Meet The Finalists Then Vote Below

I worked really hard and recently lost 50 pounds which is a huge self esteem boost. However, I haven’t had dental insurance for a few years and have a difficult time making it paycheck to paycheck therefore I can’t afford to get my teeth fixed. I am only 24 years old and my front teeth are rotting out which makes me very self conscious and I don’t smile often because I am ashamed of showing my teeth. I plan on getting married April 2011 and it would be a dream come true to have my teeth fixed so my wedding day can be what I have always dreamed of.

I think the picture speakes for itself. I been a hair dresser for 36 years and have been so busy making everyone else beautiful I have no time for myself. I couldn't afford braces as a kid. please pick me.

I am a proud mother of 3 beautiful girls. I have needed dental work for a while now but money is so short in this house. It seems like when we do have a little money the girls need something so we always put them first. I want my girls to be proud of me and like the way their mommy looks. They always point out to me that I need to go to the dentist and ask me why I dont go and I tell them that mommy will get her teeth fixed. I dont want to feel ashamed of smiling or talking to people because I am afraid of what they think of me. If you could help me I would be so forever in your debt.
