Presenting my very first fundraising venture (with high hopes):
My fiance Benjamin Wallace deserves your help.We have been exclusive since high school-- together for seven years. I have attached several photos of him so you can see the person while you read, not just his dental disease.
He suffers every single day with teeth that are entirely rotten, abscessed, & toxic to his entire body.
He is constantly taking heavy-duty antibiotics with terrible side effects to manage the infections from his abscessed teeth. The importance of dental hygiene was never imposed on Ben starting at infancy. He never even saw a dentist.
Now he is 24 & dealing with an issue that extends far beyond something cosmetic and causes a real health concern. Also, there is a genetic component; Ben is half Native Hawaiian and the highest rates of dental disease are found amongst Native Hawaiians & Pacific Islanders.
We were lucky to find Dr. Abbott at Midlothian Dental Arts. Dr. Abbott and her office's financial manager, Terry, have helped us arrange a sort of lay-a-way plan to fund Ben's dentures. People can make payments and partially sponsor his dental care. The rotten teeth in his top row are causing daily migraines and sinus issues. I have paid exactly $1,000 & we have given Terry permission to discuss Ben's treatment & financial progress with anyone wishing to call in & donate.
We are now only $2,785 away from extractions ($250 per tooth) and dentures. Please research Midlothian Dental Arts. You can contact Terry at their office It would make everyone's day! Please call in & ask to speak with Terry regarding Benjamin Wallace's dentures fund.
If you have ever suffered dental issues or are able to empathize with Benjamin's situation,
please take action and call Midlothian Dental Arts to donate anything to the fund.
Christmas is nearing. If you donate, please email me & I will send you a huge thank you card or find a way to express our thanks. An odd idea that some people might be into: If you pay for a tooth to be extracted ($250), email me & I will confirm it with Midlothian Dental Arts. Once the tooth is extracted, we will clean it and send it to you! Yes, you can "buy" a tooth as a reminder of your donation. Whatever, right! Gimmicky might work. Seriously, this dental disease is a daily hindrance that genuinely threatens his overall health. Midlothian Dental Arts - ~ Please ask for Terry
and tell her it is regarding Benjamin Wallace's fundraising effort.
Everyone will be over-the-moon ecstatic.
This would absolutely be one of the most generous acts you could do this season. Thank.
