Annie Needs Braces!
Donation protected
Hi, my name's Cath. I'm raising funds to get my girlfriend braces. Annie has a beautiful smile and everyone loves her cute little fangs, but teeth only do this when distressed! The way it looks is a symptom of terrible overcrowding and it stresses her teeth. It is nearly impossible to keep clean without extreme difficulty and pain.
Annie spent the formative years of her young adult life on active duty in the military, during which a dentist overworked her teeth and set her up for worse problems that severely impacted her confidence and even her comfort in seeking dental care. A period of homelessness before and after the military compounded her deteriorating dental hygiene and now that she is housed and employed she is taking her life back.
She spent the last month taking her first steps to improve her health with visits to a dentist for multiple deep cleanings that required local anesthetic. It has been a great help and she is already happier and smiles with more confidence. As her boyfriend of multiple years, I can tell you the change was so drastic and immediate it brought me to tears.
Our finances are quite tight as we plan our future together and insurance does not cover this essential orthodontic procedure. Even a small donation will go a long way to make her smile even brighter. Thank you so much for your help.
