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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 .

Thank you for taking time to read my story. I am a 36 year old woman but I feel like I’m 90 at times. I’ve battled multiple serious illnesses since 2012, underwent several surgeries, and spent months in the hospital. Unfortunately, some of the strong medications I received long-term damaged my teeth terribly. I stayed so sick from mid-2015 until the end of 2017 that I dropped down to 110 lbs. (I’m 5’7″). I also went through a time of constant vomiting (14 months), which contributed greatly to the extreme tooth damage. I have a broken front tooth; I cant smile anymore. I have 4 molars that are either broken in half, cracked, or have huge cavities. The jagged edges cut my tongue constantly and I’ve never had sensitive teeth but Oh Man! I do now…ouch!

I am desperately seeking donations to pay for dental surgery that will both remove my badly damaged teeth that hurt constantly, and replace them with permanent implants. The thought of dentures at my age literally brings tears…I’m too young and will hold out as long as I can if I have to go that route. I’ve always taken care of my teeth but the damage seems to have eaten away from the gums down and started inside the teeth. Unfortunately, it took a major toll in a short years time.

I feel as though I’m rambling, but I’m new to all of this online fundraising and cant believe I’m actually posting. I’m the one that usually reads and donates but I am desperately seeking any kind of help to fix my teeth. Please help me get my smile back.

I am asking for $12,000 to pay for implants to replace my missing teeth. I miss being able to smile when my daughter wants a selfie with me. I want to laugh when I hear a joke without covering my mouth. I want people to quit staring at my mouth when we talk. I want to be able to actually eat food instead of depending on juice, cereal, and other soft foods. I just want to be the confident woman I once was.

If you’re still here, thank you again for reading my story. For those that feel led to donate: THANK YOU!

Thank you for your time, since you’re reading this!
I’m in the process of having 3 dental implants, all in my upper smile line–3 teeth missing from my smile obviously made me feel hideous, and I speak to a lot of people in my job.
I had the 3 implants placed in my jawbone on 1/22/19 ($5,973, two years on Care Credit), and sometime between April and July 2019 they will add the 3 abutments and 3 crowns ($7,170, two years on Care Credit), depending on how fast I heal.
I’ll get checked on 3/28/19.  With the initial $315 imaging , the grand total for these 3 implants is $13,458!  See photo of my treatment plan from my Nov. 2018 evaluation.

Of course, I’m paying as much as I possibly can, certainly more than the minimum.  But with the other bills that come with being an adult, I simply can’t pay all this off in 2 years, and then I’ll get slammed with Care Credit’s retroactive interest.  If I can get out from under this crushing dental debt, I will gladly pay it forward and contribute to others in need on here!

Also, having to take on this dental debt has derailed a significant dream of mine–I was planning on relocating from Florida to Montana in summer 2019, but now, who knows when I’ll be able to do this.  Moving to Montana has been my dream for many years, and I want to do it while I’m blessed with a job that will let me transfer.

I’m sure you’d want to know a little about anyone you might donate money to: I’m 35, and I’ve worked full-time in unarmed security for 4 years (promoted last year), and before that I held the same customer service job at a local small business for 12 years.  I returned to school in 2018 to work on a BBA in Accounting (maintaining a 4.0), so I do have long-term goals.  If not for this crippling dental dent, I could be moving AND making an early dent in my student loans!

As someone who’s very on top of my finances, having to ask for help is hard to swallow.  I paid off my car loan 2 years early.  I’ve read “The Complete Tightwad Gazette” and it helped me see that frugality and saving are empowering things, so I really am careful with money–I don’t go to movies, bars, hardly even restaurants.  And of course things could be worse, but this is just overwhelming to me… I can’t see a way out from under this on my own.  So even if you can only donate $1, $5, $10, etc., it adds up, and it will ONLY be used for these Care Credit bills!

Thank you so much!

I’m not asking for huge amounts of money. I’m okay with my life, though it would be nice to be able to visit a doctor or dentist when needed.  I don’t need to be rich. I just need dental work so I can continue TO work. I work in the service industry and its all I know. My teeth have gotten so bad because I don’t have insurance and cannot afford to have them fixed. I live by my tips and they usually pay the bills but not much else.  Ive had to decide on fixing teeth or paying rent and power for many years and now its time to pay the piper. I’ve avoided the dentist for so long that my mouth is just awful. I’m missing so many teeth. I had a partial plate that didn’t fit very well but it did give the illusion of a smile as long as I didn’t smile too big, but one of the teeth that it clipped to has broken. Now I have 3 missing front teeth. I cannot work like this and am incredibly embarrassed to interview anywhere else. My back teeth have broken as well and I am in pain more often than not. And I can’t chew anything except softer foods. I just want to be able to smile again. More importantly I need to be able to work. I have rent and pets that need flea medicine and vet visits. I’m already worried about being evicted because my little bit of savings are gone and I can’t work looking like this. Who wants a toothless server or bartender? People would assume the worst about me; that my teeth are so bad because of drugs but that’s not the case. Its from years and years of neglecting to have dental care. I’m so afraid of what’s going to happen to me if I don’t get dental help. I have tried local programs and dentists but I don’t qualify for assistance and no dentist will help me on a payment plan that I might could afford. Its all or nothing. I have a pleasant face until I smile. I’m so embarrassed and embarrassed as well to ask for help like this but I am truly desperate. There is no one to help me or lend me the money I need. I’m not asking for 50k for dental implants or anything crazy like that. Just some dentures that look okay. They don’t even have to be the better ones. Chicklets would look better than what I have now. And yes, there is a little vanity to it. Nobody wants broken rotted teeth. But more than that, its about living. I’m afraid I can’t make a living and I’m also afraid that my terrible dental issues will lead to other health problems. I have teeth that are broken at the gym line and need to be cut out before they cause problems in the jaw itself and I know bad teeth can lead to heart problems. I’m 45 years old and scared of all of these things. I dont know if anyone can/will actually help me or not. There are so many others who need help but if you are reading this, I thank you for taking the time to “hear” my story. If you choose not to help, I understand and wish you well but if you can help and do so, please know that you would be changing my life by giving me back my smile. Thank you for reading this far and thank you so much for considering me when so many others need help as well.

Hello – my name is Rochelle, and I have bad teeth.  This is my story.

I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy ten years ago, and he is the best thing that has ever happened in my life.  He is bright and creative, and he loves cats.  When he was four, he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.  I worked in a department store for several years and in that time saw my insurance premiums go up and my benefits go down, but I figured I was doing what I could.  Then my little boy started kindergarten.

It was an overwhelming change for him, going from a couple of hours a day in a daycare so close to our apartment that he could look out the window and see home to a large and industrial-feeling building two miles away, where he spent seven hours in a classroom of eighteen students.  He enjoyed learning and even made a couple of friends, but the enormity of the experience was often too much for him and he would throw things to the floor or hide in a cabinet.  He would be escorted to a small room with one adult and if he could regain composure, return to class.

We visited with a case manager.  A therapist. A speech therapist. A social worker.  A behavioral interventionist. A psychiatrist who tried prescriptions that failed as often as they succeeded.  By the spring, he was spending six hours a day in “seclusion.” When the school felt there was no more they could do, they would call me and ask me to take him home, with the understanding that he would return the next morning with a clean slate and the chance to have a better day.  When I got these calls an average of three or four days a week, I felt I was near my breaking point and my employer was not sympathetic. When given an ultimatum, I chose my son.

He was transferred to a larger school that had a wing for special needs children, where they had smaller class sizes but also the opportunity to interact with the average children if they were up to it. This had its ups and downs, but my son is tenacious and he has always looked forward to school, regardless of its challenges, due in part to the wonderful teachers who have come to care for the boy with the lovely blue eyes and offbeat sense of humor, one manifestation of which is a collection of t-shirts with cats on them.  Cartoon cats. Unicorn cats.  Cats eating ice cream.

I have not had insurance for years, but my son is covered under my state’s plan for low-income children.  My teeth were not in the best shape to begin with, but they have deteriorated considerably.  Five are broken (one of those is just a stub of root that penetrates the gum) and one is completely gone.  I have two impacted wisdom teeth and a swelling in my jaw below the missing tooth (see photo).  Yesterday I saw a nurse practitioner who gave me some antibiotics to bring down the swelling and a mandate to find some way to get to a dentist as soon as the infection is controlled.

I am humiliated to think about what my mouth must look like. I am embarrassed to be asking complete strangers for help.  I know my chances are small, but I would be so immensely grateful for any help one might offer. Last night I had a nightmare about my teeth falling out into the sink and I was unable to sleep after that. I don’t want to be in need.  Damn it, I want to be okay so I can focus on being the best mama I can be, and not wrapped up in pain and feelings of guilt and powerlessness.

Hello, I have no where else to turn. I’m a 48 year old dad of 3 great kids. I have not smiled big in over 20 years and in these last 5 years I can barely chew food.

I went to clear choice dental solutions, they specialize In teeth implants. I had a free 3D CT scan of my jaws and they said I’m a perfect candidate for the procedure and have no bone loss. The problem is the cost. $25,000 for full upper and $25,000 for full lower. After talking with the consultant and the doctor and hearing my story they approved me for in-house financing with a $20,000 payment. They will give me permanent teeth for 20k down. I dont have it I’ve managed to save around $2000 and life keeps asking for it.. I live week to week and cant seem to advance to get this done. I want so much to be able to sme without hiding my teeth and eat with proper digestion.. I’m also single and don’t seem to be able to attract women once they see my teeth when I talk. I’m 7yrs clean of all drugs and I no longer smoke cigarettes (2yrs). I fell into drugs while divorce was in affect 8yrs ago. I have no criminal record and just need help to get this done.. please message me through paypal if u have terms if u assist me. Please help me get my prayer answered.

Hey all, I’m Jen. I’m someone who hasn’t made the best choices in life. I never felt like I fit in and as a result spent many years depressed. I made poor choices, racked up credit card debt and student loan debt. I went many years without paying my bills and as a result defaulted on my student loans. I had a gambling problem to which I put myself on exclusion lists, so I could get it under control and I’m proud to say I do not gamble anymore. I have made great strides over the past 10 years and I have paid off all of my debit except for my student loads. I still owe just shy of 32k on them and I continue to make monthly payments, yet I don’t feel like I am getting anywhere.

I am also a Type 1 diabetic and the cost of my medications, WITH INSURANCE, takes most of my paycheck after rent, car payment, utilities and food. I also just found out that I have periodontal disease and will require an extensive amount of dental work, so I am asking for $40,000 in order to pay off my student loans and cover the cost of any dental work needed.

I work full time, am a good person who made some crappy decisions in life, but I am working hard to make a better life for myself. I just want a fresh start and need help paying off the last remaining, largest bill I have. I know this is a lot, and I know everyone has a reason to need money. But I even if I don’t get anyone to donate, I’ve lost nothing, it’s worth a shot. I hope you consider helping me, and if not, could you please share this with someone who might?

Thank you for the consideration and I promise to pay it forward if I have the means to.

I’m Sonna Polazzo from Michigan and I pray that this lands in the perfect hands that God has chosen for me on the receiving end of this. I had a remarkable thing happen to me in 2004, I felt incredibly liberated from others’ standards for the first time in a long time. My entire life I was independent, had my own drive, raised my son, worked full time, and even managed to get two college degrees, with my parent’s help, thankfully. I wanted to ensure I could take care of my son and I because I didn’t want to rely on anyone. So, truly I was elated in June 2004. It was almost a year before that that I was suffering, going through a divorce because my police officer, control freak, jealous husband had strayed for the second time, and this time he had a true interest in the woman. Even though he did me the greatest favor, it did hurt badly at the time. But, not only did he have psychological problems, he was addicted to OxyContin, which made my life an even bigger Hell. When I left, I literally felt like I had come off some type of battlefield. Before I forget, two months before I found out my husband was cheating, I was put on paid administrative leave because my direct boss was sexually harassing me—yeah! Oh, whatta year 2003 was! So, I do whatever everyone else does to get through divorces. I lost material things but gained a lot of wisdom. I had to move into my brother’s home with his family. My 11-year old son had to share a room with his much younger cousin. However, we were very thankful because being around family is what we needed. After I built myself back up mentally, physically, and spiritually, I started looking for new employment. It seemed like it took forever, but finally, in June 2004, I interviewed with this public relations firm, downtown in my city where I loved and worked my entire career. I couldn’t believe how good the interview went. The pay and benefits were outstanding! I happily accepted when they offered me the position of Office Administrator. In my heart it was if God was saying, see this is what I had you wait for. I felt like my life took off again from there. . . .  however, was that meant to be?

I jumped into my new role at my office in June 2004 and I loved it! Both of my bosses were left-handed, which was surprising to me because I am too. I had two coworkers that I was fond of, a female and a male. We all seemed to mesh well together. Things certainly spun around for me at breakneck speeds all the way into 2006. That’s when I started feeling off.

I started getting flulike symptoms, depression, lethargic and other symptoms that I shouldn’t have been feeling. Then one day I found it, a large lump on the left side of my left breast. It was a hard mass. My heart sank, I almost already knew. I was diagnosed in 2006/2007 with breast cancer (I was diagnosed wrong the first time by a doctor at Sparrow Hospital and I moved my care to the University of Michigan where they saved my breasts and life.) However, it did not come without difficulties.

Many people I know have often said that I have a mind of an elephant because of my memory of past things. However, if you ask me about what happened between March 2007-January 2018 I couldn’t tell you because of the trauma radiation and chemotherapy had on my equilibrium, my thyroid, my mental state, my emotional state, my hormonal state, my teeth and more. Now that I am on the road back to recovering by exercising, eating right, taking care of myself with proper diet and supplements, everything seems to be clarifying itself to me again. I want to go back to work, I have another good 20-25+ years left in me. However, I need a smile makeover. I don’t need the best and the most expensive. But, the one I have is hampering my confidence. In fact, I never go anywhere and that is not like me because I am an extrovert. I know that there are plenty of people that are in need, but why do I feel I should get help? Because I have been through the hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and lightning storms of life. Not only did the thief come to steal, kill, and destroy me, he almost succeeded in doing so: My only son is in Federal Prison, Barrie Isham, the Fed Prison in NH; His ex-girlfriend refuses to let me see my granddaughter, when I used to care for her every day; my 18-year old nephew, Michael was killed in a car crash on Dec. 19, 2016, and no one in our family gets together for the holidays. However, I still stand therefore. JOHN 10:10 Promises me the Jesus has come that I would have life, and I would have it more abundantly. My abundant time has not yet come and I know he’s not done with me. The scripture reads: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. The only way I can ensure an abundant life for myself and to help others in need, is for me to sustain gainful employment again. I am not doing myself or anyone a service with my teeth the way they are and I plead that you please help me to contribute good back into this world that has gone so far over the line. Thank you.

To whom this may concern:

I am seeking help on fixing my teeth. My appearance put me in such a deep depression. I lost everything. My job. My apartment. I am no longer social or feel any type of   confidence. I hate how I look. I hate how I feel. My teeth are so bad I feel it’s beginning to interact with my body in negative ways. I have missing teeth. Cracked teeth. Cavities. Gum issues. Exposed roots. I do have a pair of front teeth denture type fixtures, but the teeth that hold them are bad and will no hold up. I was told at the time when I got the false teeth. Out of the dental plan all I could afford was extrations and the false teeth. I am honestly scared for myself and my future. Your smile or teeth is the 1st thing people notice. I do not feel the need to cause any type of bodily harm to myself but my depression is so bad from this. I lost my mom in 2013 and I been trying to hard to honor her but the darkest I was already feeling took over. I cannot find work and I do feel it’s due to my appearance. My career field is hospitality and with how I look I am unable to find work. I also know I have bad breath, which is due to all the issues. I know take care of what teeth I do have but it’s to late. I made peace with the fact that I’ll be single till death. Iv been called a catfish because I didn’t smile in my pics and when meeting up it was an embarrassment. I never used fake pictures. I just never smiled in my pictures. Never. I am being judge and bullied about the look of my teeth. People think I do drugs and I do not do drugs. Iv been called crack headed. I been called meth whore and never in life touched those drugs. I will take a drug test to prove that. But to be called those names and it not be true but hard to defend based off my teeth. It’s killing me inside. It’d be so life changing if I could fix some of my teeth. I’m not asking for more than what I need. I know people scam and lie and it takes away from those who cries are overlooked. I do not know how much it’ll cost. From research I see I’d need implants. Close to full mouth. And  preventative treatments. I was quoted when I got the two false teeth and I almost past out when told the total price to fix most. It was well over $20,000. Even if I couldn’t  get a full mouth but just the important front two and few others would be forever greatly appreciated. I appreciate you taking the time out to read my plea.

Thsnk you,

Courtney Tolbert

Hi. My name is Sabrina Overbay. I am 35 years old. I am a wife and a mom of two handsome teenage boys.

Fifteen years ago, my son and I were in a car wreck. While sitting at a stop sign with my 6 month old son in the backseat, a jacked up Dodge Dakota ran over the front of my Oldsmobile. My son was ok, but I had severe whiplash.

Naturally, the emergency room doctor prescribed pain pills for the whiplash. I was young and ignorant of the dangers of addiction. It wasn’t long before I was dependent on the medication. At the time, I did not realize the seriousness of my dependence on these pills. For the first few years, I was on and off of the pills.

I became pregnant with my second son, and did not want him to be born addicted to these drugs so I stayed sober. The OBGYN diagnosed me with preeclampsia in my third trimester. It was dangerous to both me and the baby. The doctor recommended that I have a cesarean section. At this point, I had been clean and sober for almost a year, but because of the surgery I was given pain pills again.

I was still in denial of my addiction. This eventually led to me buying opiates illegally on the streets. I tried many times over the years to break free from the addiction, but I was not successful for another 8 and 1/2 years. My addiction progressively got worse. I was on any kind of pill I could find. It was a very sad and desperate time in my life. Finally, on May 9, 2012, I got sober and I have stayed sober for 6 years and 6 months. It is a great accomplishment, but I can not truly enjoy it.

During those years of addiction, my teeth started deteriorating. I had a few extractions, but they just kept rotting. My teeth are so bad that I never smile anymore. Even when I am happy and laughing, I cover my mouth. I have noticed that sometimes when I am talking, people stare at my mouth with a disgusted look. I really want to go out and work with people who are addicted to drugs, but I am too embarrassed to try.

I have frequent tooth and gum infections. It’s so painful, but I will not take a prescription pain pill ever again. I mean, I recently had ligament reconstruction surgery on my ankle and I refused narcotics. It was excruciatingly painful, but completely worth it.

I have never been a wealthy person. My insurance is not very good so it won’t cover much. Aspen dental estimated the cost of my dental work to be over $5000. That’s just for full top dentures and a partial on the bottom. I can’t get credit. This is my last effort. Please help me get the dental care that I need. I know it’s not your responsibility, but I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you again,

Sabrina Overbay

I truly enjoy helping others every chance I get. Whether it be lending them some money (or just paying for things outright, no questions asked), or simply giving someone a ride to where they need to go. I always donate my used clothing to the local Goodwill. I do what I can when I can, and feel great about helping someone when they need it.

This time, I’m the one in need, and have little to no resources. My mother’s side of the family has weak tooth enamel. And smoking for 16-years (quit smoking 18-years ago) did not help. I’ve had a poor childhood. I remember being to the dentist maybe twice in my entire childhood. My parents never really nagged about brushing teeth either. So, I didn’t know much better until I was in my twenties, and then it was too late. Teeth were decaying and falling out. And being homeless on three separate occasions in my twenties with no money meant that my teeth would continue to decay.

After picking myself up when I was 30-years old, I have presently been on my current job for 15-years. It’s a dead-end factory job, so nothing to write home about. And while I do have health and dental insurance, the dental insurance (depending on the year) only has a $750-$1000 maximum payout per year. Nowhere near enough for what I’m needing done.

Several years ago, I went to a local community college part time so that I could get some college under my belt and get a better job. I took some courses for Information Systems. Now that I’ve done that, I’m not able to get a job, and I’m guessing that since I would have to deal with customers during the course of the day, they won’t hire someone who’s mouth looks like mine.

To add to not being able to get a better job at the moment, I haven’t dated in over 15-years (or had sex, for that matter). And while I’ve had my share of opportunities, as soon as they see my teeth, they run the other direction.

To not be able to get a better job, socialize and date, or even be able to do something as simple as smile for such a long time, is finally starting to take its toll on me. Loneliness is finally setting in. I’m 45 and already through half my life.

While my job pays the bills, I do have a car payment, school loan and credit cards to pay. There’s nowhere near enough left over after bills for another big loan to get my mouth fixed. It’s going to cost close to $20,000 to get all of my teeth pulled. Four permanents put in (two top, two bottom) for dentures to clasp to, and prevent bone decay.

I’m praying that a kind soul will read this, and grant me the privilege and opportunity to turn my life around.

I would also like to make a pledge that any proceeds left over will go directly to someone/others on this very site, or a charity of your choice.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If possible, I’d also like to keep you, the donor, updated on the progress of my mouth. Knowing that you helped someone be able to date and smile again, would be the most amazing feeling imaginable. And to be able to do those things again myself after so long, will be indescribable.

May you be blessed, and thank you.

-Matt

Hello everyone! So, my story is relatively simple. My entire life I have had problems with my teeth, in spite of doing nearly everything to take care of them. I don’t have dental insurance, but a few months ago I was having a lot of pain so I made an appointment with the dentist and he listed all of the things I needed to get done. I started saving up money with the intention of being able to afford the work in six or so months, but the nerve pain I’m experiencing at the moment is unreal. Eating is almost impossible and I honestly can’t wait that long. I need two root canals (with a cap and crown), an extraction, and one cavity filled. I also need a dental implant but it’s not nearly as urgent. If you’ve ever experienced severe dental pain, you know exactly how debilitating it is. I was up all last night with warm compresses on my face and was THIS CLOSE to grabbing a pair of pliars and ripping out the problem teeth. I’m not particularly proud of asking strangers for money, but I’m honestly in too much pain to care. I’ve been popping Advil like they’re candy and applying clove oil, but it just barely takes the edge off.

I would be beyond grateful to receive donations that would help me fix my teeth. I just finished school and am currently looking for full-time work. My number one priority is to find an employer that offers dental insurance, but everyone knows how few and far between those are. In any case, I can’t wait that long.

The costs associated with this procedure would be around $4000. The two root canals with a cap and crown alone are $1500 a piece. The cavity is $200 to fill and the extraction is $800. Extractions aren’t typically that expensive, but it’s impacted and I need general anesthesia to have it removed. Going to the dentist is a massive source of anxiety for me, but I’m going to have to suck it up and just do it. Honestly, at this point, I would RUN to the dentist and throw my money at them if it meant that these problem teeth would be dealt with.

I honestly can’t express my gratitude enough to those who choose to donate. It would mean the world to me. The relief that would come from having the nerve pain go away would be phenomenal.
