Hi everyone! My name is Rose, I'm a newly Graduated CAD Drafter in Indiana I'm trying to raise $7500 for a bone graft and extraction on 2 of my front and side teeth.

For the last few years, I've experienced what many people living in Indiana have: not having employment that comes with insurance, not being able to pay for insurance out of pocket, but also making too much money for the Indiana Health Plan. This has caused me to be unable to get dental care until recently, which has resulted in my tooth decaying to the point of infection. The infection has now spread to my jaw bone and my Insurance was used up on a root canal to try and fix the issue. It Didn't work, and now I have no dental insurance left until October 2021

Sometimes the swelling is so bad I am unable to sleep at night or am woken up because it hurts so much. With that has also come swelling in my gums that makes it difficult to speak and eat, difficult to move my head, and hard to even open my mouth. It also doesn't LOOK great, but luckily it's covered by a mask if I need to go out.

 I'm hoping to have this procedure done in the next few weeks, as prescribed pain medication and antibiotics are beginning to not be affective. The procedure in total costs around $9000, but $7500 will allow me to have the first part of the procedure done (the extraction, graft, and dental flipper. The rest of the cost is for the permanent crown, which I will be paying the remaining amount for over the course of the rest of the year. If I had any kind of savings, I would pay for this procedure out of pocket, but any savings I had has gone to staying afloat during this pandemic we are in.
