Help Opie get the procedure they need
Donation protected
Hi Friends! Opie is a wonderful, kind, caring soul who dedicates a lot of his time to many non-profits and businesses. He is in need of important dental work that doesn't only affect his income but also his standard of life. Having dental problems lead to several other health issues and Opie already has a lot to deal with medically. Opie suffers from a chronic illness, Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, and deals with it on the daily and some days are better than others. If you could donate any amount to help reach the goal for Opie to have this procedure, it would be amazing! The total procedure will cost over $12,000 so this is just a small portion of the overall cost of the procedure--not mentioning downtime for the procedure where they cannot work.
Ehler's Danlos Syndrome- This group of inherited illnesses affects the tissue that supports and protects other tissues and organs in the body, also known as connective tissue. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome mainly affects the skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Joints might be too loose and able to move too far. Skin might be stretchy and might not heal well after injury.
Treatment helps manage symptoms and prevent other issues Ehlers-Danlos syndrome might cause.
