*Update - Fundraiser goal reached! THANK-YOU!!!*

I'm back from the denturist. He said my gums are getting damaged by the current immediate dentures & obtaining fixed ones would help with that & with eating more foods. The fixed dentures aren't as expensive as immediates were but they are still costly & not covered by my pharmacare. I am a disabled death doula/death care aide, working on independent contracts basis & have no additional health insurance coverage. I was slowly saving up for fixed dentures but had to use the $260 saved for unexpected medical costs for me & Mom's recent downturns in health last month.

These are the costs I was quoted today, for getting full set of fixed dentures made with the related costs that I'm #fundraising for:

X-rays, casting & full fixed dentures set - $1650
4 relines for any adjustments needed after - $680
$331.55 CDN in donated funds received as of 5:40pm on June 2nd.
Total still needed: $1,998.45

In #Indonesia, 273,000 #garmentworkers make #Nike products, with a typical wage of just $1 per hour. Another 57,000 workers in #Cambodia make Nike products for around $1.18 per hour. Workers are not directly employed by Nike but work for factories that contract with the #sportswear company. Nike reported $51.4 billion in revenue in 2024.

The workers taught passersby an Indonesian chant: “Hidup Buruh,” or “Long live the workers.”
