Help a disabled nonbinary person pay to fix his tooth.
Hi, my name is Plum, and I'm a transgender disabled person living off of SSI. Over the past week(?) I have developed an incredibly painful abcess in one of my molars that I will be getting a root canal and crown to fix- this is medically necessary, and I cannot put it off to save money unless I want to risk an infection. I have medicaid insurance by being on SSI, but this is not going to cover the treatment I need. I have tried so, so hard to find a place that'll accept my insurance for the treatment, but the only other practice that was willing to look at me severely underestimated both my pain and the seriousness of what I'm dealing with, and sent me home while dismissing my concerns. I do not feel safe returning to this practice for care.
I'm planning on sacrificing most of my paycheck this upcoming month (which, for the sake of transparency, will be somewhere in the ballpark of 600 dollars after rent and phone) to pay the costs as swiftly as possible so as not to accrue debt and interest I will be unable to pay back, but the cost is going to be around double what I earn between needing to pay rent and my phone bill, likely coming in around $2,000 US dollars. I believe I will be able to get some minor help from family and close friends, so between that and what I already get paid, I have set a ko-fi goal for $1,000 USD as a broad attempt to cover the rest. I will be updating the goal as needed for the sake of transparency and as costs are fully decided.
my ko-fi is here!
