Hi, my name is Heather Poteete. I want to start by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH to anyone who takes the time to read this. My husband and I have been together since we were 13 years old. We have been together for 20 years, married for 15 years and have 2 precious daughters together ages 15 and 11. We are currently facing financial struggles and are in need of assistance. My husband and I have been on our on since were 17 and have always managed to be able to provide without having to ask for help. We've never had more than what we needed but we always had just enough. Unfortunately after almost 10 years of employment at a window factory my husband lost his job several months ago. We have both been working hard doing whatever side jobs we can find and although we have struggled tremendously and wanted to give up at times we kept pushing forward and we have managed to be able to pay the bills each month. My husband's health is deteriorating due to a dental disease he has had for years. He has been told he will need all of his top teeth extracted and all but 6 of his bottom teeth.  This will leave him needing full dentures on top and a partial for his bottom teeth as well as fillings and or root canals on remaing bottom 6 teeth. He has an appointment set for this procedure on December 15th. I have also been told by my endocrinologist that the growth I have had on my thyroid for the last 4 years is now causing my trekia to be deviated which is resulting in Difficulty swallowing, breathing and eating. I have been putting off the surgery for a couple of years but my endocrinologist said I really need to get the surgery scheduled to have a full thyroidectomy by the end of the year. This will leave me unable to help support my family for several weeks. I am praying for a miracle so that my husband can recieve his dental care,  I can have the surgery I need and my daughters can have a good Christmas.  Thank you Jesus, my husband will be starting his new job the first week of January. All we need is a little help getting through this next month of bills, my husbands detal cost and Christmas help for our 2 girls. I could then schedule my surgery as well and we would be back on our feet by the first of the year. We have never asked anyone for help or a handout in the 20 Years that we have been together. We've never even asked our parents for help. This is extremely embarrassing and very humbling for me.Its Christmas time  and my heart is so heavy with shame, stress and uncertainty. I want to apologize for even having to make this request for help as I know so many others are struggling. We only  need $4,500 for dental cost and bills...I set my goal for $6000 in hopes that I would be able to get Christmas for my family this year as well. We are praying for a miracle and would be more grateful than you could ever imagine. Thank you so much to all of you for your kindness. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤
