Title:
Help Me Heal: Emergency Dental Work After Surviving Trafficking
Hello, my name is Zoe Bellatorre, and I’m a survivor of human trafficking, specifically familial trafficking. I was trafficked beginning at 2 years old by my father. I’ve spent years rebuilding my life—fighting for healing, safety, and dignity. But one major piece of my recovery still remains out of reach: my smile.
During my time being trafficked, my teeth were damaged due to the violence that I experienced. That damage didn’t just affect how I look—it affects how I eat and how I feel every day. I live with the reminder that I am still, many years later, dealing with the impact of the exploitation and violence that I experienced.
Now, I need emergency dental care, including extraction of my front tooth, a temporary tooth, and an implant for the reconstruction. These procedures are critical—not cosmetic—but unfortunately, they’re not covered by insurance, and they come at a cost I cannot afford on my own.
I’m raising $8,000 to cover this urgent medical expense.
Every dollar will go directly toward the care I need to restore my health and confidence.
Your support—whether by donating, sharing, or simply encouraging—means more than I can say. You’re helping me reclaim a part of myself that was taken. This is not just about dental work. It’s about wholeness, healing, and the right to smile without pain.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, caring, and standing with me.
With gratitude,
Zoe Bellatorre
