NEED URGENT ORAL SURGERY this is a living nightmare

Donation protected

Before I say anything, I ask that you please read everything.
My name is Ashley Ann Bissonette. I am 32 years old and am still very young.
Long story short, my dentist mixed up my oral biopsy with another patient's biopsy, and ended up getting results that were positive for oral cancer. The problem is, that I in fact, DO NOT HAVE ORAL CANCER. Because they mixed up my results from the biopsy, they wrongfully EXTRACTED OVER HALF OF MY TEETH, AND BROKE OFF / RUINED THE OTHER HALF OF MY TEETH IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO EXTRACT THEM WITHOUT SEDATION (I WAS AWAKE). I HAVE NEVER FELT WORSE PAIN IN MY LIFE. I AM STILL LIVING WITH CONSTANT PAIN AS SOME OF MY NERVES ARE NOW FULLY EXPOSED.. They could not pull them all, awake without sedation, healthy teeth are not meant to be prodded poked broken cracked shaved and extracted... sure I have cavities, that doesn't mean you take out 11 of my teeth and destroy countless others.
I was suicidal, I wanted to kill myself and i'm still in that phase as i'm typing this. AT 32 YEARS OLD, I AM WALKING AROUND WITH OVER HALF OF MY TEETH GONE, AND THE OTHER HALF ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY WRECKED BY THE ORAL SURGEON WHO WRONGFULLY DID THIS TO ME. I can't open my mouth in public. I can't eat anything other than soup. I have ZERO SELF ESTEEM THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM ME. The last extractions they did were on March 18th, 2024. Today is march 20th, 2024. The dentist that removed my teeth without sedation, referred me to a place called aspire. THEY WANT $15,000 TO EXTRACT THE REMAINING 18 TEETH I HAVE LEFT. They want $58,500 IN TOTAL, to extract the remainder of my teeth under sedation, including the making of dental implants. The dentist / oral surgeon that wrongfully took my teeth, will not see me to even attempt extracting the remainder of my teeth without sedation due to the fact that they wrongfully pulled my teeth in the first place hence having acquired a lawyer, and am attempting to sue said Dentist. The litigation process will take years, I know this because I have been in the litigation process for YEARS, regarding a completely different and unrelated issue. People keep telling me that I don't need a GoFundMe and will not donate or share simply because I have legal counsel.. that could not be more wrong and far from the truth. My own FAMILY has harassed me and called me a liar despite all of the evidence proving without a doubt that I am a victim of medical malpractice. I do not believe I will ever reach my goal, and all I can do is cry, but THIS IS ALL I HAVE LEFT AT A CHANCE TO FIX THE DAMAGE DONE. EVERYONE DESERVES TO SMILE AND DRINK WATER WITHOUT BEING IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN...
I have called over 100 places in Northwest Indiana, and $7,500 is the absolute cheapest price I've been given to extract the rest of my teeth. INSURANCE WILL NEVER COVER ANY OF THE PRICE AS THEY CONSIDER THIS A COSMETIC PROCEDURE/PLASTIC SURGERY. I DO NOT APPLY FOR CARE CREDIT NOR DO THEY OFFER ANY FINANCIAL PLANS AT THE MOMENT THAT I CAN WORK WITH DUE TO MY CREDIT SCORE.

I am asking, with everything in me, to please put yourself in my shoes and try to imagine the pain they have caused me, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

I am already SEVERELY mentally ill, as I was diagnosed with, and have suffered from bipolar disorder, chronic depression, severe panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADD, ADHD, and suicidal ideation, since the tender age of 15
I cry every single day from the sheer pain alone physically. Mentally, l cannot even begin to put into words, much less describe the sheer torment that I have been put through throughout this process. I do not wish this on my worst enemy.
I can only pray that my fundraiser is a success, considering this is my LAST OPTION, at ever having, and or, being able to smile again. I am struggling significantly in my attempt to cope with this. I pray that I am someday, able to smile again without agonizing embarrassment and pain.
Thank you to anyone who finds it in their hearts to donate, and thank you to my closest family and friends for trying so hard to keep me here, as my depression has taken over my sanity to the point of no return. God bless you all.

All donations have been securely put away and are being saved for the procedure. Until I meet my goal that is where the funds will stay. Thank you.
