Help Me Smile Again: Rebuilding My Life After Loss, Pain, and Isolation
I used to be known for my smile—something people complimented me on all the time. Now, I hide from the world. Severe dental damage has left me with broken teeth, constant pain, and a level of shame that has taken over my life. I rarely leave my home anymore, and the isolation has affected both my physical and emotional health. On top of this, I’m still carrying the heartbreak of losing my 17-year-old in 2020—a loss that changed me forever. I’m now facing $15,000–$25,000 in dental work, hoping to get veneers to restore my smile and simply feel like myself again. I can’t do this alone, and I’m asking for help.
