Support Aaron's Urgent Dental Care

Hi, my name is Aaron Petersen, and I am reaching out to you for help in getting my teeth fixed.

I’ve been raising my two wonderful daughters by myself for the last decade, juggling the roles of both mom and dad while also working full-time and performing as a local comic in Tucson. While caring for my daughters has been my greatest joy, it has also meant that there has been no extra money to spend on my own dental care.

I do all the necessary home care for my teeth, but there is significant dental work that needs to be done. Over the years, I’ve tried saving money for dental care, but the expenses of raising my daughters always come first. I’ve lost three teeth due to pain and infections because I couldn’t afford the treatment to save them. The dental issues I face cause me constant pain and pose a serious risk to my overall health and self-esteem.

To be candid, my teeth cause me daily physical and mental distress. The pain makes it difficult to focus and be around anyone, and the thought of not having any teeth left and how my smile looks now greatly impacts my self-esteem.

Here’s a breakdown of the urgent dental work I need:

These procedures are essential to prevent further tooth loss, infections, and pain, and to restore my ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

As a single parent and sole provider, my income is fully dedicated to supporting my daughters. Despite my best efforts to save, the cost of the dental work I need is beyond my reach. That’s why I’m turning to GoFundMe for help. Any contribution, big or small, will bring me one step closer to a healthier, pain-free life.

I will continue to look for other resources available to me, but I have put off asking for help for a long time and figure if I do not ask for help now, it will be too late to ask for help later.

The funds raised will go directly towards:

Your support means the world to me. With your help, I can get the dental care I desperately need and continue being the best parent I can be to my daughters. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness. Please share my campaign with your friends and family to help spread the word.
