Every day, I wake up to the soft sounds of my son stirring in his room. He is autistic, nonverbal, and his world is one of patterns, routines, and deep emotions he struggles to express. My world, however, is one of sacrifices—ones I gladly make for him. But some sacrifices come at a painful cost, and one of those is my ability to smile.

I never imagined I would lose my teeth so young. I never imagined the simple act of eating a meal would become a challenge. I never thought I would feel ashamed to talk to people, afraid that my appearance would make them turn away. But here I am—struggling with the reality that my missing teeth don’t just rob me of my confidence, they rob me of opportunities to provide for my son.

Not long ago, my life looked very different. I was married, holding onto the dream of a stable family, believing that love could weather any storm. But life has a way of unraveling plans. The pressures of raising a special-needs child took a toll on my marriage, leading to a painful separation. Now, I am a single father, doing my best to navigate a world that often feels isolating and overwhelming.

I want to go back to work, but my son’s needs are demanding, and I am his primary caregiver. Therapy appointments, unpredictable meltdowns, sleepless nights—I pour every ounce of myself into making sure he is safe, comforted, and supported. But in the process, I have lost pieces of myself—my confidence, my ability to provide, my very smile.

Something as simple as eating dinner with my son has become a challenge. Soft foods, avoiding certain textures, and the constant pain of exposed gums—every bite is a reminder of what I’ve lost. More than that, social gatherings are unbearable. I can’t bring myself to talk to people, let alone smile. Job interviews feel impossible. First impressions matter, and when you don’t have a smile to offer, doors close before they even open.

Dental implants could change everything for me. They could give me back my ability to eat, to speak confidently, to smile at my son without hesitation. They could help me re-enter the workforce, giving me the chance to build a future where I am financially stable and able to provide for my son’s needs without fear.

I am not asking for luxury or vanity. I am asking for a chance—to reclaim my dignity, to secure a job, and to be the father my son needs without feeling broken every time I look in the mirror.

Philanthropy has the power to transform lives, and I hope my story touches your heart. A smile may seem like a small thing, but to me, it is the key to rebuilding my life. Your generosity could give me that second chance—to eat without pain, to face the world without shame, and most importantly, to smile at my son with the confidence and joy he deserves to see in his father.

The total cost of the dental implant procedure is $32,000—an amount far beyond what I can afford in my current situation.

If you find it in your heart to help, your support would mean everything. Not just to me, but to my son—the little boy whose world is already filled with so many challenges. Your kindness could change our lives forever.

Please consider making a donation to help me regain my smile and rebuild my future. I currently can accept donations with cash app. Thank you very much for your donations

I am reaching out because I am suffering. I need dental work. I have diabetes and my teeth issues have been my unique complication since I was 18 years old. I have periodontal disease. I have almost gone to the hospital for these issues as abscesses can be fatal to people who are not diabetic. I developed a goiter-like knot (infection) the size of an orange in my throat and experienced severe shortness of breath.

My insurance covers a fraction of the cost. Over the years I have had many teeth pulled since I could not afford the other options that would have saved them. At least ten of those extractions were due to abscesses. I lost one tooth due to grinding teeth at night from excessive anxiety. All of this has been excruciating and quite humiliating as well. People have judged me for my dental issues.

The left side of my mouth is filled with teeth roots from being broken by decay. The right side has a broken tooth that cuts my tongue up every day, I can hardly eat anymore. I used to stuff the holes with dental filling and even tissue due to a lack of funds for proper care, which proved to cause further pain and suffering.

I do not smoke. This is mostly a genetic outcome. I need $17,000.00 just to be able to chew food properly again. This is the cheapest option that I have. This isn’t a scam or a game. I ask for assistance because I have suffered greatly over the years, and I am ready for it to stop. I deserve a better quality of life. I work hard to take care of my family. I treat others with kindness and dignity. I am a law-abiding citizen that cares about my family and community. I saw a YouTube video that led me to this site.

Please assist if you can. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am a 67yr old woman. I have always worked since the age of 15. My significant other past in 2019, he was my backbone. Whatever I couldn’t do, he would find a way. I have always taking care of myself. I’ve had problems, but I took care of them. This last year, 2024 everything went to pot. First, my furnace $7000. Second, my air condition $8000. Third, my car $4000. I am not able to do what I once did, and that is starting to bother me.

Well, we had a big snow so I tried to shovel the snow and slipped and fail and hit my head broke my new prescription glasses and broke my teeth in the front of my mouth and now I look like a haggot witch. I can’t afford another loan, and my insurance only has a limit of $1000 for dental which does not cover implants. In the past I have tried to get more dental insurance but none of them were worth it.

I have always taken pride in the way I look. So now when I go out, I put a mask on, so no one will see how bad I look. I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I really hate asking for help, but I don’t know where else to turn. I don’t want to look like this for the next 3 years because that is when my loans will be paid. Please help me to get back to myself.  Please, please, please. Thank you for your help.

All my life I have had dental problems, I have spent thousands of dollars on my teeth and it seems every dentist has scammed me out of money but have not came through with quality dental work. This is devastating to me, I now only have two upper teeth and they are deteriorating quickly and soon will be falling out. It’s very difficult to eat especially around family and friends. Not only is it hard to eat the things you like but it affects your overall appearance and people tend to judge you on the reasons your teeth are in the condition they are in. I’m very depressed about the state of my teeth because I’ve always tried to take the very best care of them and nothing I’ve done has helped it seems. Im really wanting to get full upper implants but the cost is out of my reach which leaves me in despair, my teeth situation is all I can think about and I’m constantly trying to come up with how I could come up with the money. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to come up with a solution to my dilemma . The cost is all over the place, the least expensive Ive been able to find is in the ballpark of $20,000, I would be so grateful if I could get the money to fund this procedure. I could feel like myself again and not hide behind the scenes because of being embarrassed about my teeth.You don’t realize how something like this can make a person feel so low and like a complete failure. My mother has been hopeful that I could get this procedure done but does not realize the huge expense this is, my mother is now at the age of 85 years old with failing health. I would love to be able to surprise her one day before her passing with some new teeth and be able for her to see me smile again.Of course like all mothers she is very concerned about my overall health with the condition my teeth are in. As we all know there are many health problems that stem from having bad teeth. The number one condition is heart disease and many digestion problems from not properly being able to chew your food properly. Having bad teeth also limits the kinds of food a person can eat and enjoy. This makes it difficult when your working or in any social setting to be able to get a quick bite to eat, its time consuming and needs to be well planned out when you have a limited amount of time allocated for break or lunch with your employer. This is all so frustrating especially since dental insurance will not pay to get implants or any teeth replacement and dental costs are astonomicall and the cost only seems to be going up. I cry daily about my situation not that it helps but I’m just very saddened that its so difficult to get a medical procedure done like this when I work hard just to pay the basic bills I have to survive in the world today. The costs of everyday essentials just keep going through the roof and it makes it harder and harder for the average person to survive. I found this page on accident, I’m very hopeful this can help me. I’m going to pray this can happen for me really soon because from day to day I’m not knowing what will happen with my teeth.

Hi there Kind Generous people,

Hello,

My name is Toi Latta

I am a domestic abuse survivor and I’m autistic (Asperger’s).

I’ve lost a lot of my teeth to the abuse and I’ve been to ashamed to smile. I don’t talk much because of my teeth or lack of them. I don’t date…same reason.  I’ve raise three children (also Aspies) and I’m ready to live… I’d like to smile again.

I’ve looked into getting my teeth fixed and its expensive.  I barely make it from check to check and don’t have the fund for the procedure.  It costs 15k for half my mouth to be fixed and 20k for the entire thing to be repaired.

I can, upon request, take pictures so you can see the damage done.  It will be excruciatingly embarrassing but I’ll do it if needed.

Please help me smile again.

My name is Donald. I’m 55 yrs old with 3 kids and 3 gran children. My youngest son is special needs due to an experimental drug administered during pregnancy.I have now been without teeth for 10yrs, and without help I will probably die with no teeth.  

                   How I got here. when I was 8 yrs old I was in a horrible head on collision auto accident with my father. He lost control of steering and went into oncoming traffic. This is a time when seat belts were not mandatory, and I flew from the back seat into the floor gearshift with my mouth. The impact split my mouth open and shifted my teeth. Around 12 yrs old I went to get braces to correct the shift in my teeth. 6 yrs later they tried to take the braces off and ended up tearing the enamel  off all my teeth. The dentist said this was old technology they used to adhere the brace to my teeth.Well with no enamel protecting my teeth I started getting cavities, but not like everyone else. I got cavities along the gum lines on the side of the tooth were the ate through the tooth breaking the tooth off below the gum line.

Today I still have every single tooth (root) broken off so before I can get teeth the game plan was to put me to sleep and have a dental surgeon remove all the broken teeth before they can put post in. For more than  10 yrs I’ve been getting infections and treating it by myself with Amoxicillin which I obtain through friends going to other countries and bringing back to me after vacation. I have become very anti-social stopped going to church or even meeting new people because I am ashamed, I feel when I talk to someone especially professionals they are staring at my mouth trying to see I have no teeth. Now my kids are always trying to take pictures with me and my grandchildren and I cant smile. I often think when they get older and look at the pictures of me and think was he always mad because he never smiles.

Having three kids I have always put them before myself to the point where I was neglecting me. I don’t regret it, because that is what a father is suppose to do. when I went to go see about fixing my teeth I was told it is all cosmetic. After the consultation I was told it would cost over $48,000 they don’t know exact number because oral surgeon was another cost. I worry the longer I wait the more chance of stroke or even heart attack because of the poison from bacteria I swallowing all the time, not to mention the low self esteem or my mental health.

It took a lot for me to come on this site and beg complete strangers for money. I have never asked anything from anyone before I have always worked for it. I have been working since age 16. I have collected unemployment 1 time in my life and that was for a wrongful termination, my wife and son both had heart surgery’s the same week. After 10 yrs I have to face the facts that sometimes you have to swallow tour pride and ask for help, because I can’t do it alone. I sure miss the foods I cant eat anymore and I miss looking in the mirror at myself.

If you can find it in your heart to help me, you have no idea how grateful I would be. You would me giving me my life back. To be able to be social again to be able to make new friends, to be able to eat apples, nuts, steak and all the other foods I can no longer eat. But most of all I can smile again. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution to my situation.

Thank you for your time to read this

Dear Generous and Compassionate Donors,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Tim, and I am a 51 years old man reaching out to you with a humble heart and a pressing need for assistance. I am in dire need of dental implants, and I am seeking your support to raise $48,000. This amount will cover the cost of the All-On-4 dental implant procedure that I require to regain my health and self-confidence.

For many years, I have struggled with dental issues that have significantly impacted my quality of life. Due to shrunken gums and bone loss in my jaw, my current dentures do not align properly, causing me discomfort and making it nearly impossible to chew food effectively. This has not only led to physical pain but has also limited my dietary options, affecting my overall health and well-being. The inability to eat a balanced diet has taken a toll on my energy levels and has made it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Beyond the physical challenges, the emotional burden of my dental situation has been overwhelming. I often find myself feeling embarrassed when speaking to others or sharing a smile. The fear of judgment and the anxiety that accompanies social interactions have made me withdraw from situations where I would otherwise engage with friends and family. I long for the day when I can smile freely, without the worry of how I am perceived.

After numerous consultations, I have been informed that the All-On-4 dental implant procedure is my best option. This innovative solution would not only restore my ability to chew food properly but also provide me with a natural-looking smile that I can be proud of. The transformation this procedure offers is truly life-changing, and I am eager to embrace the new opportunities that it would bring.

However, the financial barrier remains a significant hurdle. Despite my best efforts to save and explore different financing options, the total cost of the procedure is still beyond my reach. I have exhausted all avenues and have come to the realization that I need help from compassionate individuals like you who understand the importance of health and well-being.

I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider contributing to my cause. Your generosity can make a profound difference in my life, enabling me to access the dental care I desperately need. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to my goal. If you are unable to contribute financially, I would appreciate your support in spreading the word about my situation to others who may be able to help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and compassion can help restore my smile and transform my life. I am deeply grateful for any assistance you can provide, and I look forward to the possibility of sharing my journey to recovery with you.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Tim

Hello,

My name is Angela, I am a young woman reaching out today with humility and hope, seeking assistance during a challenging time in my life. I am living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and rely on disability benefits as my primary source of income, which is just barely under $1,000 a month. While this alone makes ends meet difficult to already achieve, my health has recently taken another serious toll, leaving me in a dire financial situation.

For 2 and a half years prior I was already having problems with being able to eat any kind of meat or more solid foods that had to be chewed more to accomplish swallowing so I mostly did not eat meat unless it was soft chicken and sometimes ground beef but both still could be troublesome to eat, I could not afford to get a dental plan and Medicaid does not cover dental in the state of Alabama for adults and saving money was not really and option considering I barely got by with paying bills with what little I had which was an issue. Then recently 5 months ago, I was unable to eat due to a more severe medical issue. My throat became so swollen from a large mass and my tonsils that food couldn’t pass through. The situation was agonizing and very scary, it took doctors and specialists weeks on end with a series of test and scans, which felt like a lifetime to finally diagnose and began the treatment. However, this wasn’t the end of my struggles.

Compounding this, I developed a severe bacterial infection in my top and bottom back molars, which hence was partially the problem to why my tonsils were swollen besides the mass that was found. These teeth couldn’t be pulled because they were so bad off and were wrapped around the bone, requiring surgical removal instead. Unfortunately, I had to pay for these procedures out of pocket. Now, I am left without any lower molars and a few that were also taken out on top in order to clear the severe infection and I am struggling to eat properly.

My dentist has explained that I’ll require implants or partial bottom dentures and also implants on the top to regain the ability to eat and maintain my nutrition. However, the cost is beyond what I can afford, given my limited income and the recent medical expenses I’ve already had to cover.

This is why I am asking for help. Any assistance, no matter the amount, would make a profound difference in my life and help me take a critical step toward recovery and stability. Being able to eat again would not only improve my health but also my quality of life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I truly appreciate your kindness, compassion, and support during this very difficult time for me.

Dear community, I desperately need my teeth complete makeover. The last estimated budget is 16200 dollars and it’s great, because all necessary root channels are already fixed. I am still beautiful woman in my 48, but I cannot open my mouth even. My social life goes by, I can’t date  and simply be around people, because I can’t smile, I think I already forgot how to… My self-esteem dropped significantly and I feel like I’ll forever be like that . Every time I thought I was ready to start my dental, prices raised and raised… I need bridges and crowns, not implants. I can’t afford this makeover and my income and fico don’t let me to take any additional loans.  I wish I would find kind supporters, who could help me with that amount.

Dear valued and generous humans, thank you for taking the time and reading my letter it is very much appreciated.

It is with outmost humility that I am on here asking for a little help. Just to give you a little insight ,I am a proud man that has worked all my life as a professional commercial driver, I started in 1991 until 2015.In 2015 I was involved in a traffic collision that was not my fault. After that I was unable to work any longer ,I have been on disability since 2018.

I have been married for 35 years and I’m a father of six, grandfather to five.

A couple of years ago I got sick and lost all my teeth. I have lost over 50 lb because I cannot eat anything solid. I suffer from low self-esteem I no longer smile and do not talk without my hand being in front of my face. I’m basically becoming a hermit.

I would not be asking if My quality of life wasn’t affected.

I know my request is probably trivial compared to other people’s situations. So I am hoping to find someone with a kind heart to take pity on me.

• Thank you again and much regards ,Edgar.

Hello,

I am in need of some financial help to fix my teeth. :-(

I have never asked anyone for money before, not even my parents, ever since I turned 14 years old I have been on my own financially. Everything I have, I paid for (unless it was gifted to me).

Here is why I need help now though. I am an alcoholic in recovery and have been sober now for almost 6 years. When I was drinking heavily, I stopped going to the Dr and the Dentist for fear that they would know that I had been drinking. This led to a lot of cavities forming in my mouth and needing some root canals. A few years after having the root canals done, they failed and broke off causing more food to get down into the socket becoming infected. I went to the dentist the other day and they told me it would cost me almost $20,000 to have some teeth pulled and to have new teeth put in. I don’t have that kind of money considering I live in the most expensive state in the country (California) and I currently make $21/ hour. I have no extra spending money to put towards it, and nothing that I can sell that would be of enough value to pay for my teeth. I don’t know what else to do short of driving down to TJ Mexico and having it done slightly cheaper.

You would be making a girls year/lifetime if you’re able to help me out! I REALLY do not want to lose my smile!

Also, I do apologize for not having a PayPal account. my Venmo though is @Crystal-Brown-50

Please Help me fix my smile!  and THANK YOU to those of you who donate!

Sincerely,

CB

I usually don’t do anything like this but here goes… When I was in my 20’s I had longed to get my teeth straightened. So one day I finally had found the means and got braces. They were absolutely life savers. They soon served their purpose and I no longer needed them. I developed a smoking habit and I was smoking two packs a day. After 17 years of cigarettes and daily Cokes my teeth began to rot down to the gums. Some got abcess after abcess and never came out. Others crowded others. All in all my mouth is very uncomfortable and I’ve never been able to remedy it.  I have an HMO but they only cover extraction of 9 teeth.  I’m asking for donations of up to $8,000 in order to get the teeth and roots extracted so that my insurance can pay for the dentures. This would be the best gift anyone could ever give me! And by the way I have kicked the smoking habit years ago and am ready for a new start!!!!! If you can,please help!
