Paradise's Emergency Dental Fund

Paradise is a two spirit indigenous multi-media artist living in Oakland California. They have had ongoing dental problems for at least two years which have recently worsened and become incredibly painful and debilitating. Despite working full time in retail and pursuing art gigs on the side, they have not been able to save any money to go towards having their teeth fixed. They are in need immediate need of a root canal,  filling and crown on one molar. The cost of the root canal is 1200,  300 dollars for fillings, and 1100 dollars for the crown. The only parts of this covered by their dental insurance was the initial consultation, so the full has to be paid out of pocket. We have also asked for a few extra hundred dollars to cover incidental costs and any missed wages. The pain has been so severe it has effected their ability to get to their job and caused them to miss out on other vital opportunities as well. Please help relieve Paradise's pain so they can continue to work and create and be an an active member of their beloved community!
