Dentures for Alison

My name is David Baker and I am fundraising to get dentures for Alison Carey.

Alison struggles with a traumatic brain injury from a brutal assault in 2015.  This
is an effort to raise funds to replace a set of dentures damaged beyond repair in a fall.

Earlier this year Alison had a life-threatening medical condition that required overnight emergency surgery. This was followed by six weeks in the hospital fighting an aggressive infection.

By law, SSI disability benefits are reduced for each month a person is in a facility and the government is paying half or more of the bill. So instead of the usual amount, for two months Alison received only the minimum monthly amount the government must pay: $30.

But her expenses didn’t change; landlords still expect to get the rent.

Making her situation worse, the SSA mistakenly docked her one month too many, and so far has not corrected its error.

The cut in income has delayed Alison’s hope of coming up with $2,500 to replace her dentures. Medicaid won’t pay for another set until 2026. So now she has no teeth, which severely limits what she can eat.

Here is Alison:

Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
