My name is Melissa, I lost my tooth due to a rare form of deadly pneumonia which the only way they could get rid of the infection was to pull the tooth. I had an abscess above my tooth which got infected and carved a hole the size of a ping pong ball into my lung. The only way to completely get rid of the infection was to pull the tooth. I had to get a pic line and spend over a month in the hospital. Haven’t been able to get a job since, as I work in customer service it’s effecting not only my mental health, but my ability to work and pay bills.
I did have a flipper tooth until i had a seizure and it popped out. The dentist is quoting me about $5500 to fix the other issues with my teeth and replace the one I lost.
All donations are accepted!
If you can’t donate please share this on social media, you can also print out a flyer and pass it out to your local churches, amongst friends and family.
Thank you
