Hello, Everyone.

This is a really tough post. I have had a tough go of it, as most of us have throughout our lives. I grew up without much and in chain with that we couldn’t afford much healthcare wise. My dental condition has declined fairly significantly and it’s starting to affect my health. I have worked hard to get to a place where I could at least live paycheck to paycheck, and through working hard hoped that I could find a place that I could just be financially stable enough to afford it. I haven’t been able to smile in 15 years, and now I am afraid of the damage it has done. After seeing my doctor I was warned about heart disease that comes with bad dental conditions. I just want to be able to be healthy again, smile again, and live a life as long as I can. I worked for a company for four years that got me really close to being out of a hole, and to a place where I could finally take care of my health. That company went bankrupt in October of 2022 that put my family behind on everything we have to pay. Our rent, our bills, and COVID only added to that. I finally found a job, paying a lot less, in January but we just can’t catch up. I am hoping that this is something worthy of asking for help. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t see any other options. I am eternally grateful for any and all help, and I am praying for the opportunity that I can give back in the future. Even for just reading this, if you do, thank you for all of those out there helping those in need.

Dear Angels,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today with a humble heart and a genuine plea for your assistance. My name is Linda, and I am an English teacher who has had the privilege of teaching children from all around the world through online platforms like Zoom.

As an educator, my greatest joy comes from connecting with these bright, curious, and eager young minds, instilling in them a love for language, and empowering them with the ability to communicate effectively in English. However, recently I have encountered an unforeseen obstacle that has left me feeling helpless and deeply embarrassed.

My front teeth, which serve as a gateway to communication and expression, have been damaged and are now in dire need of restoration. The incident has not only caused me immense physical discomfort but has also taken a heavy toll on my self-confidence, making it increasingly difficult for me to interact with my students and carry out my duties as an effective teacher.  My students tell me how beautiful I am all the time, but I know it is difficult for them to look at me every day.

Sadly, I find myself in a financial predicament where I am unable to afford the necessary dental work to repair my teeth. As an English teacher, my income is modest, and I do not have any savings or access to resources that would enable me to cover the exorbitant cost of the dental procedures required. With each passing day, the burden of embarrassment grows, and the fear of losing the ability to inspire and connect with my students becomes more overwhelming.

It is with the utmost sincerity and vulnerability that I reach out to you. I pray you will consider supporting me in my quest to restore my smile and regain the confidence necessary to continue teaching. Your contribution, no matter the size, would not only alleviate the financial strain but also provide a lifeline for me to continue impacting the lives of these incredible young learners who are like my very own children.

By supporting my dental treatment, you would not only be investing in my personal well-being but also in the future of countless children  from all over the world, who benefit from the knowledge and skills they gain through our lessons. Your generosity would enable me to face each day with renewed confidence, inspiring young minds and ensuring that their dreams are not hindered by language barriers.

If you find it in your heart to help, you can contribute directly to my Paypal at paypal.me/Lindasuerinaldi. Every donation, no matter how small, will be a ray of hope for me, bringing me one step closer to restoring my smile and teaching with the passion and conviction I have always possessed.

Alternatively, if you know of any dental professionals or organizations that may offer their services pro bono or at a reduced cost, I would be immensely grateful if you could connect me with them. Your guidance and support would mean the world to me.

I would like to sincerely apologize for the appearance of my picture accompanying this campaign letter, where, as you can see, I am captured without my front teeth. This situation brings me to tears all the time, and I understand that it may be unsettling. However, I wanted to provide a transparent representation of the profound impact this dental issue has had on my life and my ability to teach effectively. Teaching has been the sincerest blessing of my life!! Please accept my heartfelt apologies for any discomfort caused.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my heartfelt appeal. I am eternally grateful for your consideration and compassion. Together, we can overcome this obstacle, and I can continue to empower young minds and nurture their potential.

So, my “roundhouse” bridge fell off as ALL of the teeth anchoring it as crumbled. Over the years  I have had it sectioned due to broken painful teeth under it. I have ground the porcelain to the metal. It is being held in by Fixodent for many months now. I am a 26-year chair-side dental assistant. The dental industry only offers us a 15 to 30% discount on dental work given to employees.  [FYI: 26 years ago we dental employers only had to pay lab fees]. Hence how I got it in the first place. For the past 10 years, I have been bumped off the cleaning schedule to make room for their pts.  I lost my job in February 2023 and attempted to collect unemployment. Upon doing so, I was blocked from even applying for unemployment because of a fraudulent claim. I have proven my identity and case yet as of today, 07/07/2023,  I am still UNABLE to even APPLY. My mortgage is behind, and all bills & credit cards. My credit score dropped to the low 400s. Totally embarrassing, but I really need help.

 

     I had an unfortunate situation occur recently. I had my top front tooth break off after biting into an apple. I have had issues with my top upper teeth since early childhood. My mom says since I was very active as a young child, I used to like running and jumping from the couch to the floor and one day my face hit the hard floor surface causing dental damage on my upper teeth. Ever since that unfortunate situation it’s been challenging to maintain good healthy upper teeth.

      The dentist said that the remaining piece of tooth is severely damaged and would need to have it extracted and put in a dental implant that cost $5,000. I am the only one working to help support my family. My wife stays home with our little toddler. I am a social worker and it’s a rewarding job, but I barely make enough to cover our current bills. I am the one typically helping others in need, but now I am in a desperate situation needing assistance. There are other dental issues going on with me such as a wisdom tooth needs to be pulled out, another tooth is a bit chipped that needs to be replaced, but the biggest most visible concern is to put a dental implant to prevent future embarrassment and help boost my confidence at work and with family.

    I would greatly appreciate any help I can get from you. If I get this dental implant done it would help my work and family life. Having the dental implant will allow my little daughter, wife, and family to see me with a nice smile and can take pictures that can create lasting memories. Instead of hiding my smile, I am embarrassed to show my missing tooth or wear a face mask. I will also be able to work more effectively at work knowing I will have a secure dental implant and have a normal smile. I am a social worker who has over 60 clients and I help kids get therapies to assist them with their development, since they have some form of delay. Please help me regain my smile, confidence, and happiness.

Any form of contribution will be greatly appreciated and will make a positive impact in my life along with those around me. I wish you many blessings and for your contribution to multiple 10 fold.

Hello,

“Never judge a book by its cover”is how my parents raised me to be when meeting new people. For the most part, I’ve lived up to that. I determine if I am going to start a friendship with someone based on our 1 on 1 interaction with each other. Starting a relationship with someone is a different story. There is an element of being physically attracted to someone that comes into play.
I, personally, am attracted to a great smile. A smile says a lot about someone. It shows how they take care of themselves and can even show the type of family they grew up with. My parents made sure my sister and I went to every needed dentist appointment and even paid a lot of money to make sure we had the perfect smile.

As an adult, I took all of that dental care for granted. I smoked cigarettes, drank, did drugs and pierced my tongue. All of which has led to the demise of my teeth. I never thought I would have to choose to pay for the dental work I need or pay rent.
I have since quit smoking, drinking, drugs and have taken the tongue ring out, but the aftermath of it all remains. Because of the smoking, my front teeth are barely hanging in my mouth. I have had to alter the way I eat food for fear my teeth will fall out. During my latest dentist appointment, I learned that my dental insurance will only pay for some of the work that I need done. Besides the deep cleaning and medication involved with that, I will need to get teeth pulled out and then partial dentures will be needed. I also need to get caps of some of my other teeth. Dentures and caps are needed and I find out that my insurance won’t cover all of it. What is the point of insurance if you can’t use it for major situations? I don’t have money in a savings account to help me during emergencies like this. I live paycheck to paycheck and even that’s not enough to live off of now a days.

So I am here, asking for help. I have 10 more visits to the dentist to help me restore my teeth. My out of pocket expenses are too much for me to be able to afford.

The amounts are:

• $801
• $433.60
• $1385
• $170
• $170
• $1385
• $1385
• $1385

I had to pay $277 out of pocket at my last visit and that is going to make me short on my rent. It’s just a never ending spiral into debt that will be difficult to climb out of.
If you can help, I will truly appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I am in desperate need for dental implants. I have been dealing with infections that have eaten holes in my jaw bone. I would be forever grateful for help. My husband committed suicide in nov 2022 it has been extremely difficult for me since suicide is excluded from all life insurance etc. My dentist dr gasser in Arizona said i need $69,000 for my dental implants and for me to lead a healthy life. You get what you give in life I understand this. I know if you help you will be blessed with much much more than what you gave me and my small life. Please help me get rid of this pain and be able to eat again. Please please please

Hello All,

I never thought I would be in a position to ask strangers on the internet for help, but I am. We all need a little help now and again. I am requesting some help with a large dental procedure and bill coming up that I have already rescheduled 2 times and now need to reschedule a 3^rd time. It’s close to 4k dollars and I really want to get it done for many reasons. I was quoted back in October of 2022 after my initial visit. After the first of the year, they informed me that there were changes to what the insurance will cost and now even more will come out of my pocket. Insurance only covers 1500 and the complete total is over 5k.

One I want my smile back, two I want to eat and not have pain, or be selective on what to eat due to pain/discomfort. Three, I want to feel more confident about myself, especially when working in an industry where I have to meet and speak with people face to face. My company is doing online video interviews with everyone to post on our website, I have refused even though I want to do it because of my teeth and smile.

I have taken care of my teeth my whole life, they started to have problems after being prescribed certain medication that deteriorated not just the teeth but other bones in the body. At 43 years old I still have a lot of life left in me and would love to feel better all around with a smile that isn’t so ugly and disturbing and to be able to eat without fear.

I have many missing/broken teeth and a few right in front. I do have dental insurance, but it barely covers any of the costs. To get the upper plate, removal of all teeth and a full cleaning of all bottom teeth (Top are the issue, bottoms are great thankfully) would be close to 3k dollars. I have been trying to save up, but things keep coming up and I have to start back over. I have already paid for and completed the Bite, and the teeth are made, its just getting the procedure done, the removal of all upper teeth, all 4 wisdom teeth, putting in the new upper teeth in and full cleaning of all bottom teeth.

Let me give you a little background of myself. I am a 43-year-old female. I spent my entire life working sometimes more than one job, doing what needed to be done to pay the bills but yet having the bad luck of still struggling. I am a Widow, my late husband passed away in Aug of 2020 to Esophageal cancer. It was not expected, he suddenly got sick, then his mind went. I finally had to call 911 to come get him, found out he was terminal. It hadn’t officially gone to his brain, but it was in fact what was causing his mental confusion. In his head it was like things were 10 years prior rather than current day. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks, peak covid time, then went to hospice for a week before passing away at 44-years-old. We had been together for over 20 years. We started dating in 1999, married in 2006 and he passed in 2020. It wasn’t the perfect marriage, actually things had changed over the years.. The sad part is he refused to work, leaving me to take care of everything financially. Because of his refusal to work a regular job I did not get any benefits from Social Security or Disability when he did pass away. I was just left with even more debt… There is a lot more that I realized that I missed out on because of things he refused to do, or would threaten if I didn’t give him money for his “needs”. I spent close to 9 months cleaning the house, getting rid of things and turning it back into a home, rather than a storage shed which is what it felt like with things everywhere.. He was a bit of a horder..

Being on my own for the first time every in my life was both challenging and also depressing. I adopted a dog (Our dog passed in May of 2020 of 14 years just before he passed in Aug of 2020). He is the best ever and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I had purpose again because he counted on me to take care of him, play with him and then some. But he was alone all day at home while I was at work. He needed more, he needed someone to play with and someone to be around him. He is way to social to be home alone all day.

I finally decided to move out and moved back in with my mom. She had 2 dogs and all of them got along, plus being retired she was home during the day so that helped a lot as well. Plus, it helped both of us with loneliness (My dad passed 10 years ago and she is by herself).

It started off good until she had an issue with my dog. I was told to get rid of him, he was not the problem, and I couldn’t just give him up after rescuing him myself. I already had too much loss in my life, so I had to find another place to live. Now things are much higher and the cost to rent was out of my budget, I found a place and my boss helped me out to get in with first, last and deposit. Another debt I am still paying on. 3500 for that help.

I got 2 roommates to help with the cost and be able to afford. Still making payments on everything else plus trying to live in today’s current economy has proven to be difficult. On top of that one of my roommates developed brain cancer. After his surgery he changed, He would be up all night keeping everyone up. Both roommates were prior drug/alcohol addicts that went through rehab to better themselves. They were normal when they moved in.

The one with the brain cancer, of course after surgery the hospital gave him pain medication, he abused it, went through them in a few days and then went to the streets to find something to help. That is when he would be up all night keeping the house up, taking shower after shower, banging things, stomping around the house, in his room screaming… It was not a fun time, all during the holidays and all during the time I decided to finally start dating again and had met someone.

After the first of the year, he went back to the hospital to stay and start his treatment, with his issues the other roommate started drinking again. He just lost his job and spends the day around the house drunk… I do not want to live like this, and I shouldn’t have to in my own house. I informed them both I would not be renewing the lease in July and would look for another place, giving them 5 months’ notice. 3 days March 1st the one with brain cancer tells me he is moving, after I had inquired about his rent and utility payments for a week with no response. He never did pay the rent for that month, didn’t come get his things until the end of the month. Still refusing to pay me for his share of anything when he was last there stating he has no money cause he is not working… Of course, he has money for drugs and alcohol…

He broke many things in the house during his drug induced escapades and refusing to pay for any of them, again more out of my pocket. I did not require first, last and deposit because I was just trying to pay it forward to others after some helped me.. Instead, now I am even further behind and in debt due to others. So again, I have to reschedule this dental procedure that I really need to get done. One more infection and it could kill me.

I work a great job and have worked hard my whole life. I feel like at times no matter how far I think I have gone, something or someone kicks me way back.. I feel like I have no control over anything. I just want to live a normal happy life. I did meet someone and let me tell you he is the one.. He is my best friend and soul mate; I could not have gotten through the past 4 months with out him. He is battling Child Support from one of his prior marriages that has halted up some of his finances and part of his pay checks, he gives me whatever he gets paid to help with all the expenses of the home and food. He has fixed many things in the house for me and the landlord. He has been a blessing..

And he is not happy that I have had to rescheduled this again.. he is trying to do what he can to help. 3 prior ex-wife’s that have destroyed his credit and taken everything from him has not helped. We both work full time, we rescued a second dog, we take care of the house and everything but no matter how much we work something keeps coming up that kicks us back financially.

My credit is way low due to my late husband, and I have been trying to repair but it takes time and a lot of small payments. It hasn’t been fixed enough to get care credit or a credit card to help pay for this procedure and other expenses, like my dog hurting his leg and needing to go to vet and get surgery done as well. Thankfully he has gotten much better but if he over does it that leg will keep him down for a few days and I can see it is bothering him.

I think I have rambled on enough. I tried to make a long story somewhat short and just give you some details of what has gone on and why I am asking for some help. We are wanting to get married, no big wedding… Just him and I at the courthouse, but I want to have my smile fixed before we do that. We are ready to make it official, I just want to have a big happy smile and keep pushing forward towards our future.

We are wanting to buy some land and build our own home from the ground up ourselves. We both have working in the construction industry our whole lives, I in the office doing the books, HR and he in the field doing the work and running crews. We just want to live out the rest of our lives together, we have already missed many years together and just want to spend what time we have left in this world with each other.

Thank you again for reading and any help is beyond gratefully appreciated. I am the type of person to help others and pass on any kindness myself. As stated above by not making my roommates pay first, last and deposits, which ultimately screwed me, but it would not stop me from helping someone again. You can’t let one person who did wrong affect others that would do right and pass on that helping hand. That’s how it should be the world needs to do more helping each other and less putting each other down and sharing it all on social media.

A little bit of help with this item will definitely help in the other areas I am trying to pay off at the same time as regular bills, expenses and food that is rising on a daily basis but yet our pay does not. At the same time, I have been trying to do my own crafts from home. I have a few unique things I do and have tried to grow this little, small home business into something. I enjoy doing the crafts, it relaxes me, and others enjoy them and want to purchase.

My goal is for it to pay for itself, selling the finished ones to purchase more supplies and to promote more online for sales as well as local craft shows. That though has fallen down the priority list.. Maybe I can get that back going again soon as well.

Thank you again.. If you wish to help my PayPal info is below and I am very grateful for any assistance from anyone. And I promise to pay it forward one day to someone else that is struggling in this world. I always do a lot of donating to the local animal shelters as I have a huge heart for dogs, especially the ones looking for a loving home.

So let me just start with saying, most of my life I have been the miracle worker in people’s lives. I don’t know why I am so driven towards being kind and helping people. Having blind trust and faith to a fault. Going off a whim to help someone and just risk my own everything so I can attempt to see them become happier, and more content than they were.

I have always deeply desired to help change the world, in a peaceful, and calm way.

I don’t want to control the world. I want to bring peace to every person. I want us to be working on evolutionary change, revolutionary creations!

Most of my life, while being extremely giving when I have mere nothing already for myself.

I also have been dealt some really horrible cards too.

When I turned 5, my parents forced a pill down my throat. Thus I took medication starting then until I was 18. Looking back at it, I was a high as a kite and I didn’t even need the medication.

When I was 9, my adoptive parents divorced and I was involved in everything entirely. I found out I was adopted at 15.

At 17  I went to pick up my friend from his girlfriend’s house while we were in high school. After I picked him up we went to a car wash and before I could get out, I was swamped with cop cars and being pulled out of my vehicle. I didn’t know what to do. I thought I’d be fine because my grandfather was a cop  and I didn’t do anything wrong to begin with so I should be fine!. yeah right… I went to jail for a crime I didn’t even commit (burg of habitat). And later on served prison time for something I’m innocent of… Thanks grandpa! 😒

I’ve been pushed and shoved down left and right (not physically).

So much has happened to me that I feel and know I didn’t deserve. Yet I still keep going.

I still keep pushing through. Because the hard times have made me stronger. And brought me to the person I am today.

 

As much as I dislike begging, and I don’t like to ask for money more than anything. .

I have done my Google search and this website was a result.

I have been struggling lately the past year, and haven’t even paid my rent to my mother, barely eating anything, and having to deal with my vehicles being stolen and damaged.

I have lost 35 lbs in the last year. Going from 195lbs to 150lbs.

I have teeth that need to be pulled at a dentist very soon. My mouth hurts so much some days. Nothing else matters except that pain.

 

I’m not on my medication anymore. And it’s been hard adjusting without.

Anyways back to this.

I am here to ask anyone if they can help me out. I am really bad at asking for something like this. Tired of being hungry and stressed about paying my attorney and paying for dental work.

My dental work would cost me a couple thousand for removal and implants.

My attorney has asked me to finish paying him $4,000. To get my case dismissed. I’ve already paid him $21,000.  In the last 2 years.

So basically

If someone wanted to read this and have the ability to help me.

I want to ask you for $8,000. So I can pay for dental work, attorney fees, and a grocery store visit for the month so I can have the energy to get my mind back in a healthy standing to get things taken care of again. I’ve had a set back, but that’s just showing me how strong I really am and how much I have to offer this world.
