I am writing this letter to say thank you so very much for giving me the opportunity to have my smile back. I was introduced to The Smiles for Success Foundation by Bobbie, an employee at Hackley Community Care Dental Office. She suggested that I submit a letter to Smiles for Success explaining the circumstances surrounding my inability to obtain the necessary treatment for my teeth.

I am a 55-year-old college student, working on my associate’s degree in Arts and Science. I am only working part-time as work-study at the college and my funds are extremely limited. Through the aid of the Smiles for Success program I can now smile! My partial was falling apart. The teeth had been broken and it did not fit my mouth properly anymore. I was extremely self –conscious.

Now that I have a new partial, my self-esteem has been boosted! I am much more confident and happy as a result. I have a year to go before I get my degree. At that time I will be able to go to job interviews feeling confident about my appearance. It will make a world of difference to me. The services provided by Dr. Plamback and his entire staff were outstanding! They helped and guided me through the entire process. I would like to thank them very much for their patience! I would also like to thank the donors that make Smiles for Success possible. I am so glad that there are supportive people, willing to help those of us who are less fortunate.
