I received a lot of help in June but much less since, I’ve been hovering around the $2,000 mark for a long time so I decided to reformat and explain things a bit more.
I’m trying to fundraise to fix my teeth. This is one of those things we don’t think about usually but tooth problems can cause chronic and severe infection leading to
Constant fatigue malaise
extreme pain
bone loss
facial disfigurement
nerve damage
sepsis
heart problems (usually because the infection travelled from the tooth to the heart via the blood stream)
One of my infections was so bad I had to get some of the surrounding bone removed, so it was an extremely close call. At any time an infected tooth can affect the heart via the bloodstream. This can be deadly. I spent months barely able to get out of bed not realising it was because of several latent infections
Besides the health issues my teeth are putting me at risk for, food is part of almost every part of our lives. I can’t have dinner with my family. I can’t go out to eat with my friends. Every day I have to work out how I’m going to get food into my stomach because I have no molars in my jaw to chew with. I urgently need this work done;
A partial denture, to replace the molars removed from my jaw ($3,000)
Four crowns to stop me losing my four front top teeth ($8,000 or $2,000 per tooth)
At least one, and almost certainly multiple, root canals as well as fillings (at least $1,000)
My dentist is going to email me an estimate this week, but it’s almost certainly going to cost $11,000 minimum, probably more
I know it’s a lot of money and I’m doing my best to save but it’s very difficult as a disabled student with kids. My youngest especially is missing out on things because all our money is going towards this.
But without this treatmentI’ll suffer more infections, more broken teeth, more extractions, and likely more health complications, and more severe ones
My bio dad doesn’t speak to me because my kids are trans and my mother disowned me after she scammed me with a car loan and I refused to continue giving her money. You’re all I’ve got.
As you may know I’ve received the Vajrayana Buddhist Ngakpa ordination and I can perform prayers, pujas and other practices in thanks for your help (if you would like that)
Hey babes, this is gonna be ongoing for a while so if you’d be kind of enough to share it so people who can help see it I’d really appreciate it. Also to everyone who has reblogged and especially those who have donated, I really cannot thank you enough
So IDK if people will understand this concept but I made “corner pins”
Basically they are tiny pins with TWO posts on them, and you use them to hold up mementos like instax/photos/tickets etc without having to puncture them, and without having to pinch them with the metal or the push pin edge etc. You can simply rest the corner of the item between the posts gently!
These are the cute ribbon/bow ones, I also made some others that i think would be really cool on your mementos ToT
Let me know what you think about this concept?? I don’t know how to market it but i really thought it was a nice idea T_T. You can find them in my store here
hello, i have made a google forms to submit to me your top five on each album & top five music videos from taylor swift so i can make gifs out of my follower’s faves (or at least an average of the faves)
we know swifties have strong opinions. make yours heard today.
I have a longer post here but to tldr it, we only have $50 until Thursday (thanks to a generous donation, otherwise it’d be none). My money for the dentist is in a separate savings account so it’s inaccessible.
Chris’s work is an hour drive each way so we need money for fuel and also groceries, especially for my enby cos teens need to eat yk
