So, here's what i need.  There are a lot of ppl on this site posting about their dental needs.  I am not in a position as of now to assist, but i'm working on it.  It is my life goal to begin this Nonprofit, to help people like you.. So what i need is testimonials to affirm my belief that this is a growing problem in america.  The more testimonials that i recieve, the more of a case i have to base my business plan on.  The more financial assistance and offer for services that i am able to acquire and the more publicity. 

In exchange for the testimonial, i will keep your contact information in a file (if you wish to share it).  When i begin my nonprofit organization, those who have provided testimonials will be the first people that i will assist in whatever financial or service capacity that i (as a nonprofit) am able.

This is part of the very first step in my business plan and it is a very important one, identifying the need for the kind of assistance that i plan to provide.  So, please send me your stories, your needs, your situation.  Here are some questions that might help you organize your thoughts on the subject. 

 -What are your dental issues?

-Are you in debt because of some dental expense?

-Are your children in need of dental assistance that you can't provide?

-Do you know others in this same situation?

-Do you feel a lack of self confidence because of this dental issue?

-Does this dental issue affect your physical appearance?

-Do you believe that your dental issue has prevented you from getting a good job?

-Do you believe that this dental issue is holding you back?

-What do you believe that you could accomplish if this dental issue was taken care of?

-What do you believe is the cause of this dental issue?

Also, if there's anyone who knows someone who is a dentist who might be interested in helping me further this project with advice or other assistance, please have them take a look at this and let me know their thoughts.

thanks

Hey there folks.  I'm new to this site, i don't neep help financially or anything. i just want to focus on my idea for a non profit organization.  My intention is to begin a nonprofit that helps people who need it (mainly women and children) but whoever's in need, to get the dental help that they require, whether it be "cosmetic" (which most of the time isn't what we would consider "cosmetic" at all, but a matter of having teeth or dentures), also braces (people who need braces may have resulting pain and tooth decay, also difficulty eating and low self esteem), and general problems with dentistry that they have no way of affording, and if they do finally get it, they remain in debt for years because of it.  It is my intention to do 2 things, commission the government, philanthropists, the public to help financially for my project, and also to get a network of dentists who are willing to donate time and services for this organization. 

My theory is that people who have dental problems that can be seen by others is not only a cause for low self esteem and genaral anxiety when it comes to dealing with other people in a social setting, but also it can impact them negatively in getting a job, a date, an oppurtunity. So basically, give someone a healthy smile, and give them the self esteem boost that they require to take on the world!  Go back to school! Get a new career! Teach their children about good dental hygeine and get their children the help that they require! Maintain the kind of self esteem it requires to make good decisions based on strength and confidence rather than fear, or low self esteem!  Give someone a new smile and give them a second chance, give them a new smile and give them faith that the world will take care of those who take initiative to take care of themselves. Teach them there is such a thing as second chances, and that they deserve it.
