Hi, my name is Kimberly. So, I’ve had problems with my teeth for as long as I can remember. My front teeth have been crooked almost my whole life. When I was 5, my mother accidentally hit me in the mouth playing baseball and consequently broke out my front teeth and broke my nose. They grew back all crooked. It’s been a hard thing to deal with growing up like that as we never could afford braces or anything like that.
Fast forward to a year ago. I then entered an abusive relationship and was punched in the face several times, knocking my teeth loose. Well, as you know, there will be no growing those back. I went and had my teeth checked because of the injury and lo and behold, I have so much damage not only from just bad teeth and bad genetics but also because of the injury. All my teeth need to be pulled. When they told me the price of dental implants, I cried. It’s bad enough going through my life with messed up crooked teeth, but at the age of 42 to have no teeth at all, I just want to disappear.
I’m working two jobs and trying to save the money as well, and any side jobs I can get, I’m doing them as well, but with monthly bills, children, and grandchildren, it’s just not amounting to much. At this rate, I’m going to lose all my teeth and never have enough to do it, and once your teeth are gone, I guess the possibility of implants is reduced as the days go by because of bone shrinkage. Please, I’m begging you and praying that this doesn’t happen to me. Please help me fix this so at least once in my life I can smile with confidence and happiness. Thank you in advance for anything and everything you donate. You’re truly a blessing, and I can’t thank you enough.
