Bring Back Yia’s Smile: Donate for Dental Treatment

Hi, my name is Yia. For many years, I’ve lived my life as an addict. Life was not the easiest, and like many others, I turned to drugs. I excluded myself from family gatherings and from seeing anyone that might find me “different.” As time passed, the more I stopped moving with the world, and I forgot all about self-care and love. By the time I realized it, I had lost most of my teeth. Even going through treatment was rough because I felt ashamed. I wished I had taken better care of myself. Now, I find myself truly hiding from the world, avoiding friendly conversations, afraid to smile or laugh. I have forgotten the true joy of laughter and wished for the day I can just walk up to someone, greet them, and not worry about my horrible smile. Even being at a job was a horrible experience. I’m still currently going through outpatient treatment. I don’t have any kind of insurance. I’m reaching out to anyone that would be kind enough to help me gain my smile back. If you find yourself here reading this, I appreciate your time, and I thank you for any donations that you might be able to contribute. May good health always shine upon you.
