She couldn't eat
The unidentified lady explained that she had to resort to taking only liquid food she called 'ensures' in the place of food but this couldn't make up for solid meals as she lost weight rapidly.
The weight loss meant she put on several clothes at a time to look well-fed and alright. She would later discover that her teeth could have been fixed if she had been guided rightly.
The heartwarming video wraps up with a dentist giving her a new set of teeth, much to the lady's surprise.
Social media reacts
Michelle Laroche said:
"I'm glad this young lady finally got the strength and support she needed to move on with her life. Her face was totally different after receiving her new teeth. We all do silly or regretful things growing up but usually there are family and good friends to help us muddle through. Seems like she had nobody. I wish her all the best."
