Dee came to us as she was trying to put her life in order. She had nowhere to stay, no job prospects, and most notably, she had no way of carrying on a conversation without covering her mouth. She was trying to hide the fact that she was missing her front teeth. After some initial hesitation, she eventually opened up about her struggles.
She told us about the abuse she suffered in a past relationship (the cause of the damage to her smile) and the downward spiral of being shamefully embarrassed of her smile while at the same time trying to be valuable in a marketplace that puts so much importance of a bright personality and a friendly face.
We knew Dee didn’t have the resources to find the help she needed, and that meant WE had to do something. We also knew that a new outfit, hairstyle, and makeup, wasn’t going to do her any benefit without a new smile. So that’s exactly what we gave her.
Dee, and the hundreds of New Life Smile recipients who’ve come after her, all have one thing in common. A new smile wasn’t just a change to thier appearance. It was a turning point in their life. When we saw what we could do for Dee, we knew it was time to bring the concept of this life changing charity – to the masses.
