Massy Mother’s Day for Mutual Aid 💐
This is one of the most meaningful mutual aid fundraisers we’ve organized through Massy.
A dear friend, a mother of a 6-year-old, urgently needs dental care she cannot afford. After a series of setbacks, including losing access to a car in a rural area (making it difficult to get her child to school and herself to work), and living with long-term back & hip injuries that limits her ability to work full-time and access benefits, she is now facing a serious health crisis. After 5 rounds of antibiotics, she is at risk of sepsis if she doesn’t receive dental treatment soon.
She is trying to avoid having all her teeth pulled. She needs a root canal, two crowns, one extraction, and two fillings. Her 6-year-old also needs 2 cavities filled.
Please note, she was unaware of the CDCP program until now, and due to the annual renewal date, applications are taking up to 2 months for approval. She cannot wait this long. The receptionist at the CDCP program has stated it will take a minimum of a month or longer to get.
So we’re organizing an emergency fundraiser to help her get the work done ASAP.
On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10th, we will be donating 100% of all sales (both in-store and online) to support her care. All purchases made between 12:01am and 11:59pm will be included.
If you’re able, please consider buying a book that day to help.
And if you’re a dentist, or know someone who might be willing to help provide this care, even better! Please reach out to us at [email protected]. OR, if you are a dentist looking to open up a clinic and need an architect, my husband is willing to provide free architectural services in lieu of this work!
Thank you for showing up for community when called, and for this mother on mother’s day ❤️
