Rebuilding Dental Labs After Hurricane Helene

As the President of Nowak Dental Supplies, I know firsthand the devastation a natural disaster can bring to a business. When Hurricane Katrina hit, our company was completely wiped out—20 feet of water surged through our building, destroying everything we had built. It took years to recover and rebuild, and we couldn’t have done it without the support and generosity of others.

Now, many dental labs are facing a similar crisis due to Hurricane Helene. These are small businesses that form the backbone of dental care across the country. They are now dealing with significant damage to their equipment, loss of inventory, and the heartbreaking task of rebuilding their facilities from scratch. I remember the feeling of standing in our ruined building, wondering how we would ever get back on our feet.

That’s why I’m raising money—to be the lifeline for these labs that we once needed ourselves. This isn’t just about rebuilding businesses; it’s about restoring hope and stability for the owners, their employees, and the communities they serve.
