Restore Chris's Smile: A Veteran's Need

Hello, my name is Chris. I’m a proud U.S. Army veteran, having honorably served from 2003 to 2006. Today, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in a journey to reclaim something that has been a source of great pain and difficulty—my smile.

My Story

After dedicating years to serving our nation, I transitioned back to civilian life in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Like many veterans, I’ve faced challenges, but I’ve always taken pride in overcoming them. Unfortunately, I’m now battling an issue I can’t solve alone: severe dental complications that have taken a toll on my health, confidence, and quality of life.

For years, my dental health has steadily declined, leading to difficulty eating, speaking, and even smiling. As a disabled individual living on a fixed income, the cost of implants is far beyond my reach. Despite my best efforts, insurance coverage and VA benefits fall short of covering this essential procedure.

Why I Need Your Help

Implants are not just about aesthetics—they’re about restoring health, self-esteem, and the ability to lead a normal life. Without them, I face continued discomfort, risks to my overall health, and the loss of simple joys like sharing a laugh without hesitation.

The total cost for the procedure, including consultations, surgery, and post-operative care, is estimated at $35,000. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making this life-changing treatment possible.

How Your Support Makes a Difference

Your generosity will give me more than just implants—it will give me hope. With your help, I’ll regain the ability to eat without pain, speak confidently, and smile with pride. As a veteran, I’ve spent my life serving others; now, I humbly ask for your help in reclaiming my health and dignity.
