Name
Silvia Galan
Injury/Illness
Osteoporosis
My name is Silvia Galan, I am 65 years old on disability due to severe back pain, RA, Trigeminal Neuralgia and Osteoporosis, Osteopenia. My bones are very frail and due to that my teeth have been breaking and need a lot of dental work; which I cannot afford. I qualified for a grant that covers approximately 40% of the dental work, but the rest it’s not covered, I do have dental insurance but covers to a max of $2,000.00 leaving a large balance that I have no way of covering it. I receive social security disability and what I receive it’s barely enough to cover my bills, and have no money left for extra expenses. Please see the pre-work estimate.
