🚨 PLEASE HELP CONNOR — HE CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER 🚨
PLEASE. STOP AND READ THIS.
There is a young man named Connor who has been living with severe dental pain for more than a month — possibly even longer.
And right now, his mother is desperately fighting to get him help.
I know this family personally. I met Angela when I was working on Daniela’s Little Wish. Angela is not only an incredible mother — she is an extraordinary human being. She has spent countless hours calling, searching, asking, pleading, and knocking on every door she can find for her son.
But the doors keep closing.
Connor is a young adult with severe autism. He cannot simply sit in a dentist’s chair and go through a procedure like most people can. Because of his disability and the severity of his autism, his dental treatment needs to be performed under sedation/anesthesia.
And this is where this heartbreaking situation becomes even more desperate.
His mother has been told that some hospitals have WAITING LISTS OF ONE TO TWO YEARS for dental procedures requiring anesthesia.
ONE TO TWO YEARS.
đź’” How is that possible when someone is already suffering in pain?
Can you imagine being a mother and knowing your child is hurting, knowing he needs treatment, and being told to wait potentially one or two years?
Connor shouldn’t have to wait years to be free from pain.
He shouldn’t have to suffer because he has a disability.
This isn’t about special treatment.
This is about basic human compassion.
This is about dignity.
This is about access to medical care.
This is about a young man who needs someone to help him when he cannot speak up for himself.
Angela has been fighting this battle alone for far too long.
Now she needs us.
🙏 If you work at a news station, newspaper, television network, radio station, or any media organization in Connecticut — PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US.
Marissa Alter and Sarah Cody, I hope you remember me. ❤️ I met you both through my work with Daniela’s Little Wish, and I am reaching out to you now because I desperately hope you can help us find a door that will finally open for Connor.
I am in college now, but please contact me anytime. I will always have a special place in my heart for both of you. ❤️
And to every dentist, oral surgeon, hospital, medical professional, organization, or person who may know someone who can help Connor:
PLEASE REACH OUT.
We don’t need thousands of people to solve this.
We need ONE person to see this.
ONE person to make one phone call.
ONE person to say, “I can help.”
And if you don’t know how to help, SHARE THIS.
Please don’t scroll past.
Please don’t assume someone else will do it.
BE THAT PERSON.
Connor deserves to wake up without pain.
Connor deserves care.
Connor deserves dignity.
And Angela deserves to know that she is NOT fighting for her son alone.
❤️ PLEASE SHARE. TAG THE NEWS STATIONS. TAG REPORTERS. TAG DENTISTS. TAG ANYONE WHO MAY BE ABLE TO HELP.
LET’S FIND THE RIGHT DOOR FOR CONNOR.
LET’S GET HIM HELP.
