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

My name is Shidi, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your compassion and support during a critical moment in our lives.

I come to you not as a stranger, but as someone who believes in the innate goodness that resides in the hearts of those who have been blessed with abundance. Life has presented my family with an unforeseen challenge, and I find myself compelled to share our story in the hopes that you might be moved to make a difference.

I grew up in the warmth of my mother’s love and strength, a love that has been my anchor through life’s storms. Recently, our world has been shaken by a traumatic event – my mother was involved in a severe car accident that has left her with grave injuries and in need of immediate surgical intervention. The doctors have stressed the urgency of this procedure to ensure her chances of a full recovery.

My mother’s health, already fragile, now hangs in the balance, and the financial burden that comes with the necessary medical treatment is beyond our means. We have exhausted our limited resources on initial medical expenses and treatments, leaving us in a desperate situation. The cost of the surgery, estimated at $4,000, is an insurmountable obstacle for us.

I understand the gravity of the times we live in, and I do not approach you lightly with this request. The purpose of this letter is to humbly ask for your support in raising the funds required for my mother’s surgery. Your generosity can be the lifeline that helps restore my mother’s health and allows our family to navigate through this challenging chapter.

We need approximately $4,000 to cover the surgery costs and associated medical expenses. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a profound impact on our lives. I have attached relevant medical documents and details outlining the estimated costs for your reference.

I recognize that you may receive numerous requests, and your time and resources are valuable. However, I believe in the power of compassion and the potential for positive change when individuals come together to support one another.

If you find it in your heart to assist us, please consider making a donation to [Your Preferred Fundraising Platform or Bank Account Details]. Additionally, feel free to reach out to me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] if you have any questions or require further information.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness can be the beacon of hope that guides us through these dark times. We are immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

I am a single, retired Christian male, age 68 living paycheck to paycheck on a fixed income. My divorced daughter and two teenage grandchildren live with me as well. I have always been one who tried to pull my own weight in this world and for the most part have been able to provide for myself without assistance from others. Unfortunately, I now find myself in a situation that I am having a hard time dealing with so I decided to reach out to see if there was any assistance available.

Over the last 3 years I have required extensive dental work as a result of a lifetime of smoking. Fortunately, through the grace of God, I have been an ex-smoker for 4 years but the damage has been rather extensive. It has required multiple extractions for decayed teeth and I have been able to have implants installed for some of the extractions but I’m still left with missing teeth. My dental insurance only covered a small portion of the extractions and none of the costs associated with the implants or the crowns. In order to pay the dentist I had to take out a loan through my credit union and also had to apply for another credit card (Care Credit) to cover the expenses. Both if these loans are approaching the maximum available amounts. The balance of these two loans now exceeds $15,000 and I’m making payments of $500 a month on these loans.

Two weeks ago I had to have 6 more teeth extracted and the cost for implants will be approximately $10,500. They offered me a reduced price of $8000 if I paid cash. I have until February to figure out how I’m going to cover the costs. If I wait too long I risk bone loss in my jaw. Plus it has been very difficult to eat. I have to eat soft foods and am only able to chew in the front. This whole experience has been extremely humbling.

If anyone has a desire to assist, any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am Andrea. I am 56 years old. I live in a small town in the  Texas Panhandle. It is a small town where everyone knows each other. I haven’t gone to the grocery store,  in this town in years. When I go there I know I’m going to see people that I know and people that I went to school with. When I was young people would tell me how to beautiful smile. Now my smile is so bad that I’m too ashamed to look at anyone. I feel like such a failure. I work for Heroes Home Care. I worked there for years. I have four clients. Heroes Home Care is a company that takes care of disabled vets. I love my job and I love taking care of these American Heroes. When I get paid my check is pretty much already spent. I live paycheck to paycheck. I always have to make sure that I take out money and put it aside for gas, because I work in a town thats 30 miles away. After I get off of work I go buy groceries  and get anything I need before I return home. it takes off some of the stress and anxiety because I don’t know the people that works there in the store. I don’t have to worry about people walking up to me and ask me how I’m doing because I don’t know anybody that lives in this town,. where I work. Over the years I never went to the dentist cuz I can never afford it.  I’m seeing the results of that now because I have eight teeth that have rotten in the back that are broken off and the roots are still in my gums. I have two teeth in the front of my mouth one on the top and one on the bottom, thast has fallin  out because my gum has started deteriorating. I bought this stuff off the internet that you melt and then you stick it in the vacant spot where your tooth supposed to go, it gets hard and feels the spot. it doesn’t make it really look like a tooth, but it makes it less noticeable, because there isn’t a vacant black hole there. The tooth beside the missing one is about to fall out. that is always on my mind. because I Know when it falls out there’s nothing I can do to fill it then. The whole will be too big. I’ve looked into getting a loan for implants. no one will give me a loan because I don’t have any credit. I don’t have bad credit, it’s just that I don’t have any credit at all.

If anyone finds it in their heart to help, any amount would make a big difference.       I want to thank you in advance.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.  YOU are truly my HERO!

Help me smile again: I need $16,000 for my dental treatment

My name is Adan, and I have been suffering from severe dental problems for years. I finally decided to go to a dentist and they  extracted most of my teeth and they did denture procedure in August 2023. However, the procedure cost me $16,000, which I could not afford. I had to borrow money from my family and friends, but they couldn’t really help. So  I agreed to pay the balance in monthly installments. But then, I lost my job due to my appearance.  and I have been unable to fix it. I have also been struggling with health issues, both physical and mental, as a result of the stress and anxiety caused by my dental problems and financial difficulties. I have been unable to pay for my dental treatment, and I am now past due by two months. My dentist will not see me until I pay the full amount, and I am at risk of collections, and  legal action, or damaging our relationship. I also do not want to jeopardize my dental health, as I am still healing from the extraction and denture procedure, and I need professional guidance and care to complete my treatment.

Your donation will make a huge difference in my life. I need $16,000 to pay for my dental treatment, which includes the extraction and denture procedure, the medications and follow-up visits, and the interest and fees. With your help, I will be able to pay off my debt, resume my treatment, and restore my dental health. I will also be able to improve my physical and mental well-being, and find a new job. Your donation will help me smile again, and I will be forever grateful for your generosity.

One of the most difficult aspects of my dental problems is the impact on my daily life. I have trouble eating and speaking, and I often experience pain and discomfort. I have to avoid certain foods and drinks, and I have to chew very carefully. I also have to clean and maintain my dentures regularly, which is time-consuming and costly. I feel embarrassed and ashamed of my appearance, and I avoid going out in public or socializing with others. I have lost my confidence and self-esteem, and I feel isolated and depressed. I miss the simple joys of life, such as smiling, laughing, and enjoying a meal with friends. I long for the day when I can do these things again without fear or pain.

Please donate now and help me smile again. You can donate online through this link: ,https://paypal.me/adan224?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US or in person.

Hello! My name is Denise and I am 53 years old. I am a Mental Health Counselor and I love helping other people. I have been a counselor for 20+ years. Well today I need some help! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have lost all of my teeth. I was forced to get dentures and they are awful. There is the adhesive that you use to to hold the teeth in and it gets stuck on your gums when you take the dentures out to clean them. Or the fact that they move all the time and I can only eat soft foods. Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t want to sound ungrateful because I know it could be worse. But I have never done anything for myself. I was a single mom with two kids so money has always been tight. Now my kids are adults and it’s my turn to create my own life. One thing that I have been hoping for is being able to get dental implants. They are the closest to real teeth and they are permanent. However, they are so very expensive and insurance won’t cover it. I have been told by the dentist that I have less than a year to get the implants because I have lost so much bone density in the back. The only place I still have bone is in the front. But time is limited before implants are out of my reach forever. So like the website, I am begging for money so I can start the procedure in January 2024. The cost is $31,000! So if there is someone out there that would be able to help me I would be forever grateful and I would spend the rest of my life paying it forward so others can reach their own goals and dreams! This would mean the world to me to be able to smile again with confidence! Thank you for reading my story and for your consideration!

Thank you so much!

Hello, my name is Maria and it’s been years since I’ve smiled because I’ve only have  2 teeth left and they are black and rotten. My self esteem is so low I barely leave my camper. I’m so embarrassed of my smile that I cover my mouth when I talk to strangers or I look down or away from them. I’m also in a lot of pain. My whole jaw swells up and sometimes it so bad i can’t open my eyes. I cry all the time from the pain and from the sadness of just wanting to smile again. Laugh again. I would love to get the dental implants. I would never stop smiling. So please help me be happy again. The cost for the implants is around $5,000-$10,000 . Getting the dental implants would change my whole entire life… paypal.me/Gracew1976

I’m reaching out today with a heavy heart and a humble request. My beloved father, has been through an incredibly tough battle in his life, facing the challenges of both cancer and the life-saving treatments that came with it. While he emerged victorious against cancer, the chemotherapy and radiation that saved his life have taken a toll on his dental health.

The damage to his teeth has been severe, and it’s not just a cosmetic issue – it’s affecting his overall health and well-being. Of course because his insurance wasn’t great before the cancer, his dental insurance coverage is practically non-existent. He’s in constant pain, struggling to eat, and it’s affecting his self-esteem. We want to give him back the ability to smile and eat comfortably, things we often take for granted.

However, the cost of the necessary dental work is substantial, and it’s a burden our family cannot bear alone. We’ve been quoted $6,000 in total to both put him under and have his teeth extracted. This is not even getting into the dentures, but it would be a step in the right direction. We are humbly asking for your support in this difficult time. Your generosity can help him regain his dental health and, in turn, his confidence and quality of life.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your kindness and compassion will help us achieve our goal and bring that radiant smile back to his face.

With heartfelt gratitude,

First, thank you to whoever has taken the time to read this and for considering me as a donee.

•  My name is David; I’m 38, and as of November 4, I’ll be 38. I am a single father of twin boys who are in high school. I have a full-time job and a part-time seasonal job. Both are in fields I enjoy working in. In the last six to ten years, I’ve removed myself from interaction with everyone, no matter the situation.  The reason for the withdrawal is that I have a major dental problem. Out of my top teeth, I have maybe one and a half teeth left in my gums. There are only six or so teeth left on the bottom gums. As painful as it’s been these last years, it pales in comparison to every time I said nothing to a stranger who said hello as we walked past one another. The hundreds of times I’ve turned away from coworkers having conversations on a lunch break or a few beers after work. I feel some of them believe I think I’m better than them for not speaking to them. I don’t even consider taking a girl out or trying to date. What hurts the most is every time I’ve wanted to smile and nod at my sons to let them know how proud of them I am. Another one that causes me the most pain is every time I’ve turned away from meeting some of my son’s friends and their parents. As I mentioned, my boys are in high school, and they both play in their school’s marching band. They are pretty good, so they go to several companies every year.  My financial situation is paycheck to paycheck. My boys need for nothing; they might not get something they want, but I do what I can. They are the best kids any parent could ask for. I wish I felt like I was the best parent they could have. It hurts when I can’t smile ear to ear, showing my excitement.
