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.

Dying tooth

I think I may be In real need of help to fix my teeth.

For as long as I can remember I have had gaps in my mouth where the teeth need a helping hand moving closer together. I have been saving every little bit I can so that I can eventually afford to get braces to fix them once and for all.

I had been doing pretty well saving my money and only buying necessary things, until recently I ran into a bit of a problem.

–

A front tooth in my upper set, second to the central incisors on the left side (lateral incisor is what I think it is called) has been in pain for well over a month now. Just recently it has begun to change to a dark grey colour. I have been just been told that this means the tooth is dying and I will have to under go a procedure to stop losing the tooth entirely due to infection.

I believe that the dying nerve tissue inside my tooth is fed on bacteria. It is quite possible these bacteria are releasing a substance that could reduce the tooth to further discolouration, and apparently if the dead nerve tissue and decay is not removed, this is where I will be losing my tooth to infection.

At the moment losing my tooth and creating even more gaps in the front of my mouth is a very real fear of mine, as it is not only a problem I have struggled with for years, it being located in the front of my mouth like I have already mentioned is very much a noticeable problem.

There are so many hard working, good people in my life that deserve to spend 100% of their hard earned money on things that they need and want. I simply can’t ask them to help me with this.

I have been working so hard to achieve this goal on my own, but recently with so many other bumps in the road, I have sadly had to come to terms with the fact that it my very well be impossible. This goal of mine is no longer something I can achieve on my own anymore and I really do need some help.

I don’t expect such a vanity based issue to go very far but I figured this was worth a shot at least.

If you did read this far, thank you.

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.
