While coaching our church league softball team during a game, I took a pretty tough hit to the face. I experienced three broken teeth, three loose bottom teeth, and a fractured septum! Thankfully, the septum is not separating, so no surgery for the nose! I had two other fractures that also will heal on their own! WOOOHOO! Praise the Lord!!!

Unfortunately, I am in an extremely large amount of pain, and eating only soft foods/liquids until I am able to recieve further medical intervention.

After seeing one specialist for my mouth, and being referred to a face and jaw surgery center, I have been quoted over $75,000 to have my smile back. We are hoping to raise enough to put a small dent in this so we can at least get the surgeries started.

I am working with insurance, but we are having little luck with them paying much! I am the sole income earner for our house of 7, so paying this much is not in the cards for us at this time.

My situation could have been far worse, and others face far more than I could even compare. I ask that you pray for guidance and should the Lord encourage you to give, please do so, and know I am forever grateful. If you can't give at this time, please pray for financial blessings to allow for these surgeries to happen.

My goals here:

1. Pain to stop

2. Have my smile back

We give God all the Glory and praise His name in this for we know the victory is ours and that he has gone before us.
