I'm raising money for basic needs so I can remain healthy and perserve my dental health.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

I have had an urgent situation occurred here which would be considered a dental emergency. The dentist originally told me I could get an implant but I don't qualify for an implant because I have fibromyalgia and loss of bone and gum recession. I went to the dentist in Baltimore and I was told that the tooth was beyond repair so I will have to have a bridge which will be composed of filing down a tooth on either side of the hole and then putting a dummy tooth in the hole. The cost was ballparked about 3,000 to $3,500. It is necessary for me to get this dental work done as I've been told by several dentists here that the roots are infected and could go to the jaw which could be FATAL. Thank you for understanding why I had to switch my fundraising goal.

About me.

I was originally born in Alameda and I've lived all over the Bay Area my whole life I've been in San Francisco 4 almost 8 years now before that I was in Richmond California for 13 years and before that in San Francisco again for 15 years. when I was able to work and working I was working in sales for companies like MCI telecommunications Etc

My backstory.

I was engaged to a man in 2000 with whom I'd been living before that for 15 years in San Francisco. He was the first love of my life but unfortunately he was an alcoholic and he died at the age of 45 leaving me homeless and partnerless.

My goals, moving forward.

At this point my goal in life is just to try to develop as many new avenues into the community and become more educated as I possibly can perhaps taking up chess and continuing to volunteer as much as I can in the Arts and theaters in the Bay Area. I need to try to develop more friends perhaps I can meet a soulmate because at this point I'm also the victim of domestic abuse. I need to recover from this and make some more friends perhaps in the Arts community or through playing chess and get on with my life. I do love to travel particularly to countries where the cost of living is much less than it is here where I can afford to even live on rice and beans and meet interesting people that way as well. I would love to be able to see all parts of the world including India Thailand Philippines but I doubt that will happen.
