Help Dr. Smiles Help People in Need

This fund is simple: **to help people who need it.**

Through Dr. Smiles, I regularly meet people who are going through incredibly difficult circumstances. Some are experiencing homelessness. Some need food, clothing, transportation, temporary housing, or help getting back on their feet. Others simply need someone to believe in them and give them a hand at the right moment.

I created this fund so that when I meet someone who genuinely needs help, I can act.

**100% of the funds I receive from this fundraiser will be used to directly help people in need.** I will use the funds at my discretion based on each individual situation and where I believe the money can make the greatest impact.

That may include things like:

• Housing or hotel stays

• Food and basic necessities

• Clothing and hygiene supplies

• Transportation

• Dental or medical-related needs

• Replacing important belongings

• Helping someone get to a job interview or start a new job

• Other immediate needs that can help someone move forward

None of this fund is intended as compensation for me. Its purpose is to give me the ability to say **yes** when I meet someone who needs help.

Whenever possible, I’ll continue sharing the stories of the people we help so you can see the impact your generosity is making, while also respecting their privacy and dignity.

You may not be able to change someone’s entire life in one day, but sometimes one act of kindness is enough to change the direction they’re headed.

Thank you for helping me help others.

**Changing the world, one smile at a time.**
