Oh my god, I am so happy that I found this website. Thank you that I can post this here for free !!!!!!

Ok .. here's my story :( I am in urgent need of a dental treatment but my financial situation does not allow it. I went to a dentist for a consultation and he was really shocked when he saw me considering my age and the condition of my teeth. He said I have broken teeth, cavities, infections, problems with my jaw (jaws are about to brake apart .. that's how it sounds like when I open my mouth .. *crack* .. ewwww). I can not eat and bite/chew without pain. I am in very strong pain EVERY SINGLE DAY :((((((((. I haven't been to dentist for 2 years because I have had no insurance. I have no current solution for my problem so I thought maybe there are a view kind people out there who can help me. I am a female and only 24 years old but my teeth are a mess :(((( The dentist said if I don't do anything about it I will loose all my teeth in a very young age :(((((( ! I am not even able to smile at all. I am completely inconfident and I am in a depression :(((( I FINALLY HAVE medical insurance but in order to get my teeth fixed I still need to come up with 3000 Dollars (!!!) which I can not afford at all. To fix my two broken teeth: USD 660 USD EACH (crowns, root canal, etc.) and USD 1500 for braces to get my teeth back in order and prevent teeth/jaws from breaking. TOTAL USD 2820. Is there a kind doctor who is willing to do voluntary work? Or are there non-profit organisations? If you happen to read this posting and you would like to help me with a dollar or so then I would really appreciate it. You can send it to daniela_paypal@yahoo.com. I will send a picture with me and my dentist after and/or before treatment on it to EVERYONE who donates a little (or more) to me once I've got USD 3000 together to start. I'll think about something nice to thank everyone who is willing to help me such as a "thank you" posting at Ebay where millions of people can read it. I'm feeling embarassed posting this but I just can't deal with this pain anymore. Thanks for your time reading my message.

I am a work-from-home mom of three, including one child with special needs. Thanks to early diagnosis and lots and lots of therapy she is doing incredibly well, keeping up with her twin brother and giving big brother a run for his money. After dealing with insurance companies for her care and treatment I realized what a horrible healthcare crisis this country is in.  Now I work with Ameriplan, an alternative and/or supplement to traditional insurance. I help people save money on healthcare, and I also help people escape the rat race and work from home.

I am a disabled vietnam era veteran. About two years ago I suffered two strokes and saw first hand the obstacles that people and families in need go thru when they are struck with an unforeseen incident. The world can turn into a cruel and cold and lonely place. It seems that the only visitors that approach you are people that want to take their pound of flesh. All the collectors come to collect their debts and there is no way of holding them off. Sometimes families are forced to make harsh and rash decisions just in order to survive the tradegy.

I do not want anyone to feel the way that I did when I had my strokes. Dealing with the feeling of complete loss and disarry of your life only compounds itself on your situation. It harms both you and the family around you in so many ways. The emotional, physical and financial strain can become unbearable. Along with the illness and long sleepless nights you are also plagued with the ever approaching feeling of doom. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SURVIVE!!!

I was able to first hand experience this and to speak with others that have gone through these incidents also. There are a few basic needs that must be met in order to get through this crisis safely and remain in a stable environment.

Basic needs include but are certainly NOT limited to:

Food / Shelter / Medical Care

Knowing that someone cares and that there are people who can or want to help, makes a big difference in bridging the gap to becoming healthy and viable again.

What I have decided to do and wish to attempt to pass on to people are both the basic needs and the knowledge that there are others that care and sympathize with people in need.

I hope to help bridge the gap between the needs and the needy!

I am starting a non-profit organization to help veterans and their families cope with the difficult and rocky time between receiving either their benfits or their pension. I wish to exted this service also to the homeless in need.  

I need help to get this venture started. Any help from you would help out the cause greatly!!!  One of the things that we need too do is purchase wholesale/discount/surplus items to raise  funds for the cause.  
  We can't do this without you and there are people waiting to be helped. Please help us bridge the gap between the needed and needy.

I want to be an organization that ACTUALLY helps, not just a name that people are turned away from when they are in need.

The Person:
I'm not really sure what to put here. I guess, well, I should start by saying I'm a young 22 year old. I grew up with next to nothing, but I had a wonderful mother who loved her children enough to raise them right. I'm thankful for all of the things God has given me in life and I always hope for the best in situations. I'm loyal, caring, and honest. I'm not really a typical 22 year old. Most of my life is spent working, trying to pay the bills, and worrying about my hubby who is in the army. If I ever get any free time, I like to spend it reading a book or playing a video game. I also enjoy anime and roleplaying games. My second job is working for the local video game store. It would be my dream job, if only it paid more than minimum wage! I  guess you could say I was pretty nerdy! But I'm proud of who I am. A lot of people tell me I don't look like the type that would be into all of those things, but I assure you, I'm a legitimate dork.
I look forward to meeting others who have similar interest. I do not judge, as I do not like to be judged. I accept everyone. I hope others will accept me.

The Problem:
As far as my situation, as I've stated before I've been having a rough time keeping up with the bills due to my man being gone. I've got a 14,000 dollar loan which needs to be paid back and money has just been really tight since he left. I'm not asking for someone to pay the loan for me, but I am asking for a little help....Donations in any amount. I realize that's a lot to ask since it isn't easy to trust people, especially people online, these days. I figured I would try anyway and hope that there are people out there generous and caring enough to help, as I would do for someone in need. If you can help me, feel free to message me (or even if you would just like to talk and be friends!).

I've got a donation bin set up on paypal at the moment, and my email address is a confirmed one for anyone thinking I'm trying to scam someone out of money. I'm not. If you'd like to make a donation, my e-mail on paypal is ami_nugent@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help or with advice!

For Others:
For those seeking money themselves. I haven't had much luck with this, but there is a website that will pay you .02 to just read advertisements online. This can be a lengthy and tedious project (one I don't particularly have time for, since I work), but it may help someone who's looking to make a little extra pocket change or something. Like I said, I haven't had luck... but for anyone who is maybe paralyzed or has the free time, it could help slightly.

For those who need help with prescriptions. There is a wonderful site that offers 3-month supplies of (mostly generic) common presciptions for costs as low as 20 dollars, up to $40. It does ask that you meet the criteria for the program (information about that is on the website). This has been great for my "controlled substance" medications in the past. No tax forms are required and the application is very simple and straight-forward.

Looking for free stuff?? Try craigslist in your state. You can find lots of helpful stuff here. From free items, to trade/barter, and employment. It's a very useful tool.

Though I am unable to give out money currently, I would love to help others in any way I can. If you need someone to talk to, advice, a friend. I'd love to donate clothing and other items to families in need. I've done the "Goodwill" thing before, but I always had an issue with donating my stuff to a company which profits from it! I would rather know that my items are going to someone who truly needs it, who doesn't have to pay. Not that Goodwill is a bad thing, I would just rather help an individual rather than a corperation.

I am a dental hygienist practicing in NC. Additionally, I have a heart for those in need of dental care, so therefore, spend a great deal of time in volunteer work and research and development of dental access clinics. My goals are to make a significant impact in the access to dental care disparities through providing care, coaching private practice offices and educating the public. Though I can not provide a substitute for the dentist (regular care is necessary), I would be glad to answer questions or help those in need of care find the care they need.

I am a mother of a 2 year old son.  My husband and I try very hard to make a home for our family.  He lost his job the day after Christmas and has had trouble finding another one.  I have picked up some contract work, and am now working two contract jobs in addition to my full time job.  I was diagnosed 2 years go with multiple sclerosis, so the extra work is not an easy task.

Anyway, we got behind one month on our house payment and have been unable to catch up.  Our bank is demanding two months (the behind month plus this month) payment within 48 hours.  I don't have it and don't know what to do.

Hey  !! My name is Crystal Coleman I am 20 yrs old and I have two twin boys that are Five months old and their names are Trevor & Leland . They are my Life. . To start off. Evey since I was little I was always in a family that did drugs and stayed in trouble I never knew my mom very well because she was in and out of jail, and I finally met my real dad when I turned 18YRS.I grew up with two brothers one is in jail now and has been in jail since he was 16. My little brother in in high school now and it is his senior year. When i was little i was sexual molested by my Uncle.. I felt that i could not tell anyone but when i did i told my Grandparents because they were the one we called mom and dad . When i told them they didnt belive me so the sent me off to live with my aunt here in Texas.. When i moved here i was treated like crap i had to go to school, cook dinner , wash dishes , wash clothes, clean my aunts room and rub her feet in the middle of a a school night . Her thought on school was that it came after what she wanted me to do for her! I belived in school first .. Anyways I finally ran away from her house at the age of 17 , from their i lived from house to house, and went to school. Thats when i met my husband , I fell in love i thought he was the real thing so we got married Oct 28, 2006 , but little did i know that when I said i do i would be put threw Physicaly and Emotional abuse. ( I got married at 18) I just put up with the abuse because i had no family to run to ... When i got married i was still in High School my husband didnt want me to go to school because he thought i would flirt with the boys , and he didnt want me to go on any school trips for all the same reasons.. Well thats when it all strarted the first time he just punched me in the face once and called me many names but I belived that he loved me so I didnt want to leave him.. But i did and when I had no were to turn to or no one to turn to I went back to him ... and the abuse got worse i had just had my gawbladder taken out when he decided to beat me the second time i was on the couch he decided that he wanted me to go to bed with him and i told him i was not ready for bed that i would be in the room in a min , well he didnt like that he followed me to the bath room and beat me in the shower , when he was beating me I went into an asthma attack and and refused to give me my medication. I left him that time for the second time. But as you might know already i went back because i felt in love and i felt that I couldn't live with out him. The third time he beat me he stopped in the middle of the high way and was yelling at me i told him to get out and let me drive because he was driving crazy because a EMS worker waved at me , when he got out of his little blue GMC truck i slidded over to the drivers side and as i was reaching for the door my husband grabed the door and slamed my head and arm in it many times and left me on the side of the road . This time i was determined i was not going back to him my aunt let me move in and while i was at school she also let him move in felt traped so i was with him again.. The Last time he beat me i was pregnate My friend was going to throw a graduation party for me because i had grauated well i was maken glasses for my party that said Senior Class Of 2007 and in the middle of maken a glass my husband asked me a question I didnt understand him so i asked him what he said and he started beating me, little did i know i was pregnant he held me in a conner and beat me and when i tryied to call the cops he took the phone and beat me more and the tore the house phone out of the wall and called his step mom and told her not to let me use the phone... I got out and when i did i went to the hospital and i found out i was pregnant 2 weeks later i was so excited but when i went to the hospital i found out that i was suspost to have triplets but when my husband beat me i lost a child. I was so upset with him, i couldnt figure out why he would beat me so much and just think everything was ok. I stayed away from my husband for 4 months and then i decided i was going to give him one more chance and this time it was not for me it was for the kids.. Well i didnt go threw physical abuse this time it was all emotional abuse this last time and i ended up having my babys earily because of all of stress and stuff he made me do , When i had the kids i thought it would change my kids lived in the hospital for 35 days after they were born i never got to touch my babys when they were born just a little while after they were in the hospital. They had so many cords on them because i had them 2 months earily. I went everyday to see my babys and my husband started getting jelious so i told him he better fix his act because if he didnt that the kids and i was leavin because we didnt have to put up with his crap. When the babys got out it was getting worse he didnt want me to have anything to do with my kids, and remember me telling you that my kids are my world well my kids gave me the strength to leave him for good , I went to a Family Abuse Center for a week now im living with a friend and i am getting a divorce. Every now and then I think mabey I should just go back because it might be easyier to just live with him because I have no car , no money and no house, but you know what  I refuse to go back to him when im breaking down and thinking about going back I listen to music . I Call this a Lesson Learned, and hold my two wonderful boys . Because it was a lesson Learned . I learned the hard way , but alway turn to god even when no one eles is their he is!! God knows what i went threw and he will take care of it at the end!!

Hello I was born with only 6 adult teeth on the bottom.  The six front teeth on the bottom are all baby teeth.  I am thirty years old and I have recently lost the first one however another is now loose.  This has always made me very self concious because they very much look like baby teeth.  It makes it hard to chew and bite things off.  Several dentist have told me the only real good way to fix them is by getting tooth implants.  They all said that due to it being such a large gap that a bridge or a partial would eventialy damage and potentialy ruin the good teeth I have down there.  I don't want to ruin the good teeth I have, because even on the top I was not born with a full set of adult teeth.  The problem is the high cost of this. If any one out there could help me that would be so awesome.  Bless you.

Hi, I am writing this in an effort to get any assistance for several problems. I desparately need dental help for what appears to be some type of neuropathy. I have several current medical problems, and was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2005. I developed spinal related problems at the same time, and in a one year period went through 30 rounds of radiation, two surgeries regarding the spinal fluid issues, and an internal inplant hospitalization. Additionally, I was hospitalized for coming close to a stroke, and recently went through emergency three weeks ago for excruciating head pain. An MRI now indicates a return of spinal fluid problems, and I await to see a neurologist. All of this can be documented and verified. Meanwhile my gums, and head feel like its being jolted with electricity.


Well, you know how life goes. We all experience trials. "The enemy will come in like a flood, but the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him"(Isaiah 59:19). My hope ultimately resides in Him, but I thought---why not give this a shot anyway? I have nothing to lose by doing so.


I have developed excruciating pain over and throughtout my body, and find it very difficult to function in all of this. Doctors may be considering placing a shunt in my head, and I do NOT want this! Shunts can be problematic! I am on disability, and its my desire to be able to return to work again and live a normal life again. And to top the sundae off,  my car has begun to have problems with the heat/air, but more importantly---the defroster! Its humid in these parts!!! And I literally cannot drive it at times for that reason.


If anyone feels compelled to help, please contact me. I am placing my hope in God to turn this around, and I believe He will turn it around eventually. Sometimes He uses people to help others. Any help, no matter how small is appreciated.

I am 23 years old and am having terrible pain because of my teeth.  They are so bad I haven't been able to work and I have no insurance.  Please email me at Marhel3@yahoo.com if you can help.

Dental Work
I'm considering pulling my teeth with pliers if I don't get them out soon.  I'm losing sleep nightly, dropping weight steadily and constantly dealing with some amount of pain.  Sometimes, it makes my temples throb so intensly that I tear up.  I'm missing half of about 6 teeth and it seems to be getting worse.  I don't know what to do.  I take care of a friend with M.D. and he can only afford to pay me $120 a week.  I could pay $60 of that $120 towards dental bills.  At this point, there isn't much that I wouldn't do to make them stop.
Single mother of 10 year old adopted girl needs MAJOR DENTAL WORK!

Hello. My name is Melissa Saavedra. I am a 38 year old single mother of a 10 year old adopted girl. I have just about hit rock bottom and my last resort is asking for help! I adopted my daughter at the age of 11 months and decided that I would be everything that my mom never was to me. I decided to watch the children of my family and friends so that I could stay home and raise my daughter in ways that I never had growing up. Well doing this left us with no health insurance. Everything that I have had over the years always went to my little girl. We always seem to be dealt the bad hand. My life in a short version goes like this. I got married at 18 and 5 years after my husband left me because I have fertility problems. The only way that I can ever have a child of my own is to have fertility treatments. So that left me single and alone. Several years after that I turned my daughters misfortune into my dream of being a mom. I am doing my best to raise my daughter the best way that I know how. For the last 5 years my daughter has been having issues with ADHD. We have taken many avenues and still are trying to find the best way to deal with her problems. Then over the past few years I have lost so many important people in my life. Some died at such early ages. My dad,both grandmas, brother, sister,and step mother all died within a few years of eachother. After dealing with all that I mentioned as well as being over weight all of my life, I hit rock bottom. I felt that the only thing that I had left was my daughter. Well now I would like to turn my life around. I will always take care of my little girl but now its time for me. I want to re enter the work force and start anew! I am asking for someone to help myself as well as my daughter to fix our teeth. My daughter is 10 and has never been to the dentist before because we cant afford it. My teeth are horrible. I have dealt with severe pain and swelling of the face and neck for years due to rotting teeth. I will give anything in the world to have someone help me get implants! I am asking for minor dental work for my daughter and major dental work for me. I think that after a life full of disappointment that I deserve this to start my life over at the age of 38. If anyone can help us please contact me at Lissa6963@aol.com.. Thank you so much!

hi, my name is elicia. i just turned thirty-five in april.in 1987, i was bitten by a misquito; which almost killed me. i had gotten menengitis from the bite; which got worse and developed to menengil encephilitis.due to the trauma, i became completely blind and paralized from the waist down. i spent some time in the hospital, even spent my sophmore year of high school at home; but was fortunate enough to get most of my sight back and my paralysis disapeared. in 1992; i developed some complications. i began to have periods of complete blindness and incredibly severe headaches. we dicovered that i had extremely high inner cranial pressure. i was placed with a shunt, which seemed to help; though i continued to have occasional headaches. in 1997, i had gotten pregnant. i ran a fever over 103 the entire time, had severe cramping and bleeding; along with other problems. i had to have a d & c. after this, i decided i did not want to go through anything like this again, so, i had a tubal ligation. unfortunately, my doctor felt it would be a learning experience, for the students to see my shunt. the doc had pulled the tubing out of the abdomen, through one of the laproscopic holes. he was unaware that my neurosurgeon had left metal connectors in , to help hold it in place, since my first one had slipped down. well, the connectors were pulled through my bowel, bladder and spleen. i was left with an open abdomenal wound that was 22" long. when it healed, i needed hernia repair. mesh was placed. infection caused the abdomen to reopen, and ate up part of the mesh. the infection is antibiotic resistant; so, i have had at least twenty open wounds varying from small to exttremely large; countless hospital stays and forty-two surgeries; plus we are still struggling with my hernia, which is incredibly large.

   anyway, i had to get tenncare, since i am uninsurable. they cut everyone's medicines that they'll cover , down to five. i was on sixteen at the time. i now buy five of the cheaper ones, and tenncare pays for five of the expensive ones; the rest have been cut out. i am on s.s.i.; so once i pay all my bills and get my meds i am left with practically nothing. so, i have been unable to afford a dentist. plus, for the past three years, i have been going to a pain center. one of the pills is too large for me to swallow. so, i have been chewing them up; and just found out it eats up your teeth. i kept trying to figure out why i had so many teeth needing work; when my teeth have done so well in the past. plus, for four years, i drank nothing but bottled water and tea. so, i lost fluoride without thinking about it, and i ws no longer getting calcium from milk.

My husband needs a lot of dental work done - he is only 31 and will probably end up without any teeth at all within a year.  He never smiles outside of the house and is extremely self-conscious because all his front teeth are rotting and broken.  We have three children and our oldest son (5 years old) asked me why daddy never smiles at church when everyone else does.  It is breaking my heart that he struggles with this every single day.  He has an ok job and even dental insurance, but we can't afford the 60% that insurance won't cover.  I'm working too - at night - to cut out daycare costs, but we just barely make it each month.  He was recently up for a promotion at work that I think he didn't get because of his appearance - just his teeth.  Can anyone out there help us?
