Help a young man with broken teeth
Donation protected
I was in my Dentist’s waiting room. Not for me, for a young man that I have a mentoring relationship with.
His mother did a lot of drugs when he was in utero and his teeth are weaker than they should be.
She abandoned him at age 11, because she realized that every meal she fed him resulted in less money for drugs for herself. As you can imagine, his nutrition was not good up to that point. She wouldn't even buy toothpaste for him.
Fast forward over a decade and he has a mouth full of broken teeth. While I was writing this, he was in agony and having one pulled as an emergency.
My dentist donated almost $500 worth of diagnostics and x-rays to see exactly what needs to be done to save most of the teeth. That is a good man. He is also the top cosmetic and restoration dentist in the city.
I’m putting today’s bill on a credit card and will try and figure out how to come up with over $6,000 for full mouth restoration. There are only two teeth that cannot be saved.
This boy has dealt with a lot of rejection and bullying already about his broken teeth. I'm not going to tell him about this GoFundMe until it's clear that people will help out.
He literally cried today, that someone cared enough about him to do this for him. My aim is to make sure that the boy with broken teeth doesn't become a broken man because of them.
Thanks in advance. Even $5 would be a big help with the multiplying power of the Internet. A lot of my friends think nothing of spending $50 on a dinner out.
