Hi friends, family, and kind strangers,
I’m reaching out today with a lot of humility and hope. Over the past several months, I’ve been struggling with increasing jaw pain due to joint erosion. After seeing specialists, I’ve learned that I need a custom jaw brace to help manage the pain and prevent further damage. It’s not just uncomfortable — it affects my ability to eat, sleep, and speak without pain. Unfortunately, the cost of the brace is more than I can manage on my own right now.
At the same time, I’m also facing another obstacle: my car’s windshield is cracked and needs replacing. It’s becoming a safety concern, and I rely on my car daily for appointments, errands, and simply staying connected to the world. Fixing it is urgent, but again, finances are stretched thin.
So I’m turning to this community for help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to being able to breathe a little easier — both literally and figuratively. If you’re not in a place to give, sharing this page would mean the world to me.
I’m incredibly grateful for any support — whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or simply taking the time to read my story. Thank you for being here and for caring.
With love and appreciation,
Ivory
