Keep Ellie Smiling
Donation protected
Hi Friends,
I am usually the one trying to collect and give to others and now I’m asking for help. Our youngest unicorn, Eleanor is in need of extensive dental work. As you may know both of my girls were born in Beijing China and with that came adventure and excitement and differences in care. Our Ellie was born with a lip tie and underbite all of which were deemed not a problem. Upon arrival to the US we were told that we needed to wait until she was 5 years old to do anything.
We could see the damage and sought opinion after opinion in hopes to try and get her what she needed. Finally and thankfully we have found a provider who gave us information and developed a treatment plan! However that treatment will cost about $9000 even with medical and double dental coverage. She will need to be put under and is in need of 6 crowns, sealants, nerve treatment and a the beginning treatment for a myobrace so her incoming set of teeth are not ground down and damaged all over again.
We obviously are putting in as much as we can of our own and with help from family but we have to believe that possibly this time being humbly vulnerable is also necessary.
We just want our baby to be healthy and happy and have exactly what she needs. Any and everything will help. We have made a $750 deposit for her surgery so it can be scheduled and we are waiting for a date likely to be scheduled mid August. She will be unable to have the surgery without at least 50% of the total cost. So we are asking for help. Thank you so much for considering our Ellie ❤️.
Also she has begun a part time gig driving for Door Dash as she truly wants to contribute to her care!!!
Docs included are without the general anesthesia costs and orthopedic care since that will be a different treatment.
