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.

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***

FAAE415E-6979-4967-A4B3-E316B6366878.jpeg

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!

College Student needs Dental Work

Hey guys I’m just getting ready to go into my third college year and I am having extreme mouth pain.

I have a temporary silver cap on my molar, I got a root canal done around 6-7 years ago on it. I’m 19 years old, so I am no longer covered under healthy smiles and my parents don’t have insurance. Temporary caps are only supposed to last 5 years maximum, they’re meant for short term, but because my mother didn’t want to pay for the work to be done, she didn’t get it done even when it would have been heavily discounted.

I work full time, I have an apartment, a vehicle I have on finance and my high car insurance. I just had to pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 for my college and my $2400 tuition by September 3rd. I cannot afford to get this work done.

A huge problem I face is that I have a huge phobia of dentists. I’m sorry to go into it, but when I was a young child (probably 6-10) my mother took me to a dentist who put caps over all of my molars but didn’t properly clean the teeth first. When he took the caps off the next year or whatever the teeth were completely rotten underneath. Because I was already afraid of dentists, they choose not  to tell me they were going to rip all of my teeth out of my head but that’s what they proceeded to do as they held me down. I cannot sit in a dental chair today without anesthetic or laughing gas. The fear is too much for me but tolerating this pain is just getting too much. It’s getting hard to work everyday.

The cheapest I was able to find a tooth extraction (cheaper than a new cap) with anesthetic is $950 and I will have to drive to the United States (I’m Canadian) to get the procedure done.

All donations are seriously appreciated and if you have any advice on a cheaper option in the Toronto/Kingston, ON or just over the NY Border I am open to suggestions for lower prices as well. I just need this work done.

i have never asked for money before and seriously appreciate everything ya’ll do for people.

Please Help Dental Surgery Urgently needed.

So here I am asking for help from complete strangers because i just don’t know what  else to do. 

I work full time, even have Dental insurance & I’m not even asking or expecting to receive anything close, but anything would help to get me started. My Mouth costs more than a car note :-/

About 10+ years ago I had a very bad Dentist experience when getting a crooked wisdom tooth pulled. The Dentist over stretched my jawbones with the “clamp” & I was unable to open my mouth for a month. Eating nothing but liquids through a straw & trying to practices prying my mouth open little by little with oral sticks. So let’s just say, going to a dentist hasn’t happened since.  

Last year I found out that … that was a huge mistake & even if you can’t help, please take my word for it… take care of your teeth!!!

Over the last few years my front right tooth started shifting sideways & forward & is now sticking out to the point that when I drink, I hurt myself often because it hits the glass. I rarely smile & cover my mouth when I speak to people in close range and my bottom front teeth’s flesh is recessing severely.

 Last year my teeth started bothering me badly & I finally went to the dentist, not expecting too much more than  a cavity. (Thought daily brushing would do the trick all these years… boy was o wrong).

Instead i was diagnosed with Severe Gum Disease & Recession and told that if I don’t get my mouth fixed in the next few years im at great risk for heart disease due to the gum disease, which can also lead to heart attack’s & death.

To fix it all would start with the norm deep cleanings etc first, treatments to get rid of the Periodontics, plus having to get 10 teeth pulled from top & bottom to be replaced by two bridges & crowns, at the cheapest and or dental implants.

I was handed an estimated bill of $25,000 & shoved to their loan department(s), who could not help me because of my credit. I’ve even tried to apply for Dental Grands, tried to be a Guinea Pig at Dental Schools, all with no luck and my Dental Insurance only covers a maximum of 1,500 per year. 

So if you find it in your heart to help me at least get started with treatments I would greatly appreciate anything you can spare.

$15,000.00 needed for extensive dental work! :(

Greetings, I’m writing in distress. My name is Jackie and I am 35 years old. I have an obscene amount of dental work I need to have done. I do not have dental insurance or the means for all my dental work.

When I was 10 years old, I had braces for approximately 2 years. After my braces came off I stopped going to the dentist, so by the time I was 17 I needed 11 fillings. After all that dental work, I started to get extream anxiety about going to the dentist, so I didn’t see a dentist until I was 26 and had my first root canal. I had 2 more root canals at 32 and never got the caps that suppose to be placed over them.

I recently went for in for an exam and was overwhelmed by the amount of dental work I need to have done. I need 2 dental implants, 2 root canals, 1 cap replaced, 4 caps, 4 fillings, 4 filling replacements and I have 6 teeth that are chipped that need composite veneers.

I do not do drugs, and I quit smoking 3 years ago. I asked my dentist why he thinks my teeth are so bad, he said I simply ate too much sugar and didn’t brush properly / take care of my teeth.

I moved back to my home state about a month ago, my dad recently had heart surgery, so I decided to move back home to be close to him. I’m currently looking for employment and I do not have dental insurance.

Before I moved I was transitioning to the real estate department of my office and quickly realized that its the career path I want to pursue. I plan to get my real estate license and start selling homes. In this field of work presentation and appearance is a huge part of the job. Right now I’m ashamed of my teeth, I don’t want to smile in front of people. I’m simply embarrassed.

My anxiety for my oral care is extremely high right now, I can’t sleep well at night and I’m becoming depressed. I need approximately $15,000.00 to save my teeth and any help will be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Dental Help Please

My name is Chris and I don’t know what else to do. At 28 years old my mouth shouldn’t hurt as much and look as bad as it does but I live with constant pain and my teeth are breaking apart in my mouth. I am not a drug user or anything like that I just have bad enamel like most people in my family. I am not bad with money but to afford dental implants I need sixteen grand which I do not have. I’m working on a personal loan of five grand with using my car as collateral but that is all I have so far. I work in a nursing home so I only make around twenty k a year and just can not afford to fix my teeth. I’ve been to the er many times in the past year and honestly I am scared. Dental infections can kill you so I am terrified. Please help. I don’t like asking for help so yes I am ashamed to ask strangers but I don’t know what else to do.

Need help for dental work

Hi, my name is David and I am 27 years old. My teeth have been failing for over 10 years, and just recently started getting really bad. To the point of full extractions and denture/implant procedure. 8 of my teeth are severely broken from cavities and decay, all the rest have some form of decay and tartar damage. Advanced periodontal disease from gingivitis early on and untreated. I have only been to a dentist once when I was really little. My parents never took care of their teeth, thus never wanting to take me growing up. I should have took it upon myself after being able to legally work and providing for myself. But turns out, dental work is extremely expensive once its to the point it is now, and never been able to catch up enough money to pay for it. Ive been slowly trying to save for a out of country dental procedure to try and relieve some of the expenses. I am only a part of the way though given my procedure will be upwards of $10,000 out of country! Im ashamed of my teeth, and how poorly ive taken care of them. To the point where nobody knows the true extent of how bad they actually are. I know if I was open and honest early on, this couldve been avoidable. Im never one to ask for handouts, and always doing what I can to give to those less fortunate. Just really out of options and am afraid that I let my dental problems go too far and maybe starting to affect with general health and well being. If there is anyone at all who reads this, and understands the situation I am in. I please ask of you to donate whatever you can. I need this more than anybody could imagine. I feel like I am now in a race to save my own life, but limited by money unfortunately. Thank you to whoever takes the time to read this. As ive stated my procedure is around $10,000 and I know how much money it actually is. But any donation at all will get me closer to the care I really need.

Need help with painful teeth.

Hello!

I’m usually someone who tries to help give to others and I’m not use to asking for help. However, I’m a young student with a part-time job who has some dental issues that are not only causing lots of pain but are also currently/ possibly could cause healthy issues. I work as much as possible but still won’t have enough to get half the work I need done. I would ask family members but the only close family I have is my mom who is also not in a good enough finical spot to help (as much as I know she would love to, I won’t ask her to risk putting her further behind). So I’m here to ask for some much needed help getting dental work done to help fix my painful teeth.

I have many steps and procedures that have to be done. First,  I have some impacted wisdom teeth that need to be removed. I have four in total that need to be removed, the surgery is costly plus the needed anesthetic raises the price. Second I has one tooth that could possible use a root canal. It has started it’s process of being fixed but I don’t have enough to pay for further treatment. Lastly, I will need years of braces. Getting in to see a orthodontic is expensive but then add on braces that I will need for a minimum of a year and a half.  If I could get my wisdom teeth removed and the braces it would eliminate a lot of daily pain I have and would stop my teeth from getting much worse and stop the possibility of any health issues starting because of my teeth. I would love to not only get rid of the pain but feel comfortable smiling again.

I’ve tried to help people as much as possible through out my life ( it was just the way I was raised) so I understand sometimes people just have things happen at unfortunate times. I really wish I didn’t have to ask for help but any small amount could really save a lot of pain. Thank you to anyone who reads this and to anyone who donates!

Much love.

Emergency Dental Extraction

Hello, my name is Antonio. I recently moved across the country to be near my younger sister who is having medical issues. A few days ago, my bottom right wisdom tooth cracked open. I rushed myself to the local Emergency Room due to vision impairment, jaw pain and pressure, and shooting pain from the wisdom tooth. The Doctor informed me, after several tests and a ct scan, that I had an impacted wisdom tooth that had become infected and started to abscess. I was put on 10 days worth of Augmentin 875mg and TRAMADOL 50mg.  I already couldnt afford the emergency room visit, and now was informed I have to see an oral surgeon to cut the tooth out and remove the abscess, not a dentist.  After explaining my financial situation, or lack thereof, to multiple offices, I was told it must be paid In full. I do not have dental insurance, I was denied care credit, and my city/state does not have programs available to help me. I’ve reached out to specific charities and groups and was told I can be reimbursed, but they do not pay up front. I do not have much family, my mom and my sister, who are no in no standing to assist me. I’m out of options, and I truly believe that I’m going to have to wait til unrepairable damage is done before I can get it helped. The emergency room said they do not keep oral surgeons on staff. What do I do? I have been so stressed and thinking about other ways to make this end. I just started a job In my new city where I have been having to take off work, who knows how long they will allow this to go on.

The appointment to get stays done is going to be 75$ + 50$ for the Xrays.

The tooth and abscess extraction Is going to cost me 600.00$ – 800.00$ (one oral surgeon said if I do all the tests with them, they will deduct 15% from the total bill).

I tried to upload pictures but I can not get the file types small enough, however I can present my doctor paperwork.

Anything will help, I have never been a person to ask for help, but today is that day, and my time is running out.

I do not expect any help. But appreciate any! In return  When I am financially caught up, I will return the favor to the next person right here on this website and platform.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this, may whatever diety you believe in bless you.

Help Need for Urgent Dental Surgery

Takes a deep breath, this is actually extremely hard to write because I have never asked for help before.

But I sit here overwhelmed with all the information that was given thinking what am I going to do.  Like many others I had significant amount of dental work over the last 10 years.  About 5 years ago I went to a dentist where I was living at the time because I was experiencing horrid tooth, gum pain and my teeth were crumbling. The dentist said due to reflux, esophageal issues and high level of acid in my mouth it was causing my teeth to decay rapidly.  During the visit he said I needed to have 6 up front teeth removed because of an infection and it was urgent and he said multiple teeth on the bottom needed to be removed ASAP.  The dentist against my concerns drilled into another tooth and crown/bridge that was already in place so that the parcel could hook on to.

I followed his recommendation and got a vanity parcel, my insurance at that time paid nothing which was a huge financial burden but I did it.  Which irony in tack I just paid that bill off from 3 years ago last month.   Recently the parcel has been given me significant amount of trouble. It consistently falls down or fall out of my mouth as I am talking to someone which is highly embarrassing.  I am a receptionist so I am constantly assisting and talking to people in front of me.  I am not able to bite down at without the parcel falling down or out of my mouth.  Due to my lack of teeth on the bottom I have an extremely hard time chewing that is painful.   And now within the last month I have developed several large painful like blisters that the dentist has explained to me that are dental fistulas and abscesses that are infected and has started to cause some major bone loss in my jaw.  The infections has now spread into all my teeth.   The dental surgeon and my PCP are concerned that I have had an increase in migraine headaches and most medications do not seem to be helping.   They feel it is linked to the dental problems I am facing.  To add more concern and stress the infection has spread into my blood and could be causing other health related issues I am experiencing and adding stress my heart.  The consistent migraines make functional daily very hard, mouth pain and missing teeth has made it hard to eat and I am humiliated to smile and show teeth because the image is disgusting.

The surgeon has expressed the urgency of the surgery due to the infection in all my remaining teeth and the amount of pain I am in all the time.  I have considered all my options of doing the surgery, but they said I need to get this done in the next month.   I am tentatively scheduled for surgery 07/01 with the terrifying reality that I need an insane amount a money that I know I will never be able to come up with.

I am honestly terrified… I am 40 years old single female, I work full time and my reality is I cannot afford this surgery and I don’t have family that can help at all.   A friend suggested I try asking others for help…

So here I am asking if anyone is willing to help someone who is overwhelmed and desperate for help.

Phase one: Multiple Surgical Extractions, Multiple Dental Implant, IV Sedation
Phase two: Multiple Implant – placement  ~~ Total = $27,000.00

Dental Compression, X-rays, Molding,  Bone Filler, Multiple Implants (teeth), Surgical Time ~~~ Total = $33,000.00

Full surgical cost = $60,000.00

Prays for a miracle…

I would be beyond eternally grateful if you would consider donating any amount towards helping me.

If you are able to and find it in your heart to help I would appreciate it more than words can ever express..

Daughter desperately needs braces

Hello. My name is Regina Ullery. I have one child, a daughter, still living with me, and a son who is grown and moved out. The reason I’m here is to ask people for help with paying for my daughter’s braces, which will roughly cost around $3000-$4000. Ever since my daughter was little, she had her teeth growing in on top of the baby teeth, or behind, or to the side! This is similar to “shark teeth.” This is extremely uncomfortable for her because she often times will bite the insides of her lips and gums, many times leaving her to have to deal with not only the pain but also the sores the bites leave behind.

My daughter is one of the best people you could ever know! If she sees someone who is being bullied or just doesn’t have many or any friends, she will quickly go to them, sit with them, and try to befriend them, without a second thought to what the other kids think about it! She just turned 15 and is going to be a Sophmore next year and she has been tremendously patient about waiting for these braces that she has been told she needs ever since she was 13.

I am just not able to pay for this much of a cost at this time. I am seeking employment but not having much luck and slowly falling into more and more debt. I am also in the process of seeking out at least temporary disability because I was hit by a car a few years ago and I have been having more and more pain in my back, hip, knee, and lower leg because of this.

My hope is that I will be able to return this act of kindness to another family in need somewhere in the future. Without a doubt, I know my daughter will give back to the world in many positive ways in the future as well. She wants to help people by going into the medical field, starting with taking CNA classes while still in HS and then later possibly going for a medical degree. Her ultimate desire is to be a pediatric surgeon!

If you find it in your heart to donate, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!

Dental help IN PAIN!!!

I need help! I have been trying to find a way to get my teeth done for years and every dentist I go to wants at least $4,000. I just turned 30 years old and have two small daughters, Nina and Madison. My daughter Nina asked me the other day after I took her to the dentist “mommy when are you going to fix your teeth?” It broke my heart. I never ask for help and I’m not even so much asking for money but just for maybe a dentist out there who can take me in and is local but I don’t mind driving if it’s in Florida. I need my back teeth pulled out, about 4 crowns added and root canals for the teeth that need the crowns. I had one crown fall out and couldn’t afford to get it replaced and now I have nothing there. If you can find it in your heart to either pay for my dentist bill, take me in and do it for me, or even donate anything, I would highly appreciate it. My husband can’t find much work. He’s working as a landscaper, I have a job working 40 hours a week but that goes to light, water, my kid’s school, the rent which I still have to pay April off and the late fee that comes with it. I’m just always a month behind so to even this I can somehow squeeze my teeth in will never happen that’s why I’m 30 years old with such bad teeth. I’m always in pain. I ask from the bottom of my heart for someone to please help me somehow. I know I’m going on and on but I don’t know what else to do, I was just saying to my husband if there was just some way I can find a dentist to do it as a donation for me or someone to help me I would forever be thankful, I have no insurance other than something that’s called share cost but doesn’t cover the dental I need because they consider it cosmetic which is CRAZY I’m in pain and need my teeth to eat. I have no back teeth and I’m ruining my side and front teeth. I included a picture so hopefully, a dentist or someone who can help is able to see what I need. I know the pic I attached, I need a root canal and crown for that tooth. I’m in a lot of pain all the time from it.  Thank you for this opportunity and I hope I didn’t carry on, God Bless!

Dental procedure for abscessed and cracked tooth

Hello,

This is the first time I use a fundraising platform, I do not have other option. Because I delayed it 7 days already, and this is a serious condition.

I am grateful to God and existence because excepting this tragedy, my health is perfect. Though I was very depressed when I found out what happened. It’s about my tooth.

At first, it was necessary only the root canal procedure (as this was not horror enough), I delayed it 2 years. I was so naive that I thought the science would discover something that can heal a tooth decayed to the pulp. And I would afford the treatment. I was delusional.

During those 2 years I had 2 “attacks”. My gum and face swelled so much that I went to hospital. The doctor from the emergency room would use syringe to pull out the puss. I used antibiotics and I went back to normal. Not to mention about extreme dental pain I had at the beginning.

Everything started when my fillings fallen. I went to doctor with my Mom when I was really small, I had a cavity and the doctor filled it.

And with time while my tooth was developing the fill has fallen. At least this is what my Mom thinks. I didn’t notice it falled so the cavity evolved.

The previously week my tooth cracked while I was eating something. I ran immediately home (I wasn’t home). I have an abscessed tooth. I discussed with the doctor and the total procedure is priced at 2000$:

• Fillings – 300$
• Root canal therapy – 700$
• Dental crown – 1000$

I have 1000$ out of this amount and the doctor says it cannot be delayed, this requires immediately intervention. As this was not enough, now half of it is broken. It is so bad that I have only half of it. I can see my gum… With my naked eye!

Fortunately, unless I open my mouth really wide, and you pay attention to it, you cannot see the abscessed tooth. This is because it is placed at the corner of my mouth, where are “the hidden teeths”, to be more specifically.

The emergency is really big, I have to pay all the amount otherwise the procedure would not start. And I have no one to help me. Me and my Mother. I do not have another 1000$, and I want to avoid other complications, an abscessed tooth can lead to severally other problems.

In my country the Dollar is very powerful, even though the prices for medical services and electronics are mainly the same across the world, the income of jobs varies dramatically from country to country. I am staying like that for a week, I barely gathered 1000$ from my savings and Mom’s help.

I’m in the third decade of my life (20 years, to be more specifically), but never heard of other peers the same age as me needing the root canal procedure, and dental crowns. If my job would be enough I would pay alone all the procedure but is very expensive compared to the minimum wage. I need 1000$ to finish the procedure.

Hope you understand. Any help is welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Dentophobia

Hello let me give you a little background on why I have a fear of the dentist. As a child growing up my mother would take me and my brothers had this new at the time dentist to our area. When we would go all 3 of us would always need return visits for more work to our teeth. This dentist would pretend that he was numbing our mouth’s and then proceed to do the work amongst our whimpers and complaints of feeling everything and being in pain. I thought it was just myself but later found out my brother’s had the same experience… root canals.. filling’s. It was if he got off on inflicting pain upon us small children. We complained to our mother from sobbing tears what was happening but she wasn’t a good mother unfortunately and told us we basically were lying and we didn’t know what we were talking about. It was always a panic and fear getting no sleep at night before an appointment. We always tried to pretend we were “sick.” My worst experience was having him do a big front tooth filling and he literally drilled my front tooth off leaving me with nothing but this itty bitty stub which another dentist had stuck a fake tooth over it to avoid lawsuit I believe. As I grew up into my younger adult years I started having teeth fall apart finding what seemed to be cotton where fillings should of been. It’s just been a horrible road of dealing with abscessed teeth. I have never smiled in pictures.. I just can’t. So it leaves me to where I am now my mouth so bad and broken that I need to have what 21 remaining broken teeth I have out and dentures put in the top and bottom. The quoted cost’s I have gotten from random places would be $15,000.00 and for someone like me whom barely makes it living from paycheck to paycheck as a single mom. My yearly income is 29,000.00 so there is no putting money aside for anything which makes me sad and upset.Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my request.

Broken Jaw Repair

Hi there,

Recently, while at a friends destination wedding, I broke my jaw. It was a very unfortunate circumstance, not to mention very painful! Thank goodness this happened after the wedding reception and well into the next day, so I didn’t ruin anything on their special evening together.

As luck would have it, I was chasing my friends children around the pool area. As I was running, I looked back and in an instant, everything went black. Turns out when I turned back around there was a face height bar that I had missed and I hit it with a running force. Right to my mouth. I shattered one of my teeth and the upper part of my jaw was broken and fell about about a half inch down. It was just hanging in there.

My friends rushed me to the hospital right away. But because the wedding was on a weekend and the area we were in was remote, there were no dental surgeons that could help me at the time. We had to make our way back to the hotel, where I had to wait until the next day to get driven back to the city. When I got back home, a specialist had time to see me. However, he only had time on Monday, so I had to wait yet another day to go in. Leaving me with a broken jaw for two whole days!236

Because I had to wait so long for surgery, the dental surgeon couldn’t save my front teeth. I had to have the roots removed right away, due to the infection that got into them. Then my front teeth had to be shoved back up into place. From there, they had to be braced and now, I need multiple gum surgeries and the two teeth removed. Then eventually I will need to get two front teeth implants, so I don’t look like a permanent hockey player.

I’m looking for a last resort solution to my problem. My mother raised four daughters on her own and I have no grandparents left, or I would have asked one of them for help. I’m not big on asking other people for things, but desperate times call for it. I live in one of the most expensive cities in North America and work at a job that doesn’t supply medical care for employees. I found this cite online and it seemed like a decent thing to try as a last option.

Dental help, PLEASE!

I need help! I have been trying to find away to get my teeth done and every dentist I go to wants at least $4,000. I just turned 30 years old and have two small daughters, Nina and Madison. My daughter Nina asked me the other day after I took her to the dentist “mommy when are you going to fix your teeth?” It broke my heart. I never ask for help and I’m not even so much asking for money but just for maybe a dentist out there who can take me in and is local but I don’t mind driving if it’s in Florida. I need my back teeth pulled out, about 4 crowns added and  root canals for the teeth that need the crowns. I had one crown fall out and couldn’t afford to get it replaced and now I have nothing there. If you can find it in your heart to either pay for my dentist bill, take me in and do it for me, or even donate anything, I would highly appreciate it. My husband can’t find much work. He’s working as a landscaper, I have a job working 40 hours a week but that goes to rent, light, water, school for my kids, rent which I still have to pay April off and the late fee that comes with it. I’m just always a month behind so to even this I can somehow squeeze my teeth in will never happen that’s why I’m 30 years old with such bad teeth. I’m always in pain. I ask from the bottom of my heart for someone to please help me somehow. I know I’m going on and on but I don’t know what else to do, I was just saying to my husband if there was just someway I can find a dentist to do it as a donation for me or someone to help me I would forever be thankful, I have no insurance other than something that’s called share cost but doesn’t cover the dental I need because they consider it cosmetic which is CRAZY I’m in pain and need my teeth to eat. I have no back teeth and I’m ruining my side and front teeth. I included pictures so hopefully a dentist or someone who can help are able to see what I need and the pain I’m in. Thank you for this opportunity and I hope I didn’t carry on, God Bless!

Need a little help with oral surgery bills

i originally had asked for about 30,000.  I believe I can do what needs to be done for about 20 instead.  i’m asking for donations for help with oral surgery bills and removal of abcessed teeth.  i’m at paypal.me/ammermans if you can help me some.  i’m not better than anybody else but i’m just as deserving.  i’ve worked hard for the last 50 years plus, my husband is a retired fireman and volunteer now.  we just need some help and this would be all we would really probably EVER need.  i only ask because insurance will not pay for any of this.  it’s staggering to see what it will cost me to fix me BUT i will come up with most of the money myself some how – i just need help – in the amount of 20,000.   if you are rich – i hope you can see your way to a donation that would help us.  we don’t ask for all of it – just enough to get us going so we can finish it out ourselves.  we need help – i don’t expect full payment for everything – just some help – and it’s staggering to me at 20 grand BUT if i can get that, that has me half way or better on my way.

i sincerely hope that if you do have enough to gift without it harming you or your loved ones, then i’ m asking for help.  if you barely make it – keep it – i don’t want to have a guilty feeling taking from those who need it themselves.

i’m just asking for half or so – that’s enough to get me started and it gives me a little time to save.

please give if you can.  if you can’t and you are reading this – then i ask only for a prayer from you – that is a gift as well.  not all gifts have to be money – i’ll be grateful for prayers too.  it’s not cheap offering prayers either – you give of yourself instead of your accounts.

if you can – i’m asking for help – assistance – not for all of it – just enough to give me time.  our house not has gone up every year for the last 3 years.  our house insurance doubled this year.  our vehicle insurance doubled this year.  i have a lot on my three plates full – and i’m not asking for help there.

i am only asking for enough to get us one foot out of the hole – i’ll get the other one out some how some way.

thank you for reading and if you don’t give, then i hope someone gives to you. even if it is just a prayer.

Just Want My Smile Back

Hello all! I’m hoping someone’s able to help me, even slightly. I’ve been trying to find a way to afford getting my teeth fixed, but have had no luck doing it myself. I had state dental insurance until 21, but when I finally went in for treatment and tried to get things scheduled at 20 (when I found out I had dental coverage), they were scheduling out past my 21st birthday, so I would’ve had to pay out of pocket for that. As a young woman that is financially independent, that’s just simply not in the books for me.

My dental health has been doomed from the start. I was born to two parents that never cared for their teeth (so never taught us to do so), in a home with “egg water” (extremely high sulfur content), and in a small town that didn’t push dental health in schools. Then, I was placed in foster care and moved from home to home, so none of my medical needs were kept up with due to a lack of communication. Then, when finally adopted, my adoptive parents neglected to take me to the dentist because my teeth were “already so bad” they said there was no hope and no reason to “waste the money”. So here I am, 21 years old, with horrible teeth. My front tooth broke in half last year, and I have a feeling the one next to it is going to start decaying worse soon. I have all 4 wisdom teeth still that cause me endless migraines, and who knows how many cavities. I don’t have an exact number yet, but I can tell you that I’m making an effort of my own. I’ve cut out soda, as much sugar as I can from my diet, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke, I don’t chew gum, eat hard candies… I try to avoid anything I can that could further harm my teeth. I’ve started brushing and flossing 3 times a day, even carrying a travel kit with me to brush and floss after lunch. I use the “listerine method” I found online, where a dentist suggested brushing your entire mouth and guns with straight listerine after brushing your teeth every night. I use a water pick at night to get every tiny speck of food out of my gums. I’m trying.

I just want my smile back.

I want to be able to laugh at jokes, speak to customers, go on job interviews without covering my mouth.

I want to feel beautiful again just by smiling.

I hope someone out there is able to sympathize with me and help me out. Even just slightly.

Thank you for your time.

A Whole Mouth Full of Trouble

I don’t want to sound like I’m special or more deserving than anyone else here asking for financial help.  Yes, i have abuse stories and they say that children who are abused, tend to have dental fiascos.  I’m another one of those children.  Growing up in rural georgia, we could not afford dental insurance.  we couldn’t even afford life insurance.  it wasn’t until i was in my 40s when i remarried that we got some insurance – 1200 a year – which doesn’t really cover anything other than extractions and that’s what i did.  i wasn’t aware that when you pull a tooth, the jaw begins to disappear on you.  the other day i went to the “dentist” for a cleaning and the girl was so rough, she cracked a crown.  a week later, it fell off in my hands at the gum line. now i’m out front teeth AND a tooth cut off that has to be removed.  i have no recourse left.  i’m a good person.  i do not drink and i do not smoke and i do not do drugs.  i’m a product of poor care and stupid decisions in picking people to help me.  i am begging for help here.  i don’t need to smile and grin for photos – i want to talk.  i want to eat a sandwich for the first time in YEARS like everybody else.  i want to chew food.  i’m not pretty so it’s not got anything to do with my looks.  i’m begging those of you out there who can help to please please help me.  i can only give an approximate amount and if it’s not enough i will raise the rest in some way by selling off things until nothing is left.  my husband is a fireman and a truck driver and we have never had what i guess some call a luxury of money.  we have worked really hard and we keep things because it’s so expensive to replace things – we keep cars for 20 years.  furniture a lifetime – and we take care of everything.  this is something that i take 50% of the responsibility for – but without money – and no teeth – i’m afraid my life will lose more than that 50% of worth.  I am a writer, a poet.  i am not paid for it but if i can write or help in order to help pay back, i would gladly do that.  I’m not going to tell you my abuse story – you’ve read it all before.  there are way too many of us out there struggling just to make ends meet – or in this case – i just want the real luxury of eating like a normal person.  right now, i’m losing a lot of weight because i’m so afraid to eat.  and i already just weigh 99 lbs.  i’m not asking for more than i need – just enough to please, i beg you from my heart and soul out to yours – please help me.  i will write for you, write poetry for you, or whatever i can do to help pay back the kindness i am begging for right now.   please help me.  i’m not one to ask for help but i’m at the bottom right now and the light is out.  i feel hopeless and worthless and it would be a great miracle if you – you who has enough to help me out – to please – please help me.  i will do what i can to repay. thank you for reading and taking the time out of your day.    i hope and pray your day is wonderful and i do hope you find it in your heart to help me.  i’ve run out of options and money and hope.  being hopeless, feeling worthless is a HUGE battle to fight on a day to day basis.     please, i am begging….if you can….and are fortunate – please help.   you will never regret helping others.  your heart and soul will expand greatly by helping those in need.    may GOD bless you and may heaven stay in your heart!     the only image i would post would be of my mouth and i don’t think the world needs to see that to know it requires help.  My husband is having spinal surgery in a week or two – so we have that going on as well right now.    it’s more than just a full plate – it’s three plates full.  anything can help – and i’m begging for that help now.

Please Help with my mouth reconstruction!

Hi all-  My name is Yonie- I’m 25 years old, and desperately need help paying for my mouth reconstruction. . I know many of you might think dental work is a luxury. But for a surviving rape victim it would be a chance to not only a new smile, better health and a chance to finally eat my meals and enjoy them.But to also know what it’s like for people to not make fun of my mouth, or have constant bad breath & toothaches so bad it keeps you up all night.


I grew up in a very abusive/strict housing, notice I said housing now home?  Growing up I wasn’t happy , but I was grateful for the little I did have. But after my 12 birthday, things took a change for the worse. I was sexually and mentally abused , and by a very abusive dad who wanted a daughter and wife all in one. it lasted until I was 18.I was beaten, neglected when it came to health visits, kept home from school, and force to perform sexual acts to earn the privilege  to eat, get money for clothes and and other things a teenage girl might need growing up. All while still having to pretend ( out of fear for me and my younger siblings) that everything was okay. After years of assault and trying to survive, one last physical and mental abuse session had forced me to move out.

Fast forward 7 years later and I’m still trying to fix the issue and situations I had no choice in, which brings me to why I’m asking for help. Over the years my mouth have been decaying despite me trying to keep everything in tack, I don’t smoke nor do I do any other drugs. Yet my teeth won’t stay in my mouth . I was told at 13 on one of my rare dentist visits, that by 20 I’d have either have no teeth left or would be wearing dentures.  I’ve lost most of my teeth already, and some are broken down because of desperate acts to get the pain to stop. I can’t chew food properly, It hurts to chew. It hurts brushing my teeth or if cold or hot things come in contact with my mouth. I have seen many dentists looking for a solutions , but they all tell me the same thing.. That my mouth has too many damages and would need more work then I could afford.

 

I’ve been trying to save money to get my mouth fixed, but with all my other expenses and financial problems .. I can’t catch a break here. I’m tired of crying about it because tears don’t help and self pity doesn’t either.

Which leads me to asking for help, I have gone to a cosmetic dentist to see what can be done to stop further loss of teeth and possibly just get the bad ones removed until I could afford to do more. But like I’ve mentioned  before things are now so bad, my mouth reconstruction would costs a total of $58k. Dental insurance won’t cover anything, and I’ve been searching high and low for a solution but sadly to no avail.

 

Honestly I know that’s a lot of money, but anything helps! And I’d be beyond grateful for any help big or small. Even a prayer or advice if anyone knows of sites or programs that can’t at least lessen the financial stress. I would love to just feel confident again and not be in pain or be constantly reminded of that horrible time in my life .

Like Anyone Else I need Help

Hello dear nice people
My name is Elena and because I am writing this letter I am need of money.
My trouble did not start yesterday and I wasn’t scammed by anyone but life itself. The debt has been accumulating for years now.
I have an excellent credit score but it doesn’t help me in any way.
I do not make this debt because I spent it on vacation, I do not drink or smoke – all my debts are for real problems that life throw at us daily.
I am in debt because things happened, like an emergency kidney stone that we thought is an appendectomy, or a car broken down on a freeway, a broken dental bridge and a business that lost because of Google algorithm.
Credit cards increased their interest all the time and no matter how much I am trying I can not keep up with it.
I am asking for help if you can, of course. I promise to help other people too once I come back on my feet.
I do help homeless people as much as I can, I always think that I am fortunate to have a roof over my head at night.
This help that I will get here will free my mind and help my health because I am losing nights tossing and turning in bed how to make more money.
I am a really good person and I am amazed that I am in a situation where I need to ask for help- anything you can spare will be appreciated.
I am 53 years old, and believe it or not I can’t find a job, and I am pretty smart in computers but not enough to be hired I guess.
This request is made as a last resort, thank you for reading.
My husband and I share the same PayPal account. I did not ad any pictures because my debts are on different credit cards plus anyone can see my private information.

If you want to help please use this link:

Thank you.
