"I feel like I was given a miracle. I was going for a job (As a CNA nurse) and I was turned down because of my teeth. I'm a breast cancer survivor so I had trouble since the radiation and my teeth just went downhill" says Therese McCallion.

"It's a god send. You see so many people here that really need it. The lady had said 'come back when you get your teeth fix.' So guess what? I found a way!"
