but it still wasn’t great. Two summers ago I had a few pulled and a few others root canaled, along with a partial made for the top. Last summer however, (about 5 months ago) I was sitting at a stoplight and was hit head on by a man who was doing drugs while driving and overdosed. I was REALLY beaten up, and most importantly the two teeth where the posts for the partial is were cracked by the airbag. Without car insurance from him and having to leave my job and lose what little bit of dental I had, those teeth have been held together by the partial until a few weeks ago when they broke off at the gum line. I am severely immune compromised because of my Crohn’s medications, so it is very important that I get these fixed before I get an infection I cannot fight. I need $250 just for x-rays and consultation and he said if they need implants it will be in the thousands but right now I just want to get the roots out to prevent landing in the hospital with the covid19 situation.

Dental work needed

I hate having to ask for help but even with Dental Insurance I still can not afford the dental work I need. As a child I grew up very poor, we were even homeless at times. My father was a brittle diabetic and could not hold down a job for very long because of the diabetes. And I myself being the youngest with 4 siblings. So I only went to the dentist when it was absolutely necessary, and usually when someone else was paying for it. My teeth have honey combed from the inside out since my permanent teeth came in. I have always had to deal with toothaches and have tooth extractions since I was around 9 years of age. I now only have 5 teeth on the top and 1 tooth broken off to only the root in the top. Which all need to come out. I have 9 teeth on the bottom and 1 in the back that is broken off to only the root and it must come out. I also require 2 crowns prior to my partial being made for the bottom. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I am disabled and living on social security Disability $1259 a month with 12 prescription medications and diabetes medication is very expensive. I have multiple health issues which require me to see a doctor and several specialists. I have had 3 surgeries since December 5th 2019 on my left hand and arm. I was a licensed vocational nurse for 20+ years, in 2014 it just became to painful to continue with my nursing career. I have degenerative disc disease in my spine. In 2016 I was declared disabled. In June 2019 I had a TIA, In July I had a 2nd TIA and then a Stroke that left me with left side weakness. I have regained most of my strength from the stroke. I now am able to walk again with a cane. It’s hard for me to ask for help but I really see no other way. My teeth are becoming painful causing it to be difficult to eat. Thank you in advance for any help that you may be so kind to give.

Need help with dental

hello my name is Luke Blankenship, 24 married father of 3. I work at “The neighborhoods at quail creek” a skilled nursing facility located in Springfield Missouri. I work on the floor as a CNA preceptor/trainer Monday three Friday 6:30am- 2:30pm but most day I work over sometimes until 10:30pm to help out. I am on here as a desperate measure to seek financial help for a dental procedure. All of my teeth in the back right and left of my mouth are broken down to the gums. And my front teeth are rotted and breaking away leaving me with endless pain. I look ugly feel ugly and hurt constantly. I can’t even eat the foods I love unless it’s super soft. I have no dental insurance and I do not have the money to pay for the procedure I need to have. I went to “DDS Dentures & implant Solutions” Springfield Missouri and they told me they couldn’t save them now. All I can do is have the remaining teeth pulled and dentures placed. The cost of this is $8,000. I make 13.25ph but with having kids paying gas to work plus the rent and utility bill I simply have not been able to afford to have something done. I am hoping and praying someone sees this and can help. I would meet in person and show my life and Bill’s just so no one thinks I’m lieing. I just need help I’m so sick of hurting all the time. You may contact me by my cell at 14175432255 if you have any questions. I appreciate anything that helps. Thank you have a great day!

I need my wife back

Thank you for taking the time to read my situation and even consideration of giving.

My amazing wife of 10 years is in desperate need of dental implants. Almost 8 years ago on Christmas Day my wife and I went to her family gathering for a Christmas dinner and exchange gifts. At the time she had a 12 year old nephew who had gotten a small dirt bike as a gift from Santa. They are very close and he would not take no for a answer for her to take a ride. So to make him happy she jumped on to take a lap around a small track they had there from her brother who grew up with dirt bikes. Well needless to say something went wrong and she lost control and hit a tree going about 40 mph. She broke her arm , put a bruise on her brain from the contact. But the worst of all she broke her jaw. She had part of her bottom jaw replaced by titanium and of course had her mouth wired shut for a pretty good while. I thought once that was over things would heal and it would be a lesson learned not to jump on a dirt bike. Well the problems began to get worse and worse. First of all the medical insurance said it was a dental issue and the dental said it was a medical issue. So basically nothing was done after surgery. It started with her teeth becoming loose and brittle. She began to break teeth off , having them shift and it became a domino effect. One by one teeth would break off, fall out , it was just a sad painful point in her life and mine because I couldn’t help. No things are getting serious because she’s beginning to keep infections in her mouth and constant pain. She only has about 6 teeth left and as anyone would be she’s so embarrassed on how she looks. I love her and have never felt so sorry for someone who would do anything for anybody. We just don’t have the resources or the credit to get this problem fixed so she can live a happy normal life at 47 years old. She is in deep depression and the infections are just getting worse. I would do anything if she could get permanent implants. As much hell as she’s been through it would change her life. She can barely eat anything and it’s causing health problems because her body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs. She won’t eat in public and avoids public situations for fear of having to eat. I’m so tired of hearing her cry and pray that somehow she can get some help. So you see my need. This woman is my life and I want her to feel better and for us to grow old together happy. If you see it in your heart to help I will be forever grateful and will post pictures of the process as it happens. This is our cry for help and any help given would be life changing. God bless you all and thank you for reading and if you can do anything to help me get my wife back and help her may God bless you in helping someone who deserves it for all she’s been through.

Thanks so much.

Want to like me again

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my request. I know you have heard every story imaginable and I’m sure there are alot that are the same, but I hope that mine stands out and someone helps me. Here is my story and thank you again for your time.

It started when I was around 9 years of age, I started to gain weight and started to get comments from my mother that I was getting chunky and needed to lay off whatever it was I ate. To hear those words from my mom not only shocked me, it broke me heart and it broke me. From that point on I would get told that I needed to lose weight, if I only looked like my cousins. That wears on a person and and after awhile I started to think of myself as fat, ugly, and worthless. I would stop eating or eat the minimum so that I wouldn’t get any bigger because I was worried I would be a disappointment to my mom. Then someone I knew showed me a way to eat whatever I wanted and not gain anything, and let’s face it I was desperate so I started making myself sick after eating, the weight started to fall off. This went on from then until early 2018 and when My mom started to notice and told me I looked good now, and to keep up the good work. Fast forward to now I have done so much damage to my teeth because of this and they are breaking off and hurt, I live in constant pain. I don’t smile, I don’t go out with friends anymore, I stay depressed. I tried those snap on veneers and you can tell they were fake, but I went to a job interview worried the entire time they would fall out of my mouth. Luckily they didn’t. But after the interview I went home and two more teeth broke at the gum line, I cried because one it hurt and two the job I interviewed for requires me to be in the public eye and I can’t if my teeth look this way. I have been in an eating disorder group since March of 2018, although they are still helping me beat this, they can’t help me with my teeth,so I am asking for help to get my teeth either pulled and have dentures made or have custom snap on veneers made. I would like to start off with the veneers then actually move to getting implants rather than dentures, however I know implants are expensive and the veneers I looked at cost around 1000.00 plus maintenance if needed.

I want to smile again without judgement, without having to cover my smile with my hand, I want to live without the pain in my mouth. I want to be me again, have my self esteem back. I want like me again and with your help I hope to achieve that. Thank you for your time once again.

In need of Dental work

Hello everyone. My name is Michelle. I am currently in a situation that I need to get a dental procedure done. Being a spouse of a military Vet. I have give up a lot through his 22 year career in the Army. It was so nice to have him protect us well out in the battle field. So I made sure everything was running smoothly on the hinge front so get can worry about his job. I’ve always put everyone’s needs before my own. Now that I’m in need of financial help for myself I can’t do for myself. My dental insurance doesn’t cover any of the cost of the procedure I need. Since my teeth were filled with metal well being stationed overseas. It really messed my teeth up. Cracked them, broke them and am only able to eat soft foods. I need dentures. The reason why I selected the Renew dentures is it a life time guarantee. You get a new pair every 5 years and all check ups are covered at a price of 21,712.00. I know that’s not cheap at all. But I have done all my research and this is the best fit for me. I am at the point where I’m always hiding my teeth when I talk. I just want to be able to rekindle my marriage and be able to be social again. I will be happy with what ever I can get. Thank you in advance for the kindness.

Rob’s Dental Misery

I have thought long and hard about this….several weeks in fact. I have finally arrived at the decision that if I don’t ask for help I am just going to continue a downward spiral. First allow me to tell you the dental situation: I have lost all my molars starting when I was 18. I am now 56. I have 6 teeth left on top but just lost a critical front one and have serious cavities in 3 of those and another front one is dead and will break off soon. I have 9 on the bottom but 3 are almost gone due to cavity. Eating is very difficult and no matter how I care for my appearance the missing and black teeth are judged very harshly and I am embarrassed any time I have to talk.

So, how did I get here? I unfortunately followed my Mom and siblings in how they lost their teeth so there is some genetics at fault. Up to 5 years ago I worked and over the years either paid for dental care myself or used insurance when I was lucky enough to have it. I brushed and flossed more than anyone I know (literally) and watched as my teeth started to get worse no matter what I did. Then (5 years ago) I was the victim of a violent and random assault which by itself was terrifying and degrading but it opened up the memories of a childhood I had worked very hard to keep “boxed up” in my mind. I cannot go into very specific details and I can only hope you will not hold that against me when deciding whether or not to help. I will tell you that my Dad was killed when I was a year old and I suffered along with my siblings under two step-fathers. There is probably very little abuse that I have not witnessed or been a victim of. I did however vow to myself, as a teenager, that this abuse and sexual abuse would not define me or hold me back and for about 30 years I held my head up and worked hard. I pretty much worked two jobs or the equivalent for 28 years and I married a wonderful woman and raised two beautiful children while breaking the abuse cycle. Of this I am very proud and those who know what I endured as a child have offered so much encouragement and praise for what we accomplished.

The attack that happened approximately five years ago has robbed me of the ability to function normally. I live with gut-wrenching anxiety every single day. I am now as I was as a child. I jump at the slightest noise and when anyone raises their voice even slightly I feel scared and sick to my stomach. I have done everything right as far as getting help but keep running into walls where long-term mental health is concerned. I have lost virtually everything except my wife of 35 years, our two children and wonderful grandchildren. It is so humiliating though when my 4 year old grandson asks why I have “no teeth”. I have only ever wanted to teach my children and grandchildren to be ethical, have integrity and work whenever work is available and now I feel like such a failure. There are very few days that don’t start with me sitting on my bed crying. I cry for the pain I carry from my childhood. I cry for being a victim 5 years ago. I cry for the look in my wife’s eyes and I cry because with this dental situation people are reacting to me in a way I have never experienced.

I have three teeth broken off at the gum line and the remaining pieces are rotting in my gums so they have to be removed. I then have to have all remaining top teeth removed and replaced with a denture. The bottom teeth will need to be repaired and three removed with the intent of a partial denture for the bottom. As it is now I have difficulty eating and combined with my anxiety I have lost 45 pounds in a year without trying or wanting to.

These procedures and devices are going to end up costing approximately $7,000 and I have absolutely no resources or the credit rating to get any.

I hope I have given enough information for you to make a decision and if you decide to pass on my situation and help someone else I will say thank you for reading to this point and hope that if you encounter someone with missing teeth that you will consider it may not be because of neglect or personal habits. Thank you so much for reading my plea!

Difficult childhood

About 3 months ago I attempted suicide which has meant I have needed to take some time off work as a result my debts which are spiralling out of control I also have a tooth missing at the front which I need to get fixed

Below is a summary of why im so screwed up

So primary school there were occasions where I was in an office on a desk and had all my clothes taken off I remember the head master saying they were checking me over and they measured things like my height and my feet the head master was definitely there and I think other adults were there too . Also times when I had been to the toilet the head master would come in and help me tuck my top in to my trousers but to do this he would pull my trousers and pants right down I don’t remember him or any of the others doing anything except lightly touching me I don’t think they made me touch them or anything like that, I know now of other boys it happened to around the same time . Id quite often wet myself or shit myself on the way home from school cos I couldn’t hold it in anymore but never had any issues with going to the toilet anywhere else. I hated going swimming with school or getting changed for pe all through school and im pretty sure that stemmed from primary school .

In the first year I was at secondary school my dad hung himself , my mum and dad had split up by then, he wrote a suicide note pretty much blaming the fact he couldnt live without her , he was also in a massive amount of debt though . My mum didn’t handle it very well and she often said things to us about how he obviously didn’t care about us and how selfish he was and he didn’t want us and it was a cowards way out , when my mum and dad were together I spent way more time with my dad he worked nights so he would get in from work and take us to school sleep while we were at school and then pick us up from school , my mum was working in a care home then and worked alot of evenings and weekends

After my dad died my mum started full time at Tesco 1pm – 9pm Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday and 10 – 4 Sundays so we were home alone alot , well I was , my brother is 2 and a half years older than me so he was 13 by then and always seemed to be staying out at his friends houses

My mum is amazing with money and worked hard , we always had the latest games consoles at Christmas or birthdays and holidays abroad all materialistic things but there wasn’t much love or affection my mum wasn’t like that , anyway about a year after my dad died so I was 11 by then , I was off school sick my mum hardly ever let us have days off school so I must have been really sick , at 1230 she left for work before she went she told me not to answer the front door to anyone

An hour or so later the doorbell was ringing like whoever it was must have pressed it ten times and then a man was looking through the living room window because of the shape of our living room then and the way the chair I was sat on was in the far corner he couldn’t see me , still I didn’t really figure it out just thought he was being nosey , next thing I heard a loud smash , walked out in to the hallway to see another man there with a holdall and a baseball bat , I ran up the stairs to my mum’s room called her at work , her work called the police while she got home as quick as she could , it seems they just got out of there as soon as they realised I was in but it proper fucked me up , I hated being in the house alone after that I’d go round checking the rooms when I got in if no one else was in or id just sit outside till my mum or brother got home

If my brother was out for the evening or on the weekends I’d go out , I didn’t have many friends really then and the group I sometimes hung out with from school bullied and picked on me a fair bit so quite often I’d just walk around on my own alot of kids bullied me so I’d walk to parts of town that kids wouldn’t go, the one end of evesham park that at the time had nothing but a toilet block

The carpark near the fire station where there was also a toilet block and also a good way to avoid groups of kids coming across one of the bridges in and out of town was to go in the toilets until they had passed , problem being in the 90s gents toilets were used by men to have sex with each other and people either didn’t notice or just didn’t care

I think I was about 13 when i first did anything with anyone but before that i spent ages hanging around watching guys alot of guys too quite often there would be 5 or 6 guys in there at a time

Then when I did start joining in quite often guys would give me money so from 13 years old I was having sex with men most days one two three or more most Sundays I’d spend all day there , and most evenings after school , all the school holidays no one noticed or just no one cared

I’d have notes that no one new about so I’d just blow it gambling mostly in the arcade at the back of the video shop which didn’t seem to at the time have any age restrictions

I’d lie to everyone constantly about where I’d been and what I’d been doing if I hadn’t been given any money and I fancied going to the arcade I then just started to steal it from my mum

At the time I liked the attention I got from the men I met and I went looking for it so I just thought it was my fault but it should never have happened it took me years to realise that

Would be serious child abuse now but it was just overlooked then

I had no idea when it came to money or managing it , I’ve been fired from so many jobs in my late teens and 20s cos I’d go cruising for sex instead of going to work , I’d have sex for money and then not have to bother with work

I lived in a flat by myself for 3 years when I was late 20s and didn’t pay any of my bills owed 5000 rent by time I was evicted

I deserved a much better life

I deserve a much better life

I behave alot better now and im a good person but I still won’t let myself be happy whatever I do , in my head im never good enough it doesn’t matter what I do I can’t erase the past

Im still useless with money too

I pay my rent and house hold bills but I have about 6 thousand on credit cards and payday loans galore

Any donations would be gratefully received

Dental Bill

Hello everyone,

My name is Aaisha and I am currently in dental care. I’ve had braces for a year now to fix the shape of my teeth and jaw (my jaw seemed to have a defect and I was recommended to get braces immediately last year) and I have been going pretty good with my bills, but for the past few months it’s been hard for me to pay my bills. Living in Toronto with housing and rent prices going up, it is hard for me to pay all my bills while working part time in minimum wage as well as living by myself in my own place. At this point, it is hard for me to feed myself as well. Looking for new jobs is hard as well since employment rate is low around my area plus my experience and schedule does not match up with the requirements (I am currently a full time university student). I couldn’t ask my family for aid since they are back home in Qatar and have their own financial needs, however, they did all the help they could.

I am still yet to pay 2 months of bills plus December for my dental care and I have just visited the office last week for my routinely appointments. This was the appointment where my tooth extractions were done. For these I have to pay another $400, a $100 per teeth. After the procedure was done, I told them that I was not ready to pay my bills yet, and they told me that I could not show for my next appointment until I’ve paid 3 month worth of bills and my teeth extraction payment (that is $175*3 = $525 + $400 = $925) or else I wouldn’t be getting any sort of dental care.

One of the most severe complication that led me to this state was the work layoff. I work at a shoe factory and recently half of our team was laid off while the other half had their hours shortened. Luckily, I still had my job, but my hours are down.

I used to make roughly $13,000 monthly and my monthly rent was $10,000, so I try making the remaining stretch for meals and public transport. Now I make roughly $11,000, making it just enough for me to pay my rent, which is now $10,500. My next appointment is coming up in a month but I have yet to collect money to pay my bills. I am currently hunting for a job, but it is harder since I am still a full time student and my experiences aren’t enough for qualifications.

Since I thought that nothing can help me with my bills, I’ve been asking my friends for help but they themselves had their own problems as well. However, a friend of mine told me to try this site out so I took my chances, since any amount of money at this point may help me.

God Please Help Me 2019

My name is Paul Wiles and I will be turning 40 in January of 2020. I live in Western Maryland, with my best friend and fiance and her(our) 3 children. I have two sons, one from each wife who I am now divorced from. I am currently working as a delivery driver for myself because it has been very hard finding good work and getting hired…. And I know the reason…

My teeth are horrible. When I was younger everyone always complimented on my teeth and my smile. Today I never smile. I barely talk unless I have to because of how I feel about myself. I have been three so many instances where I had to go to the ER to get antibiotics to stop the pain and swelling of bad teeth and gums. The infection has been so bad at times that I’ve felt it in my neck and all the way up my cheek to my nose and then forehead. Today my teeth are so bad that I don’t even remember the last horrible time that I was in pain. I think my teeth are dead…well most of them. I’m scared that previous infections or a future one out of nowhere may end up killing me. It happens. Its real. I have lost any and all confidence in my self and in life. I don’t kiss because of it…. And how can you love without kissing?? I want too… But I’m afraid I guess. I have been turned down for several great jobs. I use to be in customer service and management and now that’s not even a possibility.

I can put blame on my life in many instances from not having parents around at a young age, to the years I got into bad things with the wrong people. Several immediate family members had teeth issues because of genetics. I honestly think I have a little of it all. I blame only myself though. I wish I could turn back time… I wish I could smile and be happy again. To land a great job and to not be scared that I might possibly die because of it.

Im not going to get my hopes up that somehow someway I one day will be able to smile and be happy again and confident. All I ask is that if you can … Please help even if it’s spare change. Please help me before I get sick or worse.

I only have minimum state insurance and it covers nothing and extractions still cost more than i can afford. My teeth are so bad simple extractions won’t work. It will cost me at minimum for the cheapest dentures over $2000. Even those would be better than nothing but eventually im told the bones in my jaw will make my face slump among other things. I’m just so scared and don’t know what to do.

I appreciate everyone’s time and I thank God that im alive… But not alive how I use to be or should be…. And that’s all I want and NEED not only for me… But for my family and children.

Thank you all again and God Bless.

Per Oral Surgeon: Implants or NO teeth at all; my jaw won’t accept dentures

I am a 38 year old single mother who is working full time at a fairly good job. I have dental insurance, medical insurance and accidental insurance, yet none of these policies will cover the procedure that I need. I have researched every financial option that I can find (including but not limited to grants, clinical studies, loans, and charities). I am doing my best to advocate for myself.

My dental situation is complicated by the structure of my jaw. At 28 years old, I had all upper teeth extracted and received a “same day” denture. My lower molars were also extracted but not replaced because I have large Mandibular Tori. This bony growth is not compatible with dentures. My remaining front lower teeth have been compromised over the years due to pressure from chewing, as I have no molars in my bite (my upper duenture molars are actually flush with the gumline). These lower front teeth are now crumbled and I cannot chew at all, or speak comfortably and my career advancement is severely impacted by the state of my smile because of visibly missing and damaged teeth- not to mention there is considerable pain and swelling that I battle regularly.

Over the last year, I have been to 4 consultations: surgeons, denturists and an implant specialist. I have had CT scans and thorough exams. There is no question – I require full arch implants. I have no teeth left to anchor a partial to.

My original intention was replace the upper denture and to have the lower teeth extracted to eliminate constant infection and to help raise my confidence with broken teeth out of view.

However, all dental professionals have told me that I cannot, under any circumstance, wear an upper denture with no lower teeth in place. They warned of nerve and vascular damage, along with alignment issues that could negatively affect the spinal cord in my neck. Basically, my current option is to have zero teeth or to have implants. The cost for only the lower teeth is approximately $25,000 (not including anesthesia, rx, etc). Full arch upper implants cost the same. I do have the option to stay with a traditional upper denture (~$3,000) but I must have implants on the lower in order to keep the upper. As of today, I have around a year left with the damaged lower teeth that I have left. Once those are gone, I will have not choice but to remove my upper denture. It is then that my entire life will change dramatically. I will be forced to seek another career behind the scenes, and I fear a sense of devastation to my confidence, overall.

Thank you for sharing your valuable time and consideration to read this request. Please know that I am actively seeking and saving, and that I am not stricly relying on the charity of others. I would love to answer any questions (such as why did I lose my teeth so young?) and to perhaps learn if any pro bono programs exist for a case like mine.

I’m 20 and I won’t be able to smile for my new born in May 2020…

An introduction to my situation.

3 yrs ago I had traveled to England to pursue a career in software engineering and computing mechanics.

One night I decided to run to the he petrol station to grab myself some snacks and juice to keep myself awake and study.

I was walking along the street towards the petrol station when a young bloke had walked towards me seemingly out of nowhere and asked for the time. I of course was like of course so I got my phone out my pocket and as I was about to speak 2 more young guys attacked me.

I did fight back but it was 3 against 1, they grabbed me and placed my jaw against the he sidewalk curb, and proceeded to kick the back of my skull and my teeth got shattered in the process.

I went home and tried t it make a police report, they did nothing. I had tried to get a dental appointment to be seen, yet still nothing. I was seen as a foreigner in England for the time I was living there.

I tried so hard to get help, I had no family I could tell and no friends at the time of when it took place. I was scared, alone and felt lost.

It’s been 3yrs since this happened and my teeth have gotten so bad since that day that I have adapted to speaking down low or speaking in the opposite direction as people talking to me or even as far as to cover my mouth with my hand.

I’m 20 yrs old I will be 21 in less than 2 weeks.

I’m going to be a dad next year this may. I’m scared, I’m ashamed and I feel like there’s nothing I can do to be able to smile for my (hoping for a little girl) but my iether son or my daughter.

It’s breaking my heart to even think about it. I’m on such a low income already and just cannot afford any sort of surgery (I would say repairs but I honestly have nothing left to repair..)

I’m not sure what I’m looking for out of this, all I know is I need help desperately.

I want to be able to smile and laugh and not be. In constant pain, I want to be able to work and be confident, I want to laugh properly, I want to be o be able to wake up brush my teeth and give a big smile to my son/daughter and my family and my partner who has been immensely supportive of my bad teeth and even she has tried to help.

I wouldn’t have made it this far without certain people, but now it’s got so bad that I don’t think anyone can help.

I guess that’s why I’ve came to you guys and girls to ask for advice or help.

My name is Lee, I’m 20. I will be 21 in 2 weeks. I will be a father to an absolutely amazing service n or daughter next year in May (estimated). And I can’t even show how happy I am about it.

I’m not sure how much it will cost as prices are different everywhere I look but I don’t want or need expensive work done, I just need my smile back. I want to smile and show how excited I am.

Recovering Addict of almost 3YRS NEEDS HELP IMMEDIATELY FOR EMERGENCY DENTAL WORK

Here is goes, I’m gonna be a completely open book and for the first time tell my story to others and let them know my pain I’ve struggled with for so many years but also the joy I’ve found! So here it goes.. also at the end if you have any questions do NOT hesitate to email and ask me!!

Above is a photo before my active addiction took off, back when I just graduated high school as Valedictorian and started college on a full-ride academic scholarship for psychology, back when I was modeling for a living, back before I knew who I even was as a person or what my purpose was for living another day in this earth, but still I was happy… Little did I know what was coming ..

***LOOK AT PIC BELOW***

THIS . WAS . WHAT . WAS . COMING . AND . I . WASN’T . PREPARED .

So .. I jumped ahead quite a bit and I want to rewind back to the beginning and start there, as I feel like there are quite a few things that are important to my story that you’re not getting if I don’t backtrack before we get back to where we are in my life story.

I was born September 15, 1993 making me now 26 years old. Born to a loving family, despite my parents getting divorced when I was 2 years old due to my mother’s infidelity in her marriage with my dad it lead into a very bitter and nasty divorce battle that last well past the divorce being finalized. Honestly, I believe they never let go of the hatred and grudge towards one another, not even now that my father is dead, my mother will still talk horribly about him to me like loosing my dad wasn’t enough. So due to this terrible divorce separating my immediate family and allowing my mother to carry on a new life with the man she was cheating on my dad with, Robbie, who was now my stepdad. But it left my brother and I choosing sides between our parents our entire lives. With that said, I was always my daddy’s little girl and always went out of my way to defend and protect him against my mother at all cost and this lead my older brother, Colby, being my mom’s child. And it seemed like the families of each parent picked too causing me to never feel good enough for my mother or her family’s love through my entire childhood. This is where I first began feeling like I wasn’t good enough and it carried with me for the rest of my life until I got into recovery. Skipping ahead a couple years with not to much to go into details about but to name a few significant things: 1) there was a huge fight between my mom and I I was in fourth grade and was diagnosed with dyslexia and I’ve gotten an F in reading on a progress report and she grounded me for nine weeks and I had a freak out like a child would and told her a bunch of things I didn’t mean like I hate you and I want to go live with my father. And instead of reacting like a parent would and not listening to A child’s temper tantrum, she decides to engage and responded to me saying some of the worst things that could ever come out of a mother’s mouth to her child. Things like I hate you and I wish I never had you you were a mistake things that I carried with me for the rest of my life which also just significantly reiterated the fact that “I WASNT GOOD ENOUGH” belief that started from the parents divorce earlier on in my life if you remember. 2) So after that there we’re many court dates over custody of me and my brother and that caused many moves back and forth between our parents to where it was eventually granted for good that my dad had full custody of me. 3) after moving to my dads full-time I was able to switch from private school to public schools finally because I hated private school and then I was way ahead of my classes in public school so I was able skip a lot. I also started playing sports as my father‘s main goal was that I made straight As in my classes and be involved in a lot of after school clubs or sports and if I could do that then whatever I wanted or wanted to do then I could as I had no curfews or rules. 4) my dad ended up meeting a woman that started out working as a receptionist for his company that ended up stealing $250,000 and getting him involved with prescription pain pills. 5) this is also where I started partying as in drinking with my brother and his older friends not too much because I had sports to upkeep and grades but enough to where the friends I had in my grade their parents would no longer allow them to hang out with me so I was always hanging out with older people now and started to get involved or started to see people getting involved in much harsher drugs and alcohol scenes. 6) I blew my knee out during one of my basketball games and never ended up dropping out of every sport I was in, basketball, dance, competitive cheerleading, and volleyball. And instead I ended up falling in love with my prescription of opiates I now was prescribed too and because I wasn’t playing basketball anymore I had much more free time to hang out with my older friends and again due to no more sports, I no longer had a reason that I couldn’t smoke weed with them and this is where my journey with drugs truly begins.

What I’m about to tell you I feel like you deserve a few more details to it then summing it up quickly.. After dropping out of all my sports my junior year in HS, I started skipping school quite a bit, started drinking and going to parties every weekend, I was also using my prescription daily and way more than I was prescribed too that I was start g to buy other kid’s parents scripts or whatever they could get them for me from. I had started dating the biggest cocaine dealer in my town who was much older than me and he also got me starting to do cocaine quite a bit with him as well. Somehow as crazy and unmanageable as all this seems I was somehow keeping my life in somewhat of an order that was at least until….. shortly after that I was pulled into the principal’s Office one morning during first block and I had my car searched and it was found with a lots of drugs and alcohol and tobacco all the products you’re not supposed to have on school grounds in my car and I was suspended and sent to alternative school for 55 days also thinking my dad is going to show up at the school that day and pick me up beyond pissed off at me and grounding me for life I was absolutely wrong as he started yelling at the principal saying they had no right to search my car without them and standing up for me and then he never said a word to me about it or gave me a single consequence after that we walked out of the school building and we just sort of never really spoke about it again. Which only made me feel entitled to it being OK to use as my dad didn’t care Which I know now looking back that wasn’t the case he did care if I used drugs or not he just thought that it would’ve been a big enough wake up call for me not to ever use again and boy was he absolutely wrong.

The second major life event I’m gonna tell you about is shortly after me getting kicked out of school the court system put me on house arrest and I was raped by my father’s best friend who also happens to be my best friend‘s father on March 13, 2010 when I was on house arrest from getting in trouble at school. And I remember that morning due to so much pain I was in from the salt my dad handing me a handful of Lortabs and I remember my brain switching over to this wasn’t just a party anymore .. it was this numbs this feeling out and I like it and I never not want to feel like this ever again. I remember my brain switching to addiction mode that and I remember. After this my life started to get really crazy I started drinking and using every single day and not just my opiates I was prescribed Xanax at this time I was drinking every day I was drinking and driving I was it was in my dad I wasn’t going to school and somehow along the way I ended up catching a DUI walking which obviously violated probation I was already on her getting in trouble back in school and got put in states custody where I went from living with my dad in a four-story house with a chef and a maid to living in a ghetto of Gallatin with the bishop and first lady who had 10 children and 28 grandchildren and had their own church which they made us foster kids go to and it lasted hours and they would try to lay there hands on us .. it was crazy. Whatever the else got shut down shortly after that as I turned in their son who is 28 and hitting on the foster girls that were underage coming through their house and I got moved out of their house so quick and Moved in with Big Momma in Springfield who still to this day Had had a huge impact on who have become. I stayed in states custody for 11 months and graduated valedictorian of Springfield high school with a full ride scholarship to Western Kentucky University into 2011. I started college like a normal student would and I was clean at this time but it didn’t take long as it was only a week or two that I was out of states custody and had moved to college on my own that the drugs came right back in my life and I started to snort 26 Lortabs a day like I never even stopped and that lasted until 2012 of December Where I went to my first detox as I was in quite a bit of physical nose pain due to snorting my drug that I promise I said I would never touch another one of those again when I left that detox and I’ve kept my promise even to this day however six months after that detox a boy introduced me to a needle And heroin in my life was forever changed. Somewhere throughout that year the guy that raped me was finally charged and sentenced with aggravated rape of a child and only received 360 days in jail and eight years probation not even a full year in jail for a child rapist. Which made me fall even heavier in Heavy drug use as I didn’t feel like I received any justice and I felt like I wanted to scream and do whatever I could to say f*** you to the justice system who screwed me over so bad and I thought by doing drugs and breaking the law I was doing that, but now after many years of therapy and being in recovery and viewing things a lot clearer, TRUST ME I KNOW THAT WAS JUST MY DELUSIONAL DRUG BRAIN CAUSING ME TO THINK THAT. Here’s where I’m gonna start summarizing quite a bit as it was just a lot of legal troubles I was started to get arrested so a lot of court dates a lot of rehabs that I would go to and leave and a lot of drugs. somehow I managed to keep family relationships and friendships so far to this point and keep them from knowing the full truth at least as I would always be able to manipulate and find a way to tell them I quit or you know that wasn’t mine and theyd just believe me or continue to believe my lies. At this point my dad felt bad about his friend who raped me that he would just give me money every day and not really say much because I guess he felt that if he gave me money for my drugs that I would never be out on the streets doing drugs that at least I’d be home where he could know if I’m safe and I wouldn’t be out doing something that he wouldn’t like to imagine his daughter doing for money if he just gave it to me . Skipping right along quite a head further was just extreme drug use and continuing to go to school and trying to manage my life to the best I could I was in and out of rehab and jails him and then the next huge part of my life that was getting towards the end of my addiction was January 21, 2016 when I lost my best friend in the entire world my father in my arms. My life has never been and will never be the same again as no one could ever love me and be there for me like my father was. I forgot to also mention that during this time of after the rate my father and eyes relationship changed from a father daughter relationship to more of a best friend druggie buddy as he started taking more of his prescription back medicine to where he had to buy more off the street illegally and I was his dealer/get high buddy to where every night we would both be getting high, well I always snuck off to my bathroom to use so he couldn’t see the needle use as he never knew my addiction had progressed so far as he truly believed I was still only taking Loratabs but yea every night we ended up watching TV for hours and cooking together and just talking to each other about everything and he never once judged me and I tried to be easy on him as to during this time he also kept letting my ex stepmom come in and out of our lives he would keep stealing from him and he put her in jail by pressing charges and then she get out and let her back and it was just we both only had each other and felt very alone so we were just so close to each other as we both felt we didn’t have anyone else. So when I lost him that day is when my drug use picked up to an all time high between that day in May 2016 I had dropped down to 86 pounds you can see every bone in my body also I lost my grandmother during this time who was my dad’s mom but also basically my mother growing up as my mother and stepdad were always off on cocaine or crack binges and leaving us that my grandmother always came to pick us up and take care of this and my grandmother was the one that took my prom dress shopping in school shopping and Sports games and yeah she was my mom and I lost her months to the day I lost my dad two most important people in your life . So I significantly went out May being a significant month after loosing my dad as it was. It was May 2016 the week before I graduated and walked across the stage of my college graduation and it was also the night before finals week and I got arrested and was held without no bond and it took my brother over 24 hours and a very expensive lawyer bill to be able to get me out in time the next day to take my three finals before midnight and to be able study for the rest of the finals that week to be able to graduate college and walk across that stage. You know my brother was able to get me out to do that however I was not out very long as the judge made me come in to court two days after my college graduation and immediately he revoked my bond and kept me in jail 86 something days after he told me that I was only going in there for 10 days just to be detoxed and then start drug court.

HERE IS WHERE MY JOURNEY OF RECOVERY TRULY STARTED!! I had mentioned before now on my story throughout different times that I had gone in and out of treatment centers and detoxes however none of those times where is I going for myself it was always going to get out of legal travel or to keep my probation officer this was the first time in my life that I actually wanted to get clean and so it’s not as I was at the police are arresting me and taking me to jail I now turn around and thank them as it truly was a wake up call I needed to turn my life around! No I’m not saying that it was A perfect road of recovery especially at the beginning I had a slip or two but ever since December of 2016, I haven’t had any mind-altering substandard in this body. And no it’s not always been peaches-n-cream, as I lost my dad‘s father my grandfather and the only relative of the most family I had left I’ve gotten in fights with my family about trust and everything under the sun but I’ve also regain the trust from all my family members, I’ve gone to court more times and I can count been to jail sober and gotten consequences and followed through those consequences due to my past actions, I’ve had financial troubles out the ass and I had to take my brother to court which I am still in the middle all in recovery but I know that each and every day I wake up and all my problems are so much easier being sober and trying to handle it under any type of drug or alcohol.

So more about my emergency dental problem that I need extreme help with, I have only a total of nine teeth that are left in my mouth and those nine teeth most of them already chipped or started to decay or are falling out or in the process of it that I am in need of extreme implants or at least partial implants and dentures which they have estimated to be about $10,000 and it’s all said and done and I literally have about $250 if that did to push towards it my credit due to my dad messing it up with taking out loans before I was even 18 for the business and then my brother not handling business affairs much better after my dad passed my credit is no good to get any type of loan towards it due to my dad dying obviously I can’t ask for any money and no one else in my family has any money especially any kind of money that they could lend out especially the amount that I need and even if they did have it a lot of my family is only worried about themselves that they wouldn’t do it so I’m sitting here begging for anyone if they could to please help !! I would never be able to thank yoh enough because as it stands if I don’t receive the dental work I’m needing they are going to continue to fall out day by day and already my mouth is so bad that no one would ever give me a job or look twice at me and it’s embarrassing but also extremely painful to where I’ve had to change my entire diet based on what I canning can’t eat on what hurts and what doesn’t so like I said if you could please help me in any way I could never thank you enough!! Below is my PayPal link. Thank yoh again ahead of time!
