Hello
I am Single currently on Sickness Benefit for the last for 4 years due to back problems, which I am currently still receiving treatment for.
Due to high dosage of Pain Medication, my teeth have deteriorated and I have lost all my front teeth accept for 3, shown in picture. I have had private treatment in which I am still paying off Work Income for.
Due to financial difficulties, I have had to return the Hospital Dental with my Community Card & Doctor referral. Sadly the Hospital Dental has had their funding has tighten and can only offer Teeth Removal. My current visit with them has left me, feeling pressured, unsupported and embarrassed
I have exhausted all my options I can’t afford to loose any more teeth, as I am struggling to eat without them.
Most of my Work & Income goes to paying my rent per week.
Also I owe Work & Income Thousands of dollars in debt, I cannot afford anymore advancements and repayments.
The debt I owe them is overwhelming & is now having an emotional burden on me, since my current situation with my Teeth.
I know there maybe many like me, with simila in a situation. So I have set up support email, to encourage others to share their Story.
If you can help me received the Dental Care I need, your donation, will be much we’ll be much appreciated😀
Funds will be used to get treatment for restoration of teeth and Plate denture, so I can eat food normally and smile again with confidence🤩
