My name is Rebecca. I am a 22 year old wife, and mother of a beautiful 18 month old baby girl.

This past November, my daughter headbutted me, breaking my front tooth completely in half. It has since broken more and more, it is almost completely gone.

I have lost my confidence, my self esteem, and most importantly, my beautiful smile.

I was denied a new tooth by my insurance company, because it is cosmetic. But for me, it is so much more.

I am a waitress. My personality, my conversation, and my smile, are how I provide for my family. It saddens me that I have to try and hide my teeth when talking to people. I never feel comfortable in photos anymore. I have even had customers complain that people shouldnt have to "look at that while they are trying to eat."

I know it sounds like silly wish, what with all the people on this site who truly need for rent money, and food, and other things, that are so important. And I understand. I know how it feels to need for all of those things, believe me.

$600 is what it will cost to fix my tooth, out of pocket.
As a struggling young family, we barely have an extra $60, much less $600.

Please, if you can do anything at all, help me smile again.

Thank you.
