Wanna help me do something good?
So I have 17,000 followers. I'm calling on you guys to help me do something good. My moms friend lives below the poverty line. She has two disabled children and is currently going through A LOT. I don't want to give too many identifiers as she does not know I am asking this of you.
I need help to help her. She has lost almost all her teeth. She can't eat, she could talk, but this weekend she lost one of her two front teeth that were left. She cannot afford the $5,000 needed to rip out the few teeth left and get dentures. (She's an amazing pianist, and she was playing for my mom ((who was singing)) they were taping music down and her tooth fell out while ripping tape. The wedding was a family wedding, so she knew most of the people there and was mortified. My brothers and I did what we could to keep her from crumbling on the ground in embarrassment. 😣 she works in a high school, we all know how kids can be. I'm worried for her starting the new school year.)
I'm not asking for money. I'm asking for help in finding a program or grant that I can apply to on her behalf (or have her do it if necessary.) She deserves her confidence, her health, and to be happy. She is one of the most giving people i know, yet she has nothing but her kids.
Some necessary facts:
-We live in Central NY
-She has little to no income, she would need it completely paid for. Including travel, however if we get to that point we could probably crowd fund for travel costs.
-While she has had some pretty horrible things happen to her, she was not directly a victim of domestic violence. There was a situation that put her then husband in jail but the act of violence was not against her. Her teeth issues are genetic.
-I would prefer for the bulk of any work of applying to through me as she is currently working on coordinating surgery and care for her youngest.
Please help me. Please help her. She was a rock for me and my family when my dad died, ghere hasnt been a part of my live where she wasnt a major player. If I had the $5,000 I would give it to her right now.
I looked and as far as I did I could only find programs in California. NYS doesnt seem to have much...but I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place.
If you can help me find any programs at all, people to call, grants to apply to, anything. I would appreciate it. You can DM me or reblog and post. Ill be watching this closely.
Thank you.
