My boyfriend and I have been together almost 7 years. We are both responsible and work full time sans health insurance. A couple of years ago I found out that I had a cancerous tumour and had to have 3 surgeries back to back to remove the mass. This threw us for a loop both emotionally and financially. Luckily I qualified to have a percentage of the costs taken care of by the hospital where I was treated due to our situation. The fees were still signifigant, but a fraction of what they would have been if I had not recieved any aid whatsoever. We are still paying the remainder off. Regardless, I feel lucky to be alive and grateful I did not have to file bankruptcy.

The reason I am writing this is not because of my cancer bills however, it is because my boyfriend desperatley needs some extensive dental work and we are unable to squeeze the cost out of our already incredibly tight budget. His teeth were getting really bad again prior to my surgery even though we had just had them reconstructed to the best of his dentists ability less than two years before. He has taken care of his teeth, but has a genetic predisposition for weak enamel. His father had dentures before he turned 30 and unfortunatley it looks like he is in the same boat. I am tired of watching him suffer just because we have no insurance and currently cannot afford it. I have resorted to selling the last few things I have left of value in order to raise money for his dental procedures. I have a gorgeous antique Decker Bros piano if anyone is interested. I am also going to be auctioning off some things on ebay as well and will post a link here when I get them up.

We are both the type of people who normally take pride in the fact that we are self reliant. The estimate on his uppers was roughly $3000 dollars. I would never expect anyone out there to just give us this kind of money outright. What I am asking is for possible leads to affordable dentists and perhaps to find someone who may be interested in the piano. This would at least give us a head start on getting this taken care of. If you feel compelled to make a donation of any amount we would be beyond greatful. Also, if you would like to commission a drawing or a painting I would be happy to do that as well. We don't live an extravagant lifestyle by any means. We work hard and neither of us has had a vacation in over 3 years (Unless you count the 3 months I was out of work recovering from surgery a "vacation" LOL) Our families are unable to help us financially. My mother is disabled and his father is struggling to support his family. We are in this together.

Any leads would be greatly appriciated. If you would like more information about us and our situation please message me as I am a bit wary of posting too much personal info publicly.

Thanks in advance!
