Help abuse victim get a new smile

Ellie - not my real name, I featured in a stuff article last year regarding having my teeth broken after being subjected to abuse at the hands of my ex partner. After leaving the abusive relationship, I was left with life long injuries and a mouth full of broken teeth that has led to dozens of hospitalisations, septic arthritis, seizures from infections spreading to my brain, endocarditis, heart issues and have been septic a number of times. I have been turned away from several dental charities because the work is too extensive.

I am raising a child on my own with no support and lost my job due to the health complications caused by reoccurring dental infections. As each year goes by, my teeth deteriorate more and more and the cost to repair them becomes much higher. And the pain from infections is excruciating. I had to DIY my own dentures to try hide my broken teeth but they're falling apart and don't address the underlying infections that has caused so much damage to my body.

As 2025 approaches I'm facing yet another year of having to live like this and more damage being done to my body from the ongoing infections. I'm facing another Christmas where due to the very little money I do have, has to go on medical expenses from frequent doctors appointments to get more antibiotics that have become less and less effective and unable to provide my child with what a Christmas should be.
