Help Jonas, Close The Gap

Donation protected
The story begins in 2006 when I had my tooth brutally knocked out of my face on a “pass interference” call playing tag football with my friends (I had no idea what pass interference was and swear my friend my yelling “past” interference?)

Regardless, I got elbowed in the face and my front tooth (#9 for all my dentists out there) got knocked out - root and all. The dentist popped it back in and for 14 blissful years, I had no issues with my precious tooth. Until 2020... I finally went back to the dentist for a cleaning after not having dental insurance for many years and days later #9 chipped near the gum line. After more dentist and specialist visits than I would have ever wanted to go to in my lifetime, it was determined that I should have my tooth pulled and have a permanent put in its place. 

The exact cost for removal, implant, and crown came out to $3,083. Although I have been able to save up over the past few months, affording this unexpected procedure has put a considerable strain on my financials. 

Working for nonprofits for the past four years has been amazing! But doesn’t leave much left for my savings.

So help me fill the gap! I’ve been toothless since this past November so any amount you can give is highly appreciated!
