Hello my name is Dorian and I met someone twelve years ago this month. She is a beautiful person inside and out. In the beginning she wouldn't talk much and I thought it was because she didnt speak any english. she is from brazil and back then she only spoke portuguese. well years later we are still friends. she is more like family to me now, and now i know why she never talked. unfortunately she didnt want anyone to notice her teeth. when i found out about her teeth i brought her to my dentist. they have been doing deeep cleanings to try to sustain them so that she could save up enough money to have the work done, but she would never be able to afford it. she is so sad because she doesnt want to lose all of her teeth and end up with a mouth full of nothing. i have witnessed first hand the pain she has gone through with tooth aches and infections and let me tell you i dont know how she gets through it. she has gum disease, missing her front teeth, missing some other teeth, her gum has receded in the front making her bottom teeth look so long, which by the way are very loose. but the worst part about it is im scared if she dosent get the work done and some new teeth soon she will end up with heart problems and possibly heart disease. i need to tell you a little bit about her. she is 44 years old, has raised one child as a single parent. when she came to this country she went to school to learn english (she speaks english fluently now), she continued her education with patient care, she cleans houses for a living, and has only missed two days of work in the past twelve years. she has inspired me to be a better person in many ways, and i would do anything for her. but the one thing she needs most is money and a very good dentist that is not afraid of a challenge. unfortunately i am not a dentist and i dont have any money. thank you p.s. her name is laura vieira
