Dear friends, acquaintances, and kind-hearted individuals who come across my story,

My name is Hiury, and today I approach you with great humility and vulnerability to share one of the most significant challenges I am currently facing in my life.

At 32, I should be experiencing the prime years of my life, yet instead, I find myself at a crossroads, battling a severe dental condition that not only affects my health and well-being but also my self-esteem and the ability to smile without inhibition.

For years, I deferred necessary dental care due to financial reasons. Like many, I was caught in a web of debts that accumulated over time, whether they be educational, housing, or emergency expenses (more than 70k). The cost of living continues to rise, and prioritizing expenses has always led me to put my health on the back burner.

However, postponement is no longer an option. Dentists have warned that without extensive treatment – which includes multiple crowns, extractions, restorations, implants, and an alignment device – I could face consequences that go far beyond discomfort or aesthetics. These are risks that can affect my overall health, potentially leading to infections that impact the entire body.

The total cost of the treatment is frankly beyond my reach. $20,000 – a sum that, with the burden of the debts I already carry, is simply unattainable without help.

This is why I’m here, asking for your assistance. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help me take a step towards a healthier and happier life. Your support will mean more than just improving my dental health; it will be an investment in my ability to smile without pain, to speak without embarrassment, and to live without the constant weight of worry and discomfort.

I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide, and even for the simple action of sharing my story. Together, I hope we can turn this hope into reality and bring back the glow of a smile that has been dormant for far too long.

Hi, my name is Savanna. I’m 29 years old, going through a situation I never thought I’d have at such a young age yet here I am currently at my last limb of hope. Since I was about 20 years old, I’ve been having dental issues nonstop.  I always did well to brush them growing up however I was unaware of how detrimental it was drinking soda and eating candy was when it comes to keeping up with your oral health. I never thought to have my teeth checked when i was younger because i never really was in any pain to begin with and I thought suffering a crack or two wasn’t going to hurt me in the long run. My teeth were white and my family never really took me to the dentist growing up, so it wasn’t something that I had in mind at that age either.

Well, one day I woke up in severe pain and ended up finding out that i had to have not one, not two but four of my back molars removed. Now, I thought my troubles ended there back in 2013, at the time I was just getting fresh out of high school. Over the years, I’ve managed to use some of my student loan money trying to fix the issues with my missing teeth. I managed to get three implants put in at the time however, two of them fell out immediately a week after surgery, one was left unfinished, and I was forced to find another dentist because the one I had previously went to had been shut down for performing operations without a license. Needless to say, I’ve had problems with my dental situation ever since and I was never able to get them put back in because the other dentists were just too expensive for me. Up until 2017, I’ve kept up with my teeth pretty well but stopped going in because I was told that the remainder of the ones I had been in pretty good shape despite me feeling otherwise. I went from going to the dentist obsessively to not going in at all due to me admittedly just giving up at the time. I thought maybe i was doing too much and that I was going to be okay. So long as i kept my brushing habits up, everything was going to be fine and i would just take care of the rest of my teeth once i got the money for it. Fast forward to today, and I’m now facing the reality that I have to get four more taken out and I’m just a couple of teeth away from not being able to chew on my right side. I’m fearful that the same thing will occur for my left if I don’t do anything soon. I’m at my wits end and I’m desperately trying to find a solution. I’ve been trying to raise the money on my own but between having to pay for rent and a car that keeps breaking down, i have been struggling to do so. This is my first attempt at doing one of these crowdfunding stories, so I don’t really know what to expect however the way I see it I really don’t have a choice in the matter. I’m willing to do whatever i can at this point to get whatever help that’s available. Any little bit helps and of course i am extremely grateful towards anybody that’ll lend a helping hand.

My goal is to raise enough money to get at least one implant put in so I’m able to confidently eat on both sides again.  I’m told that a single implant is worth somewhere from $1,000 to $3,500 dollars so any help is much appreciated. I also have to fix the remainder of the ones i have left. You’d be giving me the ability to chew again and honestly, I don’t even know how I’d react to having that as a privilege again.  It feels weird to be saying that at only 29 but I guess we all have a story we have to grow stronger from. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi, I am a 62 year old mom and grandmother.  I raised my 2 sons by myself. I didn’t receive and child support. I went without many thing such as dental care for myself. Most of the time I worked 2 jobs, just to try and keep up with my boys friends’ 2 income families. My boys are now in early 30’s & late 20’s. My oldest got married/ divorced and fought for full custody  & got it. He then said mom I need your help. My grandson has Autism. I had finally built my business up to about 5-7k a month. I gave my business to a friend and moved 4 states away to where my son and grandson lived. I did home therapy with grandson and a therapist for 18 months, then we got him into a private school. I was finally doing financially well then moved and could barely pay my rent in the new state. I started out spending 60 hours a week with him. It then dropped tp 25 hours a week. This broke up my day, so work was hard to find considering, my main obligation was my grandson. I spent 5 years in this other state. I just moved back to the state I raised my boys in. Now at 62, I have to start over and reinvent myself at 62 for work. I spent the first 3.5 weeks in my card after I was robbed of my only money I had which was only 1k. I worked hard and got assertive. I do have a place to live now and have 6 new clients. I clean vacation rentals. I do have osteoporosis  and my teeth have very quickly started to rot and fall out. I am down to 6 teeth! This has really effected my self esteem. I only work and go home. I don’t like to speak with anyone anymore as it is embarrassing. I want to get dentures for the top and either snap on dentures or 4 on 1 plate for bottom. That is cheapest option. I don’t have any credit as I always paided cash for everything. I pay $1200 for my rent and my 2012 car is falling about. I can make payments for teeth but a good amount for a down payment would allow me to take action now instead of waiting another year!

You’re reading the struggle of a 20 y.o to pay dental costs .

First of all hi, who ever is reading this I hope you’re doing better than me, and let’s begin.

I’m here today because I’m a 20 years old guy who entered the college 2 years late because of financial difficulties, I work a full time job while trying and focus on my studies but I’m not here today to ask for my college fees or money for rent I’m here because since I was 16 y.o my teeth started going bad and I have visited a dental a couple times and treated them temporarily but after a year or so I was 17 my front teeth begin to look bad with a little gaps then those little gaps started expanding on the whole row so it was really expensive to fix them so I waited on them hopefully to save some money to get them fixed but that didn’t turn out on my favor because they only kept going bad and because of the college fees,transportation,and dorm rent, i didn’t get to save that much .

I know that there is people who are getting harder times and honestly I don’t wish to take money from other people who really need it more than I do so if you got the choice between me and someone else who is getting harder times don’t hesitate to make me the 2nd on your list after I’m not really smiling that much.

Finally I hope my speech wasn’t that long so I don’t bore you .

If you find my cause worthy u can donate me on PayPal:

Thank you for sticking with the speech to the end, and if you’re someone who is in need I hope all of your dreams become true don’t you ever lose faith, wish you all the best .

Note : my teeth would cost me approximately 10,000$ I’m not expecting you to cover the whole amount anything from your heart would be appreciated.

Hello,

My name is Angela Whitfield and I am 49 years old. I was a single mother, who raised three children. And now I have two grandchildren. Born and raised in the poverty-stricken areas of Chicago, it was always a struggle for us. As a child, I was not cared for properly. We hardly ever went to school and never went to the dentist. Honestly, we were all abused and neglected and I had many cavities.  I suffered in silence from the pain of the cavities, without meds because I couldn’t swallow the pills. Eventually, the rotten teeth would break apart and I’d be left with only the pieces still attached to the gum.

At age 19, I started to get dental work done. First, I had the rotten pieces pulled, then I got the remaining cavities filled. I even had to get a root canal on one, as the tooth was already dead. Never having enough money to get implants, I have lived with only being able to chew on one side. I thought I would just continue this way as I kind of got used to it. However, over the years, the missing teeth have caused problems. I have bone loss now. And in addition to not being able to have full use of my mouth, my face is deformed. I went for an implants consultation and the dentist advised that I would have to get braces first! I have had the braces on for over two years and soon they will be coming off.

The estimates I received for four implants were $17,000 and $12,000 and I have no idea how I am going to pay. Because I will need bone grafts the cost is much higher. I  can only dream that I will be able to finish the much-needed dental work, as my finances have been stretched beyond belief. I imagine things will only get worse as I age. Which is why I am writing here. One could say that I am desperate but I would appreciate any help in financing this cause. Any amount will do as it all adds up. Nevertheless, I will keep on persevering as I have with everything. I thank you so much for your time.

I just want to say this is not a normal thing for me to do, because usually I am the one giving, so its a bit awkward, but life is sometimes (not so) funny and not haha either. I am a worker for the government that was supposed to be assigned overseas though at the last minute I was posted to DC. That is now two households to maintain for the next two years (and without a vehicle though I can manage) On top of that my coverage does not cover anything beyond cleaning and regular checks. I have come out of pocket already 6k, the residual is about 16k and that is only for top portion. The bottom is the next stage, which I do not know what that will entail as of yet. I have some skin and/or blood anomaly , could have been from a variety of exposures overseas,  or the .axx, just finished an NIH study, found some white matter, the Affairs is involved with their tests that will be finalized by the end of January. Preliminaries, not confirmed possible rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis or skin cancer, which one Doctor hinted at, or some complication that is attacking my jawline and teeth. Someone told me, it sucks getting old, they were not kidding. But my only enjoyment is eating without pain and at times a good laugh without worries. If it touches anyone, I would really appreciate it any bit, and the only thing I can promise to you is I will pass it forward when it is my time, If you need more detailed information please email below. Thank you for stopping by. cashapp $jmc3271

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

My name is Truman Woodyard. I am a 61 year old veteran of the U.S. Air Force (1984-1988).and proudly served my country. I live in Texas, and presently work for the Veterans Administration hospital in Houston. I am writing you concerning a need I have. I have medical coverage through the V.A. and all my medical needs are covered except my dental. I have currently lost 7 teeth and all my crowns on my to my top teeth. I have been told by my dentist at Monarch dental that I should have them all pulled and have implants done, As I do not have 33,000, this is way beyond my means.

If there is anyone out there who would be willing to contribute to my cause, I would greatly appreciate it; Or at least point me in the direction of a dentist that could give me implants at a good discount, or possibly a dental grant organization.

My deepest appreciation,

Truman R, Woodyard

Help me get my smile back…

Hi there, my name is Stephanie. I am 29 years old, and have 2 awesome children; an 11 year old boy and a 7 year old girl. Bad teeth have as always been a genetic issue in my family. Growing up taking care of my teeth was always a big deal. However I am still sitting here today with more painful pain from my teeth than I can bare. Sometimes it seems to take forever to make the pain stop. Almost 2 years ago I went into surgery to have 10 teeth removed. I dont have insurance. Not dental anyway. I already have medical costs from my last teeth and some from being hospitalized with heart problems which I still take medication for. I would like to just remove the teeth issues altogether and get dentures, I would really love implants but that’s way more than I could ask for. So I’m asking for $5000. If I can get more than that, it will still go towards a better smile for me. Thank you so much. I really appreciate anything dontated. God bless!

I’d like to start this off by thanking anyone willing to take the time to read my story whether you end up donating or not. But of course, I can’t thank the people who decide to help enough for there donations. And I’d like to especially give praise to God for giving me the strength to make it through my time in active addiction and showing me the people in my life that are and always will be there for me as I slowly try to put my life back together piece by piece.

My name is Jeremy and I’ll be 41 years old this upcoming January. For the past 6 years I’ve been fighting a no win battle with my addiction to Heroin. I, like so many others around the US, found myself completely addicted to opioids after having 3 ACL, MCL, and PCL surgeries. After being on the same medications for nearly 3 years, my doctor decided to retire and told me that he was cutting me off, cold turkey, bc he was getting heavy scrutiny from his superiors about having people still on opioids after you retires. So just like that he made a decision that would forever, change my life. Now I’m not going to go into all the horrible things that came about after that decision was made, but I will say that I found myself injecting Heroin after only 18 days, and for the next 6 years, I never looked back. That drug took me to some really dark places, ruining several relationships and put a huge wedge between my 2 kids and I that eventually tore me away from them for years to follow. Which was more painful then I can even describe bc prior to that I prided myself on being a stellar father.

But this is not a story of my hardships but rather a success story, if you can believe that. Bc 1 year, 2 months  and 14 days ago, I made a decision that enough was enough and started making plans to finally quit, before I become another statistic, like so many others. However, I knew that if I didn’t leave the area that I was in and move completely away from anybody and everybody that I knew in active addiction or friends that I had done drugs with in the past that I would never get off of it because misery loves company and nobody wants to see their friend suffer from sickness. So I knew it was too readily available for me to find anywhere I wanted so I decided to move up to Michigan with another recovering addict that had been cleaned for a couple years or so. I’ll tell you that I met on the streets while I was inactive addiction some years ago. So I packed up all my things kiss my loved ones goodbye and moved. And for the next two months I laid in bed and felt like I was going to die. When I finally did wake up out of my haze, I found myself hardly even recognizing who I had become and realizing that I had to make a lot of changes and say a lot of apologies to a lot of people that I’ve hurt along the way. And I’m slowly doing just that. And I can say successfully and proudly that I’ve been clean for that amount of time and I finally moved back to North Carolina about 4 months ago and have remain clean and stayed away from my past drug affiliates. The only thing I can’t seem to get away from is amir. What I mean by that is every time I look in the mirror I see my teeth are completely gone I have one tooth in my head and I’m constantly seeing family members that I haven’t seen in years and people that mean something to me and it’s a constant reminder that the last 6 years of my life have been meaningless and it’s hard to look at. I can barely eat but most importantly I’m embarrassed by it and I can’t wait to fix it so that I can forget that time in my life or at least try to forget it. So I’m asking anybody that can help to please do so, because I’ve been told by the dentist that is going to cost me right at 11,000 to get my teeth fixed. And I really don’t want to smile for my son after these long years away with one tooth and have him not recognize who I am. So I’d appreciate anybody’s help that can and understand if you can’t that’s okay too. So please keep me in your prayers and know that i appreciate anything you can do. Oh and wish me luck in my continued sobriety. Thank you to everyone.

In the dimly lit room, the shadows danced on the walls, mirroring the tumultuous dance of emotions that characterized my relationship with him. At first, everything seemed like a dream—a whirlwind of passion and promises. I fell so in love with him. Little did I know, I was stepping into a nightmare that would leave scars on my soul.

In the beginning, his charm was irresistible, and his words were like a soothing melody. However, as time passed, the symphony transformed into a discordant cacophony of control and manipulation. The once warm gaze in his eyes turned into a cold stare that pierced through my every attempt at reasoning. Mental, physical and emotional abuse became his weapons of choice, eroding my self-esteem and distorting my perception of reality.

Arguments escalated into volatile confrontations, where his anger knew no bounds. The mere act of expressing my thoughts became a perilous endeavor, met with a violent storm of aggression. His hands, once tender, now became instruments of pain. It was a twisted paradox—trying to communicate, seeking understanding, only to be met with fists and the crushing weight of his wrath.

Isolation became my constant companion. He strategically severed ties with friends and family, leaving me stranded on an emotional trailer with only him as my anchor. The world outside seemed like a distant memory, and the love I once had for myself dwindled and crumbled beneath his feet, struggling to survive in the hurricane of his cruelty.

Each day, I wore a mask, concealing the bruises and scars across my face it was hard to force a smiles. I became a prisoner of my own silence, unable to escape the suffocating grip he had on me. The fear of the unknown, of what might happen if I dared to defy him, kept me chained to this toxic bond.

But deep within the recesses of my soul, a small flame of resilience flickered. It whispered tales of strength and courage, urging me to break free from the shackles that bound me. I needed to get my life back my sanity back. One day, fueled by a surge of newfound determination, I mustered the courage to walk away from the darkness that had become my reality.

Leaving was not easy, for the scars he left were not just physical but etched into the very fabric of my being.  I can no longer smile like I always did.  Yet, with each step away from him, I rediscovered the strength that had been buried beneath layers of pain. It was a journey of healing, of learning to love myself again and reclaiming the shattered fragments of my identity. The lack of his caring for my health, I suffered a ruptured ACL and torn Meniscus. I had missing teeth from the impact of his fist crashing into my mouth. I was always smiling no matter what kind of mood I was in. A smile always made me smile. Now a smile behind a mask that I wear all the time has been the hardest to endure. I cannot afford the dental treatment that I need. I am kindly asking for help to my gain back my self-confidence. To smile again like I was known for.

In the aftermath, I emerged not as a victim but as a survivor—a testament to the indomitable human spirit that can rise from the ashes of despair. The scars remained, but they became symbols of resilience, a reminder that I had the power to rewrite my story and create a future free from the chains of abuse.

The full treatment cost is $35,000 dollars
