My daughter Kayli is a beautiful 10 yr old girl. She had a few extra baby teeth which made all her teeth go crooked. Her top teeth have a bad overbite so bad her teeth scrape together when she chews.She was told she would probly need to wear head gear for a few years. She doesnt smile big because she has buck teeth. She broke off part of one of her teeth while she was riding her bike. She gets made fun of all the time because of her teeth. I know this would change her life. How can we enter if we don’t have a video camera? Is she even eligible? Thanks:)

I am a 49 year old woman who desperately wants to smile on the outside like I smile on the inside. My self-esteem is as crumbled and broken as the many teeth I have lost through aging and genetics and have had to have pulled. In years past, money spent on the dentist was for my children. They are grown now, beginning families of their own. I have gone through some really rough times in my life, my first husband (childrens’ father) and my second husband have both died; thus, I am a twice widowed. I have spent much time and effort moving on and dealing with the grief and issues in my life and am looking with fervor toward the “second half” of my life. (God willing!) Having dealt with issues within me, I am now ready to work on the outside and be able to share my smile and strengths with others!!

. I am a home maker in a home that makes around $26,000 a year but I have a special needs child. So all our money goes to bills, gas, food and etc. I hope you do not take this as wanting a pity party I do not or wanting a hand out, I am just a simple person at their limit to pain that has done their best with what they have. For example, I went to the low income but they need cash upfront($2000 to fix everything I need). I do not have that kind of money and I need 3 teeth fixed BADLY. My father paid for my wisdom teeth to come out and during one of my back teeth just broke like crazy, I have maybe 1/3 of the tooth left. I can’t take the pain anymore. Crying for hours and never being out of pain, I can’t remember the last time I ate without pain! I am also about to finish school and I will be a event and wedding planner and one of my front teeth is broken and that will not look professional so this has the potential to hurt my new career before I even get the chance to start my dream job, and to have that happen after making good grades the thought kills me. I may be able to provide a nice living for my family for better then we have now, to take some weight off my husband and to get he and I medical and health insurance. I know this sounds like I want pity but again I do not I just want help, I do not know what else to do. If you can help in any way I would be appreciative and indebted for life. I would do all I could to give back when I could and it would never be enough!
