You’ve known me for quite some time. You’re my friend. You love me. You appreciate me. You like me. Whatever :) But you’ve been thinking about the kind of gift you could offer me for my birthday, right?

Well, I got accepted at both Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (2 highly competitive dental programs) to complete the requirements for Internationally Trained Dentists seeking to obtain United States dental licensure to legally practice dentistry. I am humbly requesting – as a precious gift for my birthday – your generous contribution in helping me achieve my utmost goal to practice dentistry in the United States.

In 2021, because of life threatening circumstances in Haiti, I decided to move to the United States with my family. I have found myself at the intersection between race, immigration status, country of origin. However, I am very determined and motivated to become the best version of myself and contribute positively to the community.

Thank you in advance for your precious support and the courtesy you extended to me.

Kind regards,

Lesly
