Smile for Grandma

I'm looking for a program that will cover my dental fees because I'm not employed. My husband works odd jobs throughout the Vally,and we are living with in laws who are on a fixed income and retired.

I need dental work done because I have no back teeth, and my front teeth are starting to break and chip away due to me using my front teeth to chew certain foods. I am so embarrassed by my smile that I either don't smile or I cover my mouth when I do. I don't really care if I have the remaining teeth fixed or if they need to be pulled and replaced with dentures.

I was born and raised in the Cochella Vally area and have no plans of ever leaving. I recently became a grandmother and I would love to take my granddaughter to places I know she would enjoy, but I don't want to embarrass her if I do smile, because that would be devastating if someone said something or gave that look of disgust like I have encountered before. I'm asking for some sort of dental help not just for myself,but for my grandchild, who I want to see me smile when she does something that is funny, or just wants to see me smile.

I thank you so much for reading this submission.
