A new GoFundMe campaign titled “Bring Back Craig’s Smile” has been launched to raise critical funds for Craig Peck, who was severely injured in a car accident in July 2023. The accident left Craig with extensive dental trauma, and after nearly two years of pain and partial treatment, he now needs community support to afford the next crucial steps in his recovery.

In the summer of 2023, Craig—described by friends as warm-hearted, hardworking, and always ready with a joke—was the victim of a serious auto accident that caused significant damage to his teeth. Though he began receiving some dental care, insurance quickly fell short, leaving the majority of his needs unmet. Since then, Craig has struggled with worsening pain, increased dental complications, and emotional distress from the impact on his appearance and quality of life.

Today, Craig faces a staggering financial burden to repair his teeth, alleviate his discomfort, and restore his ability to smile confidently. The driver responsible for the accident was uninsured, and unfortunately, the insurance policy for the vehicle Craig was riding in doesn’t provide coverage for his medical or dental costs. With no legal or financial recourse available, the only hope now lies in community support.

“This is about more than teeth—it’s about restoring someone’s ability to laugh, to be confident, to enjoy life again,” said Russ G., a close friend of Craig and the person behind the fundraising initiative. “When I saw how much Craig was suffering and how limited his options were, I knew I had to do something. That’s why we launched this campaign. Every donation counts—no matter the size.”

The GoFundMe campaign outlines a detailed plan for how funds will be used, with estimates from dental professionals for full restoration procedures. The goal is to raise enough money to cover implants, restorative surgeries, and follow-up care that Craig cannot access without help.

Craig’s friends and loved ones are hopeful that with enough awareness and compassion, he can finally receive the care he needs to heal—physically and emotionally.
