Please Support Urgent Surgery for Death of Jawbone

Message to GFM customer service: You have been asked you more than once, please allow donor comments (AND) videos from Vimeo, as other funding platforms do.

Message to Visitors: You may view the video Kimberly made for you by following this link https://vimeo.com/1040237723

Kimberly's condition is an EXTREMELY serious life threatening condition.

Will you please take 5 minutes to view the video, then donate $20 and tell 2 friends?

We are asking you for the gift of life,

.....please.

By following donating and following, Kimberly will share in her private updates how to detect a jawbone infection before it becomes life threatening. This happens from teeth extractions and root canals. (Dead tissue) What she will learn about medically while recovering from this can help bolster health and appreciation for your own life while you have it, no matter what the status is of your own health.

~* ~* ~* CURRENT TREATMENT PLAN OVERVIEW *~ *~ *~

This is going to be a 4-6 month campaign / journey with a series of 3 major medical interventions.

She spent $3,000 on the initial phase of assessment and treatment. She has no savings left. She needs $6,000 to start phase 1 of treatment in February to remove all metal in jaw, then $12,000 in phase 2 March to remove the infection in the jawbone.

Hyperbaric oxygen is needed for treating the infection of the jawbone during phase 2. She has an out of state provider willing to fight with insurance. No one in California is willing to try due to past failures. A service provider in my county has a non-profit foundation to assist uninsured patients like me. (If you need a 501c3 write off and want to help, this is a great opportunity.)

Phase 3, not currently scheduled, will be $9,000 for managing the tooth threatening to erupt into the sinus cavity and the jaw misalignment from 4 premolars that were removed as a child, which is causing serious pain and damage. (It REALLY screwed up my jaw alignment.)

This is a race against time to save my life. Serious delays reduce my chances of surviving and thriving again.

The more people who know about Kimberly’s story, the closer and faster she can get to her goal, so she can focus on healing and spend less time on public outreach. In spite of BONE CRUSHING FATIGUE and difficulty communicating, meeting new people has been an incredible delight so far.

There were some words that ring so true for Kimberly that was shared by a woman she met during her visit to the dental surgeon in Salt Lake City. “Being successful at something like this is akin to creating a sculpture from a block of clay. The path to creating your vision usually isn’t clear, but if you keep chipping away, eventually you can create something beautiful.”

Efforts like this take very significant effort, when Kimberly has so little energy to raise funds. She is genuinely wondering if she will live to see next Christmas, so she wants to find joy in this experience as much as one can.

It would be so wonderful if she survived this phase of her life that she is sharing so openly with the world, that it can be an enriching experience in which we all can have gratitude that “it” happened.

Thank you for visiting!

Wishing you well,

Kimberly Carr (KC), beneficiary
