Liz Story Emergency Oral Surgery Fund
Donation protected
Liz has faced a lot of adversity in the past two decades — caring for her husband after a devastating car accident, and six years as the sole caregiver for her parents. She survived a near-lethal abdominal injury in 2012, and a brain hemorrhage in 2019. All resulted in a devastating impact on Liz's financial stability. She had no health insurance, and was unable to afford dental care. Liz needs major oral reconstructive surgery to address tooth loss, oral pain, bone and tissue loss, food restrictions, and a reluctance to fully smile.
Last November, Sony Music released Liz Story Songs of Christmas. The album cover is a photo of Liz in her forties. Shortly after its release, Liz said to us, “I want my smile back.”
Liz's dentist and oral surgeon have developed a comprehensive care plan to restore her oral health. It includes tooth extraction, bone graft and ridge restoration, and implant-supported dentures. The process will take eight months and is expected to cost $75,000, which Liz cannot afford.
The past three years have seen a renaissance in Liz’s career: three Sony Music releases honoring her career, digital publication of her entire catalog of sheet music, and her return to the stage for five full-length performances including New York's Carnegie Weill Hall. Being able to share her music on stage again has been one of her best dreams come true. With your help she can be pain-free, eat healthfully, and have a full and radiant smile that will last the rest of her life. After the music she has given us, and all that she has sacrificed for others, let's help Liz get her smile back.
