Allie VS Sheep and fence

Allie is a beautiful 10 year old, soon to be 11. She is going into middle school in the fall and needs to have her teeth fixed. When she was 7 she competed in the county fairs "mutton busting". She made it through the preliminary round earlier in the day and was invited back for the championships that night. She was happy with the results she left with and didn't want to go back for the championship. I was so proud that she beat out the boys so I made her go back and compete! It was a raining, lightning and thundering. I didn't think much about it until she went to get on the most gigantic sheep they had there and slid off because it was wet. She climbed back on and they pushed her and the sheep out into the pin right as lightning struck. The sheep ran her right into the steel fence face first. When I picked her up out of the dirt her lips were split open and most of her bottom teeth were missing. She only had 2 adult teeth grown in at the time and they were both were broken. The impact had also pushed teeth and gums back. We had some work done and her adult teeth rebuilt, but with no avail. They continue to break off and her teeth are coming in at a slant now. I promised her before she started middle school we would do something with her teeth. Her dad owned his own company up until 6 months ago and because of the current economic state he lost everything. He has had to work out of state currently and her dental bill is the last thing on the list now. I feel responsible for the damage to her mouth because I made her continue that night. Please help me keep my promise and pick her for a new smile! She is a wonderful, bright, giving, cheery young girl who would love the chance to have a new beautiful smile!
