dental help

Upvotes

Hi everyone. My name is Adriana. I’m 32, a wife, a mom of six, and currently a sophomore in college in Wisconsin. Writing this is incredibly uncomfortable for me, but I’ve reached a point where I don’t know what else to do. I’m in urgent need of extensive dental care. Right now, I’m looking at potentially having most or all of my teeth extracted, depending on what a dentist determines can still be saved. After that, I’ll need some form of restoration so that I can eat normally and finally have a smile again.

I do have state insurance, and I’m grateful to have it, but getting the level of dental treatment I need in a reasonable amount of time has been extremely difficult. I also don't have thousands of dollars available to pay for this myself.

I survived sexual, physical, and emotional abuse throughout my childhood. Hygiene was sometimes used as a form of punishment and control. When I fought back or refused what my father wanted from me sexually, basic things like being able to properly clean myself could be taken away from me. I wasn't allowed to simply feel clean or pretty, and even bathing could become something he controlled. My baby teeth were already rotting before I was six .I experienced abuse from multiple people throughout my childhood until I was around 15. I survived it, grew up, got married, became a mother, and eventually did something I never imagined myself doing: I went to college. I'm 32 now, but my teeth are one physical reminder of that childhood that I've never been able to escape.

For years I've looked in the mirror and felt disgusted with myself because of them. I've hidden my smile, avoided pictures, and silently carried the embarrassment. I know logically that what happened when I was a little girl wasn't something I chose, but that doesn't make looking at the damage every day any easier.

I'm not expecting a stranger to magically pay for an entire new smile, but maybe if i could get a remote high paying position to help me get there faster..

I'm also willing to provide reasonable verification of my dental situation, treatment estimates, college enrollment, or other documentation privately if required by the subreddit/moderators. I don't want to publicly post documents containing sensitive personal information.

I don't want what happened to me as a child to keep deciding how I see myself as an adult. I just want the chance to smile without being reminded of it. Thank you for reading this far. Even being heard means a lot to me.

Literally just looking to borrow 10-20$ for gas. Until Friday morning. Anything helps. I’m going to work in about 45 minutes and that will eat up 12-15 miles of my gas. Plus the way home. I just need enough money to make it to and from work tomorrow and then I’ll be getting paid by Friday morning. I have 10$ to my name for food. I need to eat because my job is physically demanding and I need the energy.
If anyone could be so kind to help out it would be very appreciated. I only have Venmo. It’s @TopSlopp3000
If any additional info is needed just let me know.
Thankyou

Need help getting through a rough patch

6 Upvotes

Hello. This is going to be a little long but please bear with me. My partner and I have been getting put through the wringer recently and I am at the point of panic.

We have had to miss a significant amount of work due to a seemingly never ending cycle of car troubles. I'm in pretty heavy debt from 2 different CV axle failures as mentioned in a previous post in a different help sub, as well as alternator and starter replacements over the last year. I ended up taking a loan out of my pitiful 403(b) to catch up on bills. My mom has been a huge source of help in times like these in the past but she asked for a demotion at work (long story) so her money is tight now.

We've got about a day's worth of electricity left in my prepaid account (though I count myself incredibly blessed to have a prepaid electricity account as an option).

My dogs are out of kibble and we are nearing the end of the people food (not nearly as worried about people food as I am about them). My partner made them pork, lentils and wild rice for dinner out of our emergency rations last night but that only goes so far.

I missed the food pantries last week because my car was out of commission, and missed them again this week because I had to be at work during their distribution hours.

I tried to sell all of my books at a local bookstore but they would only offer store credit. I tried to sell my retro gaming stuff and I guess none of it was worth much.

I tried to sell my partners antique foreign coins from his grandfather but they don't seem to be worth much either and I don't know where to sell them that isn't online.

I can post whatever proof needed but I am hopeful that someone could maybe contribute some money to my electricity account and maybe order my dogs some food? I believe there is a way to add money straight in to my utility account without having to send it directly to myself.

Need help as a student

0 Upvotes

I’ve never really thought I’d be in a position to be writing something like this. Even if you take the time to read it and boost it’ll be appreciated. I don’t expect anything, I am however taking all of the chances that I can.

I’m a student and estranged from my family. I have been living at university for the past two years, and have subsequently kept on top of my finances. However, 3 weeks ago, my brother, who was the only one I kept in contact with had passed away, and my parents refused to help fund his funeral, which I had to do with remainders of my student finance and also savings from jobs I’ve had over the years.

I need to pay out £650 towards my rent immediately, and if I’m unable to I’ll be at a risk of losing my accommodation. I have gotten in contact with my university, but they take a while to process a payment, if it even comes to that.

I’ve been trying to keep everything together and sort things out on my own, through friends, random odd jobs and so on, however I haven’t been able to make that amount besides my deposit as well. I feel ashamed having to write this, as I’ve never thought I’d come to the terms of it.

I’m not a scammer, and I definitely would never love to be on here and ask for this favour, however if anyone at all is capable of help, and willing, it would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi my moms been in the hospital may 14th until July 10th and it’s just me, my mom, and my school aged child. I’ve mostly been able to stay afloat but her recent copays and medical expenses leave our family $1300 short for rent. I’ve exhausted other efforts ( applied and denied for loan) and spoke to my landlord about the situation hoping for an extension which was also Dennis .i received a 3 day to pay or quit and even though I’m broke , I am not eligible for financial assistance through the state bc I make “too much money “. We don’t have anyone to ask so this is my last attempt to ask the community to help us stay in our home. This is not usual; but we’ve been in just my income for 2 months and hope to pay it forward when my mom is back in her feet: thanks for the time , any donation , or share 🙏🏼

Claims to need money for rent, but also, you can see they’re pretending to be a girl, when they’re a dude.

Just lost

0 Upvotes

Hello. I am just lost. I am a BA graduate who realized my degree is worthless. I started doing AI training because the pay was unbelievable. Now, AI companies don't need me anymore as the work I used to do has kind of become extinct (AI safety expert). I never networked on LinkedIn because never needed it, have 7 connections on LinkedIn. Don't use SM, have no friends, introvert, and hence very uncomfortable socializing. Lost job, been sitting for 8 months now. Drained all my savings, and barely have 10 days worth of money for sustenance. I just don't know what to do.

Is there a community or subreddit where people want to volunteer as a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen?

My psychiatrist isn't available until September, so for now, things are NOT going well. I don't want other doctors because he's the only one that I can trust and is able to give me really good advice.

So I'm wondering, are there people in the internet who wants to talk to people with problems free of charge? It's not that I need real psychiatric help, I just want an ear to listen to me.

Hi everyone.

Our Birthday TNVR mission for the community cats of Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines is only 3 days away.

We are still raising funds to help as many community cats as possible receive spay/neuter surgery.

Every donation goes directly toward TNVR and veterinary care. If we raise more, we can help more cats.

If donating isn't possible, sharing this post is already a huge help.

Thank you for supporting community cats. ❤️🐾

If it helps, I am verified in our local sub r/catsofrph and r/OnlyPusa

Update to follow once the event is done.

To the mods, if this is not allowed here. Please inform me. I'll delete it.

Shooting My Shot Part 2

Hello everyone, I'm going to attempt this again but way better. I didn't really do it right the first time. Long story short I fell in mid April, got hurt really bad, got fired for not being able to walk. Got behind on bills obviously. I'm better now and am working again. I attempted to use the links that were sent to me in the last post but the only one that helped was 211 (shout out to user who sent that comment ♥️) I am asking today for things I need for my home today. I have absolutely no idea how to make a Amazon wishlist (my daughter laughed at me, then realized she didn't know either 😂) but I think I did it right after much fighting. My turtle's basking light broke, I am down to my last roll of toilet paper and dumb stuff that just adds up. Any help would be very appreciated by me ♥️ Ty for reading, here's my pet tax ☺️

I don't really know how to do this.. I've never been in this predicament before asking strangers for help. So thank you for reading .

My truck's transmission decided to stop working a few days ago. It was a sensor issue that turned into many parts that needing to be replaced. . I have most of the money saved up however I am $40 short to replace what's left. I have a friend willing to work on it for me if I have the parts. I can't afford to lose my job by not having a vehicle. Anything will help..thank you

Edit to add * I have venmo and cash app. I can also pay back by Friday it that helps
