So it’s time to share an update on all the kindness shown to me with my teeth fundraiser. ❤️

Nostr raised a little over $2300 towards my teeth in about 48 hours. I spent most of the first day in a mixture of shock and tears over all the very concrete love and help offered by people online.

This is enough money that I may be able to get the worst parts of my mouth done first, which would end the cycle of infection. It also greatly reduces the amount of debt and expense that will be put on my family to get this done, and will be the beginning of the end of 20 years of pain and embarrassment.

I cannot thank the people who pitched in enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart though. Nostr revives my faith in the goodness of people so often. This is truly a special place.

In my own style of weird, I am naming some of my extractions after some of the people who pitched in. They can opt to get pictures of their tooth after they are pulled. 🤣

I will post regular updates as treatment progresses.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just here to point out that you wouldn't have this problem if your country had a proper health care and health insurance system. The easiest way to see, someone is living in a third world country is in their teeth. Anyway, I'm glad you can finally move on and fix your teeth! #FuckUSA
