Holey Teeth

I need help getting my teeth fixed. I have 2 in front with big holes and my top wisdom teeth are falling apart. They’re starting to hurt a lot and there’s no way I can afford to fix them, no coverage I can afford right now and no one I can ask for help at the moment.

 

I’m currently working 2 jobs, one full time 44 hours a week and the other part time about 20 hours a week. There’s not much else for work available around me and I’m taking a business management course at the same time to try and get a better paying job. With all my bills; rent, power, car payment, car insurance, repairs, student loan, prescription insurance, prescriptions, gas money.. half the time I don’t bother with groceries and just get rice.

 

I also have an autoimmune condition called Lichen Planus, it affects my skin all over and makes it hard to live normally. I have to use steroid cream on my arms almost every day so I’m not scratching through my skin. Stress makes it worse, like any other illness really.. trying to get some help to make things easier.

 

I work reception and, along with hurting, my teeth look really bad. I would really appreciate any help anyone could give. I want to start with getting the front ones fixed because every time anything gets caught there I can’t open my mouth it hurts so much, and when it gets cold it’s horrible. Canada is bad for cold teeth lol

 

I can’t find any cheap dental coverage around here and don’t have much other choice but to ask for help. There’s no one I can ask because of everything going on with covid and people losing work. I’ve been laid off twice already because of it, but for now we’re allowed to be open. I hate asking anyone for anything, but I don’t have much choice now.

 

Anything I get I’ll be putting aside in savings until I have enough to get my teeth fixed. I try to put $20 a week in savings, but that’s usually when something decides to let go on my car. Only have about $50 saved at the moment and it’ll cost hundreds to fix the mess my mouth is.

 

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. I understand if no one can or wants to help, no harm in asking right?

I only read a couple of the other posts on this site, hopefully this is set up right.

Please help me with my teeth..

Hello,

I never pictured myself in this situation and I am embarrassed and ashamed of myself. This is not a joke, but I unfortunately got too many of my horrible father’s genetics and he is English. An orthodontist in my childhood compared my teeth to both of my parents and he said that I have the same teeth as my British father. I use prescription toothpaste and brush and floss twice every day. I keep up on 6 month dental cleanings, which I pay for out-of-pocket.

 

I am crying as I type this because my teeth, regardless of how well I take care of them, are rotting out of my head. I AM ONLY 33 YEARS OLD 😫😫😭😭 but I’ve already had countless root canals, I’ve had multiple teeth pulled, 2 being very important teeth so I need 2 implants which cost approximately $3-5k each! And that’s only the stuff I currently am aware of. Did I mention that the father of mine who gave me these horrible teeth also molested and raped me starting when I was 6? Yeah…that continued until I was about 12 years old. It hurts to think about all the ways my father has been able to hurt me; from genetics to incest. This is what I get for existing.

 

I’ll NEVER be able to make enough money to afford all the dental work I need done. I am desperate for any amount of help. Please 🙏🏼 I don’t have any other options and I need the dental work done as soon as possible so my other teeth do not shift out of place, also.

 

Please, if you can help me with even $5, you would be a blessing to me. Please help? 😔

 

Sincerely,

Robin

I need your help

Hi there, my name is Jeremy I’m 43  and I need your help. My teeth both bottom and top jaw need replacing,  The start of 2020 I was half way to my total , hoping to have the full total  start of 2021 and have a new me. But disaster struck. Not once but twice, my mum got sick 2nd of January and was airlifted 400km away to a emergency care hospital. I took time off work to be with her. Being there for 5 days, the doctors said she was doing well. So I made the decision to come home on the 6th of January. On the 7th I went to work holding out hope mum was gonna be okay. When I received a phone call at work that my 18 year old step son had just hung himself. It was an unbearable pain. I raced to my wife and to see her hugging his lifeless body was more then I could take.  All this going on with mum still in intensive care for her condition. When my brother rang up. Said there is nothing they can do. If you want to see mum 1 last time, I better come back. So I did the 4 hour trip. Told my mum I loved her. Sat with her for the day, told her of the tragedy . I told her I couldn’t stay. Had to get back to be by my partners side. Mum was okay , she understood. We had to grief and make funeral arrangements, make sense of everything that happened,  was no signs, no hints that this was going through Graham’s head. Dead 3 months after turning 18. Anyway leaving the hospital. Was given good news by doctors that they were confident that a procedure on mum would fix her up. So I left with hope that she would be okay. My mums a fighter. That night I got a phone call from my brother saying mum wasn’t strong enough for the operation. And that that they will just make her comfortable until she dies. That happened on 14th of January exactly 1 week after Graham’s suicide. So money I had saved for all on 4 teeth replacement, went towards funeral costs, taking time off work, etc. Then covid 19 struck and its been a financial nightmare for me ever since. Unable to get any loans and my teeth so bad. I can’t even enjoy simple things in life like eating an apple, chewing finger nails, eating nuts. I’m pleading for help. My self esteem is at an all time low, I get anxiety around people, scared they are just staring at my horrible mouth. And I get teased at my workplace for my missing, cracked decayed teeth. I just want a better life, a more confident me, if you think you could help please please donate to

Terribly in need of dentist

Hello, my name is Samantha and I am in need of a front tooth. I was born without my lateral incisor on my right side. My maternal grandparents paid for my elder sister and I to get braces when we were young. I was only in the fourth grade when I received mine, which is too young for braces. My dentist at the time left my braces on me until I was in the seventh grade and needless to say I’ve had dental issues most of my life. The biggest issue I’ve had is my missing tooth. He created a retainer with a tooth attached and I’d had it for fifteen years. Yes, fifteen years with the same retainer. When it finally gave out, I visited a local dentist and had a Marilyn bridge done. With the gap being so small I’ve had nothing but issue after issue with it popping out completely. I had to pay out of pocket for it, which was about $700 total. The porcelain is now cracking on the wings of the tooth to where I won’t be able to re-fix it any longer. I found a new dentist that can give me a sturdy new option. The tooth next to the gap will be ground down and a cap placed on with a veneer and another tooth attached to it. This way it will be sturdy, and I will not have to worry about my tooth constantly coming out. Unfortunately, my insurance will not cover the procedure at all as they list it as “cosmetic”. The procedure will cost the whole amount of between $2,500 and $3,500. This is well beyond my realm of ability. I currently work as a Military Move Manager and having a high self-esteem and presentation is extremely important to me for this job. I have tried to work out a payment plan with my dentist and the best they can do is paying half at the first appointment and the other half at the second appointment. I have tried everything, from trying to get a loan to contacting my dental insurance and nothing has borne any fruit. I hate to ask for money, but this is my last option. At this point my tooth is no longer able to stay put without superglue, and this only lasts for about 3 days. I would eternally appreciate any help at all with this.

Root Canals

Hello,

Let me start by saying thank you for reading. I currently have about 4,000 dollars of dental work I need done. At least 3 root canals with crowns and about 4 fillings. I have been paying monthly to pay off previous work the Dentist graciously did but I’m still about $1,300 away from paying that off. In total to get my dental health taken care of, I am about $5,000 away. This is WITH insurance. I’ve always known dental health is important to every day health and I just want to be able to pay off what I owe and be able to finish the work I need. With Covid-19 I’ve been furloughed and unable to work while I stay home and watch my room mates children who are virtual schooling. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m now further in debt, and can no longer afford rent and get my dental work done. Any help is appreciated.

Very self conscious and depressed about my smile

4DD954D6-4F92-4AC4-9133-CCDFAE5B6101.jpegI know this is a long shot but I really am trying everything I can to get help with fixing my teeth. My whole life I’ve grown up with crooked and uneven teeth. I grew up with kids making fun of me and not wanting to be my friend because of the way my teeth looked and they always told me that I look like a shark or a vampire. It made me go home and cry everyday. I always asked my parents how come my teeth looked this way and how come I couldn’t go to the dentist to get better teeth like all the other kids. They told me they were very sorry that the kids picked on me for it but they couldn’t do anything about it because we had a hard time affording things already as it was.

This went along years and years and I didn’t have friends growing up. At 14 years of age I even started my first job and helped my parents pay bills so we wouldn’t get kicked out and live on the street because my father was now getting sick and couldn’t work really and it got worse over the years. We struggled more and more everyday and seeing him getting more and more sick I couldn’t just sit there and see my family like that. He passed away in 2015 and my mother was left in a lot of debt because of the struggle along with myself.  I got jumped and beat up over and over again over the years and my teeth got worse. Chipped and more and more crooked. I had to go to the hospital because I was in so much pain from it and it left myself in debt with hospital bills. I hated even leaving the house because people would look and me and see my teeth and would just give me this look. I’ve gone to the dentist and they went through a bunch of listing in which it would cost me way too much to even do anything. I’ve been trying to save money to try to do anything I can but I’ve been having money taken out of my check and my wages garnished from my paychecks in order to pay of debts so I havnt been able to even save up anything. I can barely survive paycheck to paycheck. I got kicked out of my girlfriend of 4 years after she found someone else who she says is better than me. I had no where else to go but back with my mom and pay her for rent to stay with her. When I’m at work people say I need to smile more and then when they see my teeth they go oh now I see why you don’t. I’ve had to walk away and cry at times because people were so mean to me about it. I still to this day can’t even really go out in public without people asking what’s wrong with my teeth and why I don’t just don’t get them fixed. I still have people make fun of me when I go out. I’m depressed everyday. It hurts not feeling normal and being neglected from people for something I can’t help. I look in the mirror and just want to have a better smile some day. I’ve worked so hard to fix my life already over the years and try not to let it bother me but even when I look at my mouth it makes me so upset and depressed feeling like I’m so ugly. I can’t even smile in a picture because I hate it so much and afraid more and more people will just bring me down and make fun of me. I’m really goofing I can really get the help. I’ve been trying for years and years doing research on how I can try to get help but haven’t been able to find anything so I’m hoping this time something good will happen for me. I pray everyday for a miracle so please.

Nurse needing her smile back

God Bless everyone,

I don’t know how to  start this post but I feel God spoke to my heart and told me to leave the pride aside. I don’t think is about pride because I am a humble person.  I just don’t know how to ask because I never ask. I have been a very hardworking independent person.  I am a Licensed Practical Nurse that every time i needed something I would work overtime as much as I could until been able to get what I needed. Unfortunately now I can’t. I have been working my full time job and taking care of my 78 years old mom at home who had a femur fracture after a fall 10 months ago on Christmas Day.

I just feel embarrassed of my situation at this moment. But I will go ahead with my eyes closed and my heart open. I just turned 50 last month. I have come a long way building my self esteem back in the last 5 years. I was overweighted, with low self esteem. Thanks to God I got the wisdom and strength to work on those areas. I was feeling happy about myself more than ever before.  In the past years I have been loosing my back teeth. I was ok with it because no one could see them. Then, I lost one in the right side but I was ok too because I could hide it and smile with the other side. But this past week I lost one in the front left side while eating almonds and the other one next to the front teeth two very loose. I went to the dentist and they gave me the sad new that all of my upper teeth need to be pull out and all the ones in the bottom except 2 also. So they told me I need a full denture in the top and a partial in the bottom.  The total treatment plan fee is $8,654, my insurance cover $3,083 + $952. But I still have to pay out of my pocket $4,619.00 which I don’t have. I work and live paycheck by paycheck to pay my mortgage, car expenses and house expenses.  I just want to be able to smile freely again!😭 Now we are wearing masks, but what’s going to happen when this is over, my smile is what brings peace and comfort to my patients. Christmas is coming and I won’t be able to smile next to my grandkids.  It’s so frustrating!

I feel so embarrassed about all this. I have proof of my estimated treatment plan totals. I have my pictures also, but it only allowed me to post one picture here, so I posted only the cost page.

Thank you for reading this and God Bless the ones that can help others.🥰

Hoping and praying that God send me an angel to help me.

Hard Times Desperate Measures.

Where to begin? I guess the start would be ideal; at the foundation, all things considered,

I grew up with five kin and, basically, a single parent. (My mom would vanish on gorges and he at last separated from her during one of her 3-month long ventures when I was 13.) My dad is an astounding man who endeavored to accommodate us yet, tragically, dental consideration was out of the financial plan. I saw the dental specialist one time during my adolescence to pull the teeth underneath my canines, which were becoming over the remainder of my teeth. My teeth were packed seriously to such an extent that this just dealt with one side, and the different stays raised right up ’til the present time.

I previously began with packed teeth and I accomplished something that I’ll always be unable to fix I got bulimic. From age 11-17 I was bulimic. This prompted gorging and mass cleansing. It was a cycle that I never figured I would escape. It took a great deal of treatment to get the assistance I required.

In addition to the fact that I ruined my teeth I destroyed the underlying foundations of my teeth too. When I was 18 I was at long last ready to make a dental specialist arrangement for myself. It was too l ate. The harm had been finished. I had destroyed my teeth unrecoverable.

I’ve gone through the previous 10 years having teeth pulled as they decay away in my mind. No, it is anything but a pretty picture. It’s disturbing; I revolt myself. Grinning makes me need to cry. I avoid photographs, except if I’m the person who takes them-since I know to keep my mouth shut.

I am 28 and need false teeth. This is a hard truth for me to swallow… nearly as hard for what it’s worth for me to bite.

I have none of my molars left on my upper left side. I just have one molar left at the rear of my upper right side. I’m feeling the loss of the first and second molar on my lower right, and my third molar filled in totally sideways from the gum-pointing towards different teeth I needed to have taken out as it squashed them. My left lower molars are completely loaded with holes. My incisors are completely covered due to congestion. What’s more, the fixing on the cake-my main 2 front incisors spoiled at the crease. I burned through 1k having them fixed distinctly for them to separate inside the year. They are spiked on the base and contributed between. (Fortunately the fix assisted with halting the rot, and I am revealed to it is conceivable to have them cosmetically fixed once more.)

You may have seen that leaves me with just my incisors to eat, and cautiously at that. I have always been unable to appreciate food. I have been out to eat multiple times in the previous 10 years due to how embarrassed I am, and how troublesome eating is for me. I don’t go out to the bar, shows, functions or even gatherings due to how humiliated I am.

Notwithstanding my teeth-I am a genuinely alluring young lady. I take awesome consideration of my body. I remain fit as a fiddle, and I ensure I get the supplements I need through shakes.

A year ago my accomplice urged me to quit stowing away and share something that has been an energy of dig for quite a long time self photography. It had for quite some time been my device for figuring out how to cherish myself once more. It was my lone outlet for feeling like I was appealing. It was something I kept hidden and just indicated him. A year ago I at last opened up and started presenting sets for individuals on observe. The steady reaction has been overpowering, and is the manner by which I store my treatment.

The main issue is… it doesn’t help with regards to my “grin.” I conceal it. I never open-mouth grin and once in a while grin by any stretch of the imagination. Rather I resort to mocking or forsaken articulations. I’ve figured out how to communicate with simply my eyes. Be that as it may, each time I experience my photos I feel it well up once more. That disgrace, shame disturb.

I need assistance. I prefer not to state it-yet I need monetary assistance. I can’t stand to have the remainder of the teeth I have to have eliminated dealt with. I can’t bear the cost of the false teeth that would supplant them.

Because of COVID I lost my employment, I was a mechanical spot-welder, and my protection. Notwithstanding my photographs I would not have the option to bear the cost of my treatment and medicine. I needed to pick between my teeth and my emotional wellness. The main issue is that my teeth add to my devastating sadness and uneasiness. It’s a cycle I am stuck in.

I have no clue about what the absolute expense of fixing my mouth will be… on the grounds that I’m too frightened to even consider going in and hear the figure. I realize I can’t bear the cost of it.

I need assistance. I don’t have the foggiest idea what other place to go.

I’m excessively embarrassed about my mouth to post a picture here. In all honesty, it is appalling and would require a “trigger admonition.” I will give evidence if necessary.

I’m most depressed when I smile.

Where to start? I suppose the beginning would be best; at the root of it all.

I grew up with five siblings and, essentially, a single father. (My mother would disappear on binges and he finally divorced her during one of her 3-month long escapades when I was 13.) My father is an amazing man who worked hard to provide for us but, unfortunately, dental care was out of the budget. I saw the dentist one time during my childhood- to pull the teeth below my canines, which were growing above the rest of my teeth. My teeth were overcrowded so badly that this only worked on one side, and the other remains raised to this day.

I already started with overcrowded teeth and I did something that I’ll never be able to undo- I became bulimic. From age 11-17 I was bulimic. This led to binge eating and mass purging. It was a cycle that I never thought I would get out of.  It took a lot of therapy to get the help I needed.

Not only did I ruin my teeth but I ruined the roots of my teeth as well. By the time I was 18 I was finally able to make a dentist appointment for myself. It was too l ate. The damage had been done. I had ruined my teeth beyond repair.

I’ve spent the past 10 years having teeth pulled as they rot away in my head. No, it’s not a pretty image. It’s disgusting; I revolt myself. Smiling makes me want to cry. I hide from photos, unless I’m the one who takes them- because I know to keep my mouth shut.

I am 28 and need dentures. This is a hard truth for me to swallow… almost as hard as it is for me to chew.

I have none of my molars left on my upper left side. I only have one molar left at the very back of my upper right side. I’m missing the first and second molar on my lower right, and my 3rd molar grew in completely sideways from the gum- pointing towards the other teeth I had to have removed as it crushed them. My left lower molars are all riddled with cavities. My incisors are all overlapped due to overcrowding. And the topping on the cake- my top 2 front incisors rotted at the seam. I spent 1k having them repaired only for them to break down within the year. They are jagged on the bottom and chipped in-between. (Luckily the repair helped to stop the decay, and I am told it is possible to have them cosmetically fixed again.)

You may have noticed that leaves me with only my incisors to eat, and gingerly at that. I have never been able to enjoy food. I have been out to eat 5 times in the past 10 years because of how ashamed I am, and how difficult eating is for me. I do not go out to the bar, concerts, events or even parties because of how embarrassed I am.

If not for my teeth- I am a fairly attractive young woman. I take very good care of my body. I stay in shape, and I make sure I get the nutrients I need via shakes.

Last year my partner encouraged me to stop hiding and share something that has been a passion of mine for years- self photography. It had long been my tool for learning to love myself again. It was my only outlet for feeling like I was attractive. It was something I kept private and only showed him. Last year I finally opened up and began posting sets for people to see. The supportive response has been overwhelming, and is how I fund my therapy.

The only problem is… it doesn’t help when it comes to my “smile.” I hide it. I never open-mouth smile and rarely smile at all. Instead I resort to sarcastic or forlorn expressions. I’ve learned to express myself with just my eyes. But every time I go through my pictures I feel it well up again. That shame, embarrassment- disgust.

I need help. I hate to say it- but I need financial help. I cannot afford to have the rest of the teeth I need to have removed taken care of. I cannot afford the dentures that would replace them.

Due to COVID I lost my job, I  was an industrial spot-welder, and my insurance. If not for my photos I would not be able to afford my therapy and medication. I had to choose between my teeth and my mental health. The only problem is that my teeth contribute to my crippling depression and anxiety. It’s a cycle I am stuck in.

I have no idea what the total cost of fixing my mouth is going to be… because I’m too scared to go in and hear the figure. I know I can’t afford it.

I need help. I don’t know where else to go.

I’m too ashamed of my mouth to post an image here. Frankly, it is disgusting and would need a “trigger warning.” I am willing to provide proof if needed.

Needing dental help

I was in a tragic accident, at the age if 13, while I was on vacation with my family.   We were horseback riding, when all the sudden a car backfired and spooked my horse.  It took off running, I was able to hold on for quite awhile, but eventually fell off rolling hundreds of feet.  Even though, my whole body was injured, my teeth got damaged very badly.  The company did pay to fixed them, mostly with crowns or fillings, but would not agree to any future problems.

Fast forward to 17, while waiting for a van to make a left turn, a drunk driver didn’t stop and ran my car over, with me in it.  I again, was badly hurt, this time my back, neck and a few teeth were damaged.   Once again, they were fixed.

As time has went on, I was able to work, until around 45 yrs old.  Now being 51, these 2 accidents have now left me disabled and no longer able to work.  I’ve had many surgeries to help with the back & neck.  However now, with so much time gone by, my teeth are needing attention.  I’m hoping to find some help here and I promise to post pictures as I get the work done.

Dental work and Therapy

Hello. I recently lost my temporary job (my assignment ended) and I have been unsuccessful in finding a new one. I have until August 10th, 2020 to find a new job or my parents will kick me out (I’m 21 and about to go back to college via online classes). They made me sign a contract about conditions and stuff in order to continue living here when I was medically discharged from the Air Force after breaking both knees while running.

I have suffered with horrible chronic pain in my mouth due to awful overcrowding for most of my life. I decided to bite the bullet and get 5 teeth pulled a few days ago. I had enough in my savings to afford it after insurance, but I have $800 worth of work to do in a couple weeks (root canal + crown so I can finally eat on the right side of my mouth for the first time in several years) and then after that, I will need braces (my teeth wouldn’t work with invisalign, most likely).

I have also suffered from severe depression for years, and suicidal thoughts have really ramped up in the past few days, now that my time is running out in this house. I have no friends, and no family to move in with. My girlfriend lives on the exact opposite side of the world from me, so if I get kicked out, I won’t be able to go back to school, and I’ll never be able to afford a plane ticket to meet her in person. She cannot assist me financially as she barely makes $35 a month while she attends university. I am not asking for money for that cause in this campaign, but if you wanted to help out, I expect a budget of $2500-$3000 would cover everything. Again, not part of this campaign but any donations would be extremely appreciated at this time.

Due to the depression and suicidal thoughts, I have been looking into therapy and counseling. It costs way too much for me, as I have less than $800 in my bank account. I have over $1000 in credit card debt and about $5500 in student loan debt from attempting to attend university a few years ago. I dropped out due to extreme suicidal thoughts so that I could be with my family. The therapy I am looking at costs around $180 a month. I cannot afford that at this time. It is arguably less important currently than the dental work, so my priority is finishing the dental work so I can finally eat normally, as right now I am in a lot of pain.

I am asking for any amount of money you can spare for me. $1 would help me tremendously. I am not asking that all of my debt be paid off and that strangers on the internet pay for my dental work and therapy, and especially not for a trip to my girlfriend’s country. I am only asking for any financial assistance I can get at this time while I continue to search for a new job. Worst case scenario, I become homeless. Best case scenario, I find a decent job and can get dental work done, start therapy, go back to school, move out of my parents’ house, and save up to meet the love of my life in person for the first time.

Thank you so much if you read this far. Even if you don’t donate anything, I still appreciate your time.

Help with dentist bills

 

For the past year or so my teeth have been in terribly bad shape.I bleed when I brush my gums are receded some. I know I will require surgery and possibly be going to specialist soon.

Its come to the point where I am fearing I will end up working from paycheck to paycheck just to pay it off. As a young woman it breaks my heart because I am doing the best I can to save my money and have a better future.but I cant do it knowing my health is at risk. My family themseves are very poor. I live in a household of 6 living in 2 bedroom apartment. My father and mother do not work and my father has memory issues.  Sometimes I feel like giving up with the poverty issues and every curve ball thrown at my face. I trust though that good will arise. Right now I am asking for 25,000$ so I may fix my teeth in best conditions as possible. I would be eternally grateful

Im hoping that if anyone has comments or questions about my health to please email me at dg992088@gmail.com.

Also my paypal is: paypal.me/damaris0495

Thank you again.

New Teeth and Debt Relief

I suppose I will begin with my teeth and the horrible state they are in.

When I was much younger, around 14, per my parents I got braces. I followed the Orthodontists instructions the best I could. I went through many months of severe headaches and pain. There were times when I would yawn and it would pop one of the brackets. The problem ended up being that they didn’t account for the growing in of my wisdom teeth. They ended up growing in impacted, but not until after I removed the braces. That is correct, “I” removed them, since no one would listen to me about how much pain I was actually in. Over the years, not having dental insurance nor the money to get anything done, the wisdom teeth coming in impacted just messed everything up. Now, at 41 years old, the wisdom teeth are, mostly, gone, along with several other teeth that were near them. Three of my teeth at the front have broken as well. This was due to the glue/cement from the braces that remained on my teeth for many years. At this point, I would need to have everything remaining pulled, and either full dentures or implants. I have seen full implants, upper and lower, for as low as $2500 each. Those plus the extractions would run about $6000. A full sent of dentures plus extractions would run near to $4000. They only cost these amounts because the services rendered are through “non-insurance compliant companies”, meaning they don’t accept any dental insurance.

Now, my debt and my stupidity. I got my first credit card when I was 19 years old, and due to my lack of financial knowledge, I maxed it fairly quickly. Not thinking clearly about it, I applied for another and was approved. I swore that I would use it for emergencies only and work on paying the first one off. Well, that didn’t happen as I maxed the second one as well. I made strides to pay them off, but I was still spending more than I was making. So, I applied for a better paying job, which I managed to get. The limits on the credit cards were increased, by a large amount, due to my great pay increase. I did my best to get them paid off this time, and somehow managed to max both of them again. Applied for a third credit card and was approved for a limit I had no business having. Yup, I maxed it soon after as well. After a few years, and several credit cards and lines of credit with online retailers, I finally broke down and took out a debt consolidation loan. But, I had to get a co-signer in order to qualify. It took me about 5 years to pay it off completely. I decided that if I couldn’t save the cash for what I wanted, I didn’t actually want it. My credit card days were done with…for awhile.

Fast forward to 7 years ago, I needed some work done to my car and there was no way I would be able to save up what I needed in time. So, I applied for a credit card, and was approved. The limit was short of what I needed, so I applied for yet another an was approved. Not long after getting them, they were maxed.

Anyone seeing a pattern yet?

Throughout the past few years I have obtained more credit cards and they are all near maxed, I keep throwing a little extra at each one, but it’s not chipping away as fast as I would like. Another consolidation loan won’t work this time as I no longer have a co-signer. If I were given the opportunity to pay off my balances, I know I could maintain them. I have a plan written out, but I need them at $0 balance in order for it to work properly. I currently have seven credit cards with balances that add up to about $7000

Between the teeth and the credit debt, I would be asking for, $12,000. To have a chance to smile again and a reason to smile. That said, I would prioritize the dental over the debt. If I could raise the $6000 needed to get the implants so that I don’t have to deal with dentures, that would be amazing.

I have added a photo of my teeth, which is something that I haven’t shown to anyone before…it’s extremely embarrassing and I am ashamed that I let them get as bad as they are.

Help please! Surgery, Dental, etc.

My name is Zoe Burnett and I’m 21 years old. I’m asking for any help I can get if you’re willing. I’ll start by telling the help I need and then why I am unable to make this money on my own in case you don’t want to hear the long list of my issues. I need about $8,000 for dental issues as well as $2,000 for some equipment that I could use to make money from home. If you could also spare $8,000 for my brother I’d love that, in fact I would give up the money I need for him. He’s transgender and since the start of Highschool he’s really struggled with dysphoria and depression. He’s trying to save up for surgery to get a double mastectomy, but college has him swamped with school work to the point where he wakes up and does school till he goes to bed so he can’t get a job. He has a little bit of money in his savings but it’s nowhere close to his $9,000 goal. Now as to why I need $8000, while I was growing up my mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and that coupled with a few of her other illnesses meant doctors would have to find a balance for her marinations. She was incoherent most of my childhood up until late middle school. My dad was supposed to take care of me and my brother but all he did was steal and take her medication and left us to fend for ourselves. As a result I didn’t take care of my teeth the way I should growing up and honestly can’t remember brushing them at all until some point in middle school when my mom was more present, but the damage was already done. I’m now missing two back molars and one front tooth. I also need 5 crowns put on some of my other teeth which is very expensive with no insurance. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic migraines, crippling social anxiety, and depression. All of these things keep me from getting a job, so I’ve tried multiple times to get social security income with no luck. I like to draw and am quite confident I could make money doing art digitally and so I would use $2’000 for and iPad Pro, procreate art program, an Apple Pencil, and a wrist brace, so hopefully after any generous donations I could support myself with my art. While I’m at it I also have a one year old corgi that I care for and $1,000 for him would help a lot just to pay for food and new toys for a while, but that’s not as important I can find a way to keep him fed, happy, and healthy without that it would just ease my burden a little. I’m adding some pictures of a few of my art things as well as my dog and me and my brother. Please understand I’m not comfortable showing pictures of my teeth. If you need to absolutely see that dm me @zoraswan on twitter or zora_knight on Instagram. https://paypal.me/zoraknight?locale.x=en_US34675F9F-D46A-4AFA-92D5-1EE44884B944.jpegE19F6060-C9C4-470E-B355-90DDB1EBD8FB.jpegA1BECB10-3C8A-4345-B969-53651DE29E05.jpeg

I would greatly appreciate any help I may receive to get my smile, confidence and happiness back.
