Help Mollie smile again!
Donation protected
My name is Katie Apgar, and I'm making this fundraiser for my older sister Mollie, who is a sophomore studying Social Work at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.
On September 25th, 2020, Mollie was at school in her apartment with her three roommates. She woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and in the dark fell up the stairs and landed directly on her front teeth. Three of her teeth were chipped, all three being right in front of her mouth which not only impacts her ability to eat but also causes her lots of pain and insecurity.
On October 8th, 2020 Mollie went to an orthodontist and was told that not only would each tooth need to be bonded in order to repair the chips, but she damaged the nerves so badly that she needs to get two root canals. As of last year, Mollie has not had health insurance due to aging out of her health care plan, and she has yet to find an affordable option. Therefore, although we do not have an exact cost, we are expecting to pay anywhere from $2-5k to fix her three teeth.
On top of all of this, my mother is currently sick and is unable to work. While we try to get her diagnosed and treated, she cannot work and so we do not have an income right now, which is difficult enough without a $5,000 bill over our heads. Both my sister and I are currently in college which makes this cost even harder to pay.
Any money from this GoFundMe will go directly to Mollie so that she can pay off her medical bills. In the event that we raise extra, it will be put in a savings account and used to pay off tuition for Spring 2021.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who happens to donate or share this fundraiser, it means the world to our family <3
