First let me take the time to say thank you for reading my story. Without the help of all of you I may never get my smile back.

I hate even creating this. I have been torn on whether to do this but if I ever want to truly smile again for my daughter I have no choice. I need your help

Those of you who know me know that I don't ask for help. But I honestly have no choice and that absolutely kills me inside but I have to do what I have to do.

So my story started almost 12 years ago with the birth of my daughter. Unbenounced to me, during my pregnancy, all the calcium from my body was going to feed the cancer growing in my daughter. 

After 2 battles with cancer, 2 years of chemo, and 2 months of radiation it is great to say my daughter is clear.  But during that time I let my own health go to ensure she had hers. 

So after finally making up my mind to get my health in order because I want be around for my daughter, it was determined that my teeth and my smile had to go. There was no saving it, it was beyond repair. 

So on Valentine's Day of 2021 I gave up my smile. When I got my dentures they were unfortunately not made properly causing me to not be able to bite,  chew,  or even close my jaw without it hurting. 

For over a year I tried to bring my smile back with dentures.  Unfortunately it is known that dentures are just a stand in. So the next step was implants, I set up my appointment only to have my heart ripped from my chest. For a full mouth four point implant it would cost approximately $60000.

Even worse the doctor informed me that my jaw bone is deteriorating at a very quick rate due to the amount of calcium taken from my body. 

I truly and honestly don't know what to do and have been crying since my appointment. I have approximately 6 months before I will never be able to do it due to the deterioration of my bone. 

Just to have the studs and temporary teeth put into my jawbone it will be around $30,000. This one step would ensure that I can get my smile back one day. 

With this help I can get the studs put in my jawbone and eventually get my full permanent smile. Without these studs and the deterioration occurring in my jaw I may never get to truly smile again.  

With everything that my daughter has been through I want nothing more than to be able to truly smile and enjoy my life with her, after I almost lost her.  

Thank you for reading my story and helping to bring back my smile to enjoy with my daughter.
