Help Shiloh get her healthy smile back!

Hi! My name is Cindy, aka Aunty, and I am raising funds for my niece Shiloh's dental treatment. Shiloh is a smart, beautiful and caring 19 year old young lady. She has dreams of working as an EMT someday.

Recently she broke her front teeth eating sunflower seeds, of all things. If you zoom in on her picture you will see it is no small chip. On examination the dentist also found many other critical problems needing attention. How can this happen in someone so young, you might ask. Shiloh has had regular dental care her whole life. But genetics play a huge role in how our teeth "behave" over time. Shiloh was born in Haiti, where prenatal health is not what it is in North America, as was her biological mother, grandmother, and so on. Add to that a few poor life choices over the last few years and this is where we are.

So why am I raising funds to cover her dental treatment? Several reasons. Shiloh is living on her own and just started a new job after many months of unemployment. She does not have dental insurance. Her dad is currently unemployed and her mom is disabled so they do not have insurance or funds to pay for this themselves.

If you've had a broken tooth or other deep decay in your teeth you know the kind of pervasive pain this causes. Dental health affects the health of the entire body as well. Not to mention the affect on a fragile sense of self worth when your smile is messed up.

Please consider helping Shiloh get her healthy smile back. It will change her life.

Finally, please rest assured that all funds donated will go directly to the dentist. If you would like to see the actual dental estimate please let me know. I'm happy to share it with you.

Thank you so much for your support. The family, and especially Shiloh, appreciate you more than you can know!
