I only have 21 teeth (and I am being generous with that count). From time to time I am sure that my teeth are shifting their positions. In any case it would be great to have a full mouth of teeth.

I was born a cleff palet baby and my family never had the money to fully fix my mouth and teeth. I am thankfull to be alive and love everything about myslef inside and out except my smile. I hate taking pictures because of my smile . This has a major effect on my self confidence and if there is anyway possible to make my smile as happy looking as i am on the inside it would chage my life forever. I want people to see me for the happy outgoing ,caring person I am not not for the crooked smile on my beautifull face.
sincerly,
samantha stough

I’m a 40 yr old widower. My teeth have been bad for a while , some broken , some missing . Before my wife passed away , all my money went to taking care of my family . Now I don’t have a family and a nice smile would go a long way to getting my confidence back.

My name is Dominic and I’ve been grinding my teeth since I was about 7 years old. I’m now 25 and all my teeth are basically shattering and falling off. I’m constantly in pain almost everyday. I barely eat anymore, because I’m afraid of causing more damage and being in chronic pain. I haven’t smiled in about 4 years now and I have no confidence anymore. I went to the E.R. for pain and the doctor asked me if I was a Meth addict. I cried for a while than tryed to take my own life. Over teeth I’ve become depressed and a shut in. I’m afraid of being judged, because over all I’m a decent looking guy with ambition that’s not going anywhere in life. I have no money and everyplace says they don’t cover pre-existing conditions. I’m afraid to explain myself to friends, family, and even my girl I like soo much. Please Help me! Thankyou for your time. Sincerely, Dominic

I have never liked my smile, but I love to smile and laugh with my family, friends and people I meet on a daily basis. I have always had dental issues all my life, and as a small child I was told I probably would never have any teeth by the time I was 20 yrs old! (Terrible thing to tell a child.) I have always felt it was important to take care of my teeth, so going to the dentist has been a priority in my life. I have had many root canals and crowns and a few dental implants. I feel it is part of my overall health. Unfortunatly, there has never been enough money for me to have a bright beautiful smile. I still smile and laugh and love my friends and family and life, but it would be a dream come true for me to have a smile makeover! Thank you.

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter in hopes that it will let you see the journey i have been on, and the obstacles i have overcome in my life. I was informed that your organization is one that helps provide monetary aide to those who are in need of Dental, and Medical attention, i hope that my letter can be taken into consideration.

At this point in my life i have a hard time believing in anyone, and sometimes i even have hard time trusting myself. In saying that i mean i wear my heart on my sleeve, and i don;t stop and listen to what my mind is trying to tell my heart. TO often in my life i have been taken advantage of buy the people that i hold dearest to my heart to this day making it almost impossible to kindle a friendship. I know that i am a good person, i have made mistakes in my life none of which i am proud of but i also know that there is no way to go back and make right of things i did wrong, i can however take more kind actions if ever i am placed in the same situations and walk away with a better feeling. As humans i feel we have a divine instinct within us all that allows to feel the intentions of other humans and if we should feel threatened, betrayed, or hurt it is second nature to feel angry and form a barrier around our emotions, not trusting anyone who may come into our lives. Sadly enough we look for other ways to fill that void, some will try to replace it with sex, some with vanity,material items, others just give up on life and all who are in it. In my case i chose Meth a drug so powerful and manipulative once you introduce it to your system there is no turning back. I first experienced it when i was 13 years old and used it for about 6 months. Then when i was 18 my father committed suicide after loosing a battle with meth, i was heartbroken and lost and felt the only thing that would help me was the one thing that ruined my life. I became so lost and far into using meth i started lying, cheating, stealing, and making excuses for everything, i was so trapped i didn’t notice my “family” my whole life had fallen apart, and by the time i realized it, it was to late i couldn’t stop using and i was scared that if i did i would no longer be numb to my emotions and i would then have to face all the pain i felt, and all the pain i cause the people around me. As odd as it may sound my journey with drugs actually taught me a lot about myself and about the people i was surrounding myself with. I can’t say i am proud of what happened in my past but i will say that i don’t regret it, because those experiences have made me the strong person i am today. I have been sober now from meth for 17 months and being sober is the most rewarding and amazing thing i have done for myself and for those people i love. I found that life is the most AMAZING drug out there and i will continue for the rest of my life living it to the fullest with sobriety.

I hope that you can take this letter into consideration. Through my drug use i neglected to take care of my teeth and i am now suffering the consequences of the meth use. I would like to be able to smile without covering my mouth, and not living every day with pain. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter.

Sincerely,

Travis Jerry Hanson
