A cracked molar, a crown instead of a filling, dentures for a parent, an emergency visit and the work that follows. Once the dentist has quoted it, a private request puts that quote in front of the people who know you.
Free to create and free to send.
A crack, a lost filling, a tooth that has to come out: the dentist names the work and quotes a figure, and the date on the quote matters.
Ask the practice whether the work can be split or paid over time. Whatever remains after that conversation is what the request asks for, with the plan attached.
Luis cracked a molar last month. His dentist says it needs a crown rather than a filling, and the temporary will only hold for a few weeks. If it fails, the tooth may have to come out, and on his dentist's quote the extraction costs more than the crown.
His request names the crown and the fitting, with the treatment plan attached. It went to his parents, his partner's sister and an old roommate.
A denture fitting for a parent, an extraction, the emergency visit after a fall and the work that follows: each comes with a treatment plan and a figure. Oral surgery under anesthesia can also fit with surgery, and an ongoing medication with prescriptions.

| What you keep | The entire amount of every contribution. |
| When it arrives | Once your bank is connected, each contribution reaches it in 2-3 business days. |
| How you send it | By text or email, to the people you choose, with photos and a video if you want them to see the situation rather than just read about it. You decide who to send it to. It's never listed on A Better Gift, and it stays out of search results unless you choose to share it publicly. |
"My son cracked a molar last month and the dentist says it needs a crown rather than a filling." Raise it for him with his name on the request; as the parent who creates it, you receive the payout and settle the bill with the practice.
Nothing to create a request. Nothing to send it. And nothing comes out of what people give you: you receive the entire amount.
