Greetings! I am a 43 yr. old grandmother. About 6 years ago my life and my teeth began falling apart, literally. People used to comment on my "beautiful smile". Now I try to hide that smile as much as possible. Because pretty much every tooth I own has lost the enamel. Now I have a mouth full of rotting, discolored, and broken teeth. My gums are always hurting and inflamed, and I battle absesses constantly, which in turn makes me get sick quite often. I woke up this morning and realised that yet another tooth had broken off at the gum. I can only imagine that I swallowed it in my sleep. Its not the first time, and I often wonder what kind of health problems that might lead to. I actually ended up at the dentist with an emergency because of another horrible abcess(I had to spend every penny I had) and was told that if I would have waited another 24 hours the infection could have spread to my bloodstream and have very bad consequences on my health. This is a very serious problem that I cannot afford to fix, but it has to be fixed somehow. I can't even eat most foods that I need for nutrition because my teeth break off while chewing and it's very painful. According to the dentist it will cost most of my years paychecks to have the oral sergery I need. All of my teeth have to be surgically removed, then I will need dentures. This is why I need your donations. I am barely paying my bills and can't afford dental surgery. I am reminded of my circumstances every morning when I look in the mirror. I see an ugly snagletooth witch. I'm also apprehensive about meeting new people. I dont really want to open my mouth and say "Hi" because I am painfully aware of the fact that what I look like really is an issue. Before my teeth started to break apart, I could go job huntig and have several opportunities within a day or two. The way my teeth look have caused this to become something of the past. For 2 years I went to interview after interview, no one would hire me. I decided I had better look for a "back of the house job". Thank god for my boss Tim. He gave me a job washing dishes. I make about $9,500.00 year and I am grateful for it. At least I'm surviving. I feel forced to beg for donations, I am not used to asking for hand-outs and this is hard for me to do. But my teeth are only going to continue to fall apart unless I can have them all removed. I know I can't afford it on my own, so I have to ask for help. I'm desperate. I can't do this myself. I need your help. Desperate, Just one more emotion to add to the pile of: ugly, afraid to talk to people, uneasy, apprehensive, helpless, hopeless,needing, etc., etc. I'm just not the happy, talkative person I once was. I'm always trying to blend into the wall these days. Your donations are so greatly appreciated. Your donations will give me much more than oral surgery, they will offer me a chance to get my life back.
