“I personally want to give a big Thank-you to each and every one that volunteered for this event. I also want to Thank each of you for all your hard work and dedication as well. I will forever be thankful for the smile you gave me and one I can be proud of. Now it is up to me to finish what was started. I will be able to continue my dental treatment because many of you helped me through a very stressful and difficult process on Friday. I was treated the best I ever have been by a dentist on that day!!!!! My overall experience was very positive and this is the only one I have ever had within my life!!! You all are angels and miracle workers in my eyes as well as in many others!! Again, Thank you for everything that you all do!!!”

-Laurie, Reeseville

“Oh my goodness i was number 534 today i cant begin to find the words to thank you for the awesome cleaning and experience!!!! Much love to all of you. MOM, the Foundation and ALL the AMAZING VOLUNTEERS. It was the best cleaning i have ever gotten. i am unemployed and no insurance. I arrived like 4:15 am (live about a mile away) and was home about 8:30. It was the most efficient operation i have ever seen. seems to be a repeating theme with You. You gave me the wonderful kick start i needed. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.”

-Donna, city unknown

“Just wanted to write to say thanks you to all involved. My sister and I went to the Alliant Center Friday, June 29 for dental work. It helped out so much. I’m on disability, my sister had a cleaning, and I had 3 teeth pulled. Everyone that we came in contact with were so very friendly and curtious and helpful. I am a big coward when it comes to dental work, and Friday was no differant but I wasn’t nervous after long. They were so nice. Thanks again for having this event.

-Butch, city unknown

“I just got home from my 12-hour MOM visit. I wanted to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am to ALL the volunteer staff of this wonderful organization. There is no way I could have ever afforded the services provide me today on my own and my health would have suffered. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! from the bottom of my heart. You ARE truly appreciated!”

-Susan, city unknown

Legislators

“Just seeing the volume of people that are here today, the need that is out there. People I know are not covered by Medicaid, and it’s really hard for people to get dental care if they don’t have insurance. It’s a real eye-opener.”

-State Rep. Janis Ringhand (D-Evansville), assisted with patient exit interviews

“How compassionate and generous the whole dental profession is, from dentists to hygienists to assistants. This is a great outpouring of generosity to help people that unfortunately don’t have any type of dental insurance or are underinsured.”

-State Rep. Evan Wynn (R-Whitewater), assisted with set-up and patient exit interviews
