Warm holiday thanks from us 2025


Holiday wishes & thanks

Oya, Reader!

First, warm holiday wishes from our family to yours. Hope your days are filled with peace, rest, and people you love.​

There is good news to share. Phase 1 of Jiana’s treatment is done, and it went well. On December 9, she had surgery to remove the infection and add bone grafts. She was in the chair for 7 hours being an absolute warrior through a very tough day. The cost was also lower than expected, which helps a lot.​

Here’s where your help has gone so far:

  • Infection treatments (root planing, scaling, laser): $1,000.28
  • Surgery and bone grafts: $4,366
  • Unplanned crown replacement: $702
  • Prescriptions and ride to appointment: $59.70
  • Total spent so far on treatment: $6,127.70
  • Total raised after fees: $8,436.43

Because of you, Phase 2 is already covered by the remaining funds. After that, there will be almost nothing left, and we still need to finish three more phases to fully fix Jiana’s teeth and smile.​

What’s still unfunded:

  • Phase 3 – Endodontics: $3,179
  • Phase 4 – Orthodontics: $3,500
  • Phase 5 – Implants: $5,564
  • Still needed to reach the revised goal: $12,079.55

If you are able, please donate or share the fundraiser today so we can keep moving forward and finish all of Jiana’s treatment. Even a small gift or a quick share makes a big difference.​

Thank you so much for every dollar, every share, and every kind message. Your support has gotten us this far, and we are deeply grateful.
