Supporting a Mother’s Journey to Dental Health

For the first time, I’m reaching out to a wider community for help. As a 36-year-old wife and mother of three incredible children, my life is filled with love, joy, and the vibrant chaos of a busy family. I am a woman of faith, deeply grateful for every day, and I have so much more to live for.

Life has thrown me more than its fair share of challenges. I’ve endured the profound grief of losing my father to a drunk driver, battled bulimia, survived severe falls due to seizures, and even faced a heart attack followed by open-heart surgery. Through it all, my faith and the love of my family have been my anchors, pulling me through unimaginable pain and recovery.

However, amidst these battles, a silent and debilitating struggle began: the rapid deterioration of my teeth. What started as discomfort has escalated into a daily torment. My teeth have become fractured shards beneath my gums, causing constant bleeding and painful cuts to my mouth. Eating, once a simple pleasure, is now a painful chore.

More than the constant pain, what truly haunts me is the fear of infection. After surviving so many life-threatening ordeals, the idea of a preventable infection taking me away from my children and the future I envision with them is unbearable. I dream of seeing my children grow, of holding my grandchildren, and hearing them call my name. I’ve stood by too many gravesides in my life, and I am determined not to have my family stand by mine for a preventable reason.

I have already received an estimate for the extensive dental work needed – a long, painful, and very expensive road ahead that includes extractions and full dental restoration. This vital treatment will eliminate the risk of infection and allow me to live without constant pain, to truly savor meals, and to smile confidently again.

This is where I humbly ask for your support. I have exhausted all other avenues and truly have no way to fund this crucial treatment on my own. Every single donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to a healthy future and allows me to be the mother and wife my family deserves, free from pain and fear.

I believe in the power of God and the kindness of humanity. Your generosity will not only alleviate my physical suffering but will also give me the precious gift of time with my loved ones.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Please share my story if you are able.

With the deepest gratitude I ask you help Me Smile Again!

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.
