Hello everyone,
My name is Eric, and I’m reaching out for your support to help me finally get the dental work I desperately need. After years of hardship, including three years of homelessness starting in 2018, I’m on the cusp of turning my life around—but my dental health is holding me back.
In 2018, my life took a devastating turn when I became homeless. For three long years, I struggled . During that time, I experienced severe dental issues, including multiple root canals that were never properly completed. A kind donor stepped forward and offered to cover the costs to get my teeth fixed, giving me a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, they had to withdraw their support unexpectedly, leaving me with uncrowned root canals that have caused ongoing pain, infection risks, and a smile I’m ashamed to show.
I’m proud to say I have a steady job and health insurance. However, life threw another curveball when my roommate suffered a major stroke. I’ve been supporting them through recovery, which has drained any extra income I might have had. My insurance covers some basics, but the out-of-pocket costs for crowning those root canals, along with other necessary repairs, are simply beyond my reach right now—estimated at upwards of $40000 which I will never be able to afford.
With damaged teeth and an incomplete smile, I’ve been limited to behind-the-scenes roles that don’t allow me to interact directly with clients or colleagues. Restoring my smile would boost my confidence, improve my speech and appearance, and open doors to better opportunities that pay more and offer stability for both me and my roommate.
This isn’t just about teeth; it’s about reclaiming my dignity and stepping into the life I’ve fought so hard to achieve. With your help, I can finally close this chapter of unfinished business from my homeless days and focus on building a sustainable future.
What Your Support Will Achieve
- Immediate Dental Work: Funds will go directly toward crowning the root canals, preventing further complications, and any additional treatments recommended by my dentist.
- Career Advancement: A confident smile will help me pursue front-facing jobs, leading to higher earnings and long-term financial independence.
- Transparency: I’ll provide updates on my progress, including dental appointments milestones. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to this goal.
My fundraising target is $40000, which covers the procedures, any follow-up care, and a small buffer for unexpected costs. If we exceed the goal, extra funds will support my roommate’s ongoing recovery needs.
If my story resonates with you, please consider donating today. Sharing this campaign with your network could make a huge impact too—every share brings more eyes and potential support. Together, we can turn years of struggle into a story of triumph.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and belief in second chances. Let’s restore my smile and unlock the next chapter!
With gratitude, Eric
