Oya! Ji'ana here...
I’m sending this June update a day late, on July 1, and wanted to speak to you directly. Donations have stalled this month, and I’m still in need of funds to finish the dental work so I don’t slide backward after everything that’s already been done.
My bone grafts and infection treatment were huge steps forward, and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped me get this far. But without the remaining procedures, there’s a real risk things will start to get worse again instead of better, and that’s a very heavy feeling to carry day after day.
To move ahead with the 2 root canals, new crowns, and the re‑alignment treatment that protects all the work we’ve already done, I still need a little over $6,000 beyond what’s in the fund right now. Every bit of support helps keep me from losing the progress you’ve already given me.
If you’d like to help, you can click here to donate to my fundraiser.
As we head into the holiday, I want to wish everyone in the USA a happy and safe Fourth of July. I’m deeply thankful to live in a country where we have the freedom to reach out, ask for help, and come together to support one another when life gets hard. Your kindness and the freedom we enjoy here truly mean the world to me.
Ji'ana and HK
