Dentures for Homeless People

"It's hard to get a job when you've got no teeth. Nobody will hire you. But when I got my dentures, I got a job in a couple of weeks."   -- Lucas

"After I lost my teeth, I didn't smile much. People thought I was always mad, but I was just embarrassed. Now I have my dentures, and I smile all the time! People say I'm a different person."  -- Stefanie

"I just got my dentures. I feel more confident about myself. I am chewing my food for the first time in a long time. With my teeth in I was able to talk to people and get housing. The best part about that is now I will be able to see my kids. I am very grateful for this new life I have been given. " -- Wade 

"Having the dentures gives a great uplifting feeling. I am able to chew my food . I am regaining my health with better nutrition. I was one of the first to sign up. I was so excited I actually cried. Bless the people who donated money to make this happen for me." -- Shawn

Greater Seattle Cares met Lucas, Stefanie, Wade and Shawn in a homeless encampment. All of them needed full upper and lower dentures, but they couldn't afford them. With donor support, we helped them get the dentures they needed, and within months they were back into permanent housing. 

There are so many others living in the organized camps we support who need a hand to get dentures. Will you  help with a financial donation? A full set of dentures costs us about $1200, partials cost less, and every gift  helps. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of May so that we can assist 12 homeless camp residents to get the full or partial dentures they need. 

Greater Seattle Cares is a non-profit organization based in Seattle that works with permitted homeless encampments all over Puget Sound. We are all volunteers, so your donation will go directly to pay for dentures, not to administrative costs.
