Please help bring my mom's smile back.

My name is Kalie Valentine and I am creating this fundraiser to help bring my mom's smile back.

I want to help relieve her from some of the stress and embarrassment she goes through. When trying to join in photos, family functions, smiling and being able to eat in front of people.

A little back story on my mother was diagnosed with periodontitis disease a long time ago and was told she would start losing her teeth by her 30's. When she was 35 yrs old she had to get all of her top teeth removed and was told with in a few years here bottom teeth will need to be removed. It's been 11 yrs now and she is still struggling with her teeth due to progress of her teeth getting worse and worse. Her teeth are becoming very loose and fragile and starting to fall out on their own.

She has started her journey to get her a new smile and that is what I am reaching out for help with. My mom is one of the strongest people I know. She is always willing to give 110% plus to her kids, family and always there to help friends and neighbors when needed. She never puts herself first. I say she needs to but she give more to others than herself.

The procedure that she needs to have done costs a little over $13,000.00. I'm trying to raise $5,000.00 to go towards her surgery. If you would like to help and donate, you can donate here or directly to the dentist office can and are willing to share my post that would also be great and help out a lot. To donate directly please call summit dental at [phone redacted] and tell them you are donating towards Brandy Valentine - DOB 09/22/1978.

Thank you in advance for helping any way possible. One day soon I am hoping to see my mom smile again and be herself in front of everyone.

Thank you and have a nice day.
