Hello!

My name is Madalina Stanca-Vasilescu and I'm 42 years old, from Romania. I have two beautiful daughters - Rebecca, 16 years old and Astrid, 9 years old.

When I thought my life was finally stable, my mother found out she had stage 4 breast cancer, with bone metastasis. And that's when my life changed from stressful to hell. I was barely able to make ends meet, yet I helped her any way I could. I took care of her day and night, as she was already bed-bound. She spent her last month and a half in the hospital and I used to stay with her overnight and in the morning go home to make breakfast for my daughters and take them to school, afterwards picking them up from school, doing the house chores, helping my daughters with their homework, getting some sleep and then back to the hospital. After she died, all I had left as family, was my grandmother. But she also passed away three years ago. Now I have, literally, no one to turn to. My ex doesn't help me with anything, unfortunately.

Because I couldn't take care of myself, my health began deteriorating. My organism has a hard time with the assimilation of calcium, so with this and the constant stress, my teeth started breaking to pieces, day by day. I just can't afford going to the dentist, and my face is swollen most of the time, because of the frequent abscesses. I also have other health issues, such as severe anemia and a few other. But the worst now are my dental problems, as all I have left are a few roots that are 100% decayed. I can't eat anymore, I can't sleep properly because of the constant pain and so on. I've had half of my face swollen three times in the past few months. In Romania the dental services are not covered, so I'd have to pay for every little thing. The worst part is, because of my health problems and with my youngest daughter being on the spectrum (Asperger Syndrome), I can't work full-time, so I need to do small jobs here and there, trying to at least put food on the table and making sure we're not behind with the bills.

I know I've written a lot, but I've tried to make it as short as possible.

Bless you all!
