Hello, Thank you for taking this moment to read my story.  I am a disabled single mom and have fallen into a depression because my teeth are ruining my health and my life.  I was married once.  I had a good life and a good job.  Everything changed. I am now diabetic, disabled and caring for my son alone.   My teeth are ruining my health. As you can see almost of of my teeth are broken off and black.  The Front 2 are chipped and have cracks in them.  The bottom teeth are not much better.  I can only eat soft foods.  Mostly oatmeal or soup.  I am not getting the nutrition I need as a diabetic.  I cannot wear dentures as I suffer from severe dry mouth and the dentist explained that dentures will not adhere to the roof of my mouth.  He also explained I will likely get sores that won't heal with the dentures moving around.     I am a social outcast as well because of my teeth.  I only talk to my son or with people over the phone.  I look away or down at my feet if I have to talk to a teacher or someone face to face.  I can't even eat in front of anyone for fear of disgusting them.  I am anxious, isolated and lonely.    Over the last 3 years I have had nothing but hardship and I want to change that.  Not just for myself but for my son.  I live 200% below poverty level and am not able to save much.  I want to be able to go back to school, get a job, get off of benefits and reclaim my life.  I am only 49 and cry when I think of the years ahead of me with this mouth.  I need to regain my confidence and self-esteem.  Diabetes is not my only health issue but it is one that is affecting both my emotional and physical well being. I know it is a large amount to ask for but please consider donating what you can. Please help give me some hope.  My son and I would be grateful for any work I can have done to repair my broken smile because this affects him to.  Thank You for Your Kindness
