hello is anyone up tonight like me....I am new and I am helpinghands. I helped others many years and now here I am. I would like to meet some of u that are out here in cyberspace needing physical things not just a pat on the back...I have that and it is great but I am so desperate and feel so guilty about it that I am all torn up. People cannot live without teeth. I am also disabled and filing with a lawyer so far nothing. Everyone seems nice but I want to help others at the same time help myself...
Thank you and I am cking into it. Several problems croping up all ready. One program 3 year waiting period. I have to keep reading,but at least it is a real place and in Austin. Thank u and I will let u know if I learn anything..God be with u...Sherl
in response to ekikaseven...First of all my kids are gifts from God to me. They are nieve about life. I gave the older ones a great life while working all the time...the last two I stayed home and that did not seem to work either. They all say nothings wrong but when it comes to mom needing them they turn blind eyes. I cried so hard over these past years that I lost 70 pounds along with the fact that I cannot eat.They are foolish and materialistic but they are mine and I love them. Sherl
I KNOW THAT THIS IS A LEAP OF FAITH,AND I AM GOING TO TAKE IT. I NEED YOUR HELP TO GET ON MY FEET TO GET MOUTH WORK DONE. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN SEE IN THE FUTURE FOR ME. EVERY DENTAL PERSON,ORGANIZATION,ETC. HAVE NO COMPASSION, AND I AM RUNNING ON EMPTY. I JUST PUT CHILD NUMBER 5 AND SHE IS MY LAST IN COLLEGE. I LIVE ALL ALONE AND NONE OF MY KIDS ARE WILLING TO HELP. I AM A GOOD PERSON WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP MYSELF,BUT THIS IS AN UPHILL CLIMB. I WANT TO TALK TO U ABOUT HELP AND IF U FEL I AM A CANDIDATE FOR UR HELP. PLEASE TALK TO ME PLEASE. SHERL
Please donate,I could get something set up where I live at a dental office or theough a city fund to send money to so u know it is legal. I need to eat. i now have lost 70 lps. since I cannot chew. I am on my last leg. If u know how I can help u from Texas let me know. I have no support system. I am all alone. My kids are grown and don't care anymore. That is a big hurt. There has to be an answer....Do people with money read this or dentists or doctors who can HELP US!!!!!!Please!!!!!, me
in response to ANS...I needed to get rid of my 1992 falling apart Grand Marquis. I heard of a program that took olfer cars in and put them down to save our air....This government offer could be where u are to. Call any government grants tnat have to do with getting rid of your car even if it does not run and thy give u 3000 to the place u get a car 1993 or older and help u find the car. All u have to do is sign a few papers,find the car they will pay for and turn ur car in and drive off in ur new car. The names of this organization is different,but ask any government place. Do not give up. I got my car on the last day!!!!I will go back thru my stuff and find a name that maybe can help. Just get started. Tell them what I told u. Alot of car dealerships know of this....I will write back with more info...This was in Austin Texas
in response to Sandav1...This is me and will be until if ever I can find help. Your letter was right on the mark. We cannot continue to let the dentists treat us as second class citizens because we do not have 50,000 to fix our mouth and that is cheap.I am so scared and sad. I want to fight for the right to decent teeth but do not know where to start. Without teeth and my diabilities I have no way to work. I am in the middle of trying for disability but that is slow also. It is seperate from teeth. I will ck. into medicaid but I do not think I can get it. I need a solution fast. What did I live for and contribute my life to others not to be able to find help for myself now. this is silly but I have not eaten a hamburger in years and I cannot eat out and LORD what if someone spoke to me?????I do not want to feel sorry for myself,I just want a solution,then I can help others. Thank u for being so kind and understanding...me
