For about the last 3 years, I have been living without my upper teeth. After that length of time I am finally on the verge of getting implants, so I can eat, talk normally, and feel myself again. This will cost me about $10k. Up until the last few months, I'd had the money tucked away in my savings, waiting.

However, I had to replace my car about 3 months ago, and due to my credit rating I had to put a $5000 down payment to be approved. Naturally, that took a serious bite from my savings. Since then other bills, grocery needs, and other family needs have chopped down the remainder to almost nothing. Now my work has been cutting back hours because we havent been getting as many orders (manuufacturing job) and I'm down to a 32 hour week. Which isn't helpful at all.

Now, I am scheduled for the final scan before the implants for September 6th, and have nowhere near what I need for this any longer. It's been 3 years, I can't put this off any longer.

So I'm doing the one thing I absolutely hate doing, but I need help. I know I'm in no position to ask for donations, but I have no other options.

Family can't help. Credit following car loan won't let me get approved, and even if they wanted to, I can't use my new car as collateral because it is my family's only car. Too risky.

So if anyone can help, even a little, it will be greatly appreciated. And I will try and do whatever I can to repay the kindness in the future.

PayPal is trio.maxwell85[at]gmail.com if anyone can help.

I'm sorry to post this, but I'm not sure what else I can do.

Thanks.
