Help Matthew get new teeth

Donation protected
Hello, friends and family! As many who have been close to me in my life know, my teeth have been horrible for a long time. Mainly due to mental illness causing bad dental hygiene, but also just some pretty bad genetics. This is something that I have tried my best in the last few years to hide and tried to make a bit better, but no matter what I've done my teeth have just gotten worse.
 Most recently as of today 10/27/2021, I had to get a tooth pulled because the nerve had broken after struggling with it for a while. As anyone would imagine it was very painful and very expensive.
 During my freshmen year of high school in January 2014, all that remained of my top teeth were removed, thus giving me my top dentures.
As I am approaching 23 years old, my bottom teeth are starting to become a big problem for me. It is getting increasingly difficult to ease the pain in my gums and eating has become so horrible that I have been living on a soft food diet for several months now. I have been too scared to confront my dental issues as the dentist's office is a very scary place to me and holds what I consider to be a bit of trauma. Having several teeth pulled throughout your childhood isn't exactly an easy thing to forget and move on from. I've consulted with an affordable denture place and am trying to set up the process to get the rest of my teeth removed, get my temporary healing dentures, and then get my new full denture set since my old top dentures are just a beginners set that I’ve had for too many years. 
I unfortunately like a lot of people in this country am uninsured. The cost of everything is roughly $10,000. I can cover about $1000 on my own but the rest would be difficult as I am fully financially independent with expenses such as rent, a car bill and any other bill you can think of. I hate being a charity case but the cost is about 46% of my annual income. Anything donated would be greatly appreciated. I will more than likely document everything that happens. Thank you again to everyone for reading and donating if you're able!
