Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a bind and need some help financially with some huge dental bills, and I've exhausted any means I could to try to deal with this issue over the last year. I've had to resort to doing an indiegogo campaign to try to raise the funds, but before I post the link here asking for donations and the like I'd like to know if that would be allowed or if it'd be considered spamming or against forum rules?

I do need the help, but I also don't want to get banned. If it's okay I'll come back and post the link.

hi, tamara, over the last year I have indeed tried those options, my dentist has set it up so that its over a period of 6 visits, but I still have trouble coming up with the funds for each visit, I attempted the social services drug and dental card twice but was denied, and the 3 universities and colleges in my area that I have access too have a 3 year waiting period for reduced price dental help, sure it'd cost me 80dollars a tooth, but they only do extractions, and I don't want to wait 3 years and then have all my teeth removed to have to pay for full dentures which would only cost me more. I'm not even 30 years old yet, I don't want dentures...

I applied for a dental health credit card but it seems ive been turned down for that too. Believe me, had I've tried everything numerous times over the last year to come up with the funds to take care of my teeth. It's embarrassing having to crowd fund dental surgery... I'm a leo, I have my pride. But this teeth problem bloody well hurts!

Hi LeonianGuitar, it looks like you have considered and acted on every other avaiable option.
I wish you every success with your campaign. 🙂

Don't be embarrassed! EVERYONE needs some form of support, from others, at one point in their life.

Shine on leo!

I do try.. though so far I've only managed to get $ 85 for my campagin. See what happens. I'm hoping i can raise at least enough to get one part of the surgery done.
