Bringing Back My Smile

I’m reaching out to you today with something that’s not easy for me to talk about, but I know that if anyone will understand, it’s the people who know and care about me. My teeth have been causing me a lot of pain, both physically and emotionally. Over the years, dental problems have gotten worse, and the cost to fix them is far beyond what I can manage on my own.

I’m raising funds so I can finally get the dental work I need — not just for appearance, but for my health and quality of life. Eating has become harder, smiling has become something I avoid, and the discomfort affects me daily. Having my teeth fixed would mean more than just a new smile — it would mean feeling confident again, being able to eat without pain, and not having to hide behind my hand when I laugh.

If you know me, you know how much I love to smile and connect with others, but lately, I’ve been holding back because I feel self-conscious. This fundraiser is my way of asking for help so I can get back to being myself.

Any amount you can give will bring me closer to this goal, and even if you can’t donate, sharing this with others would mean the world to me. Your support — in any form — is deeply appreciated, and I promise that your kindness will forever be a part of my smile when I get it back.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Kia ❤️
