William's Radiant Smile

Chicago born and bred, William Robbins moved to Presho, South Dakota (population 517) to live under his loving grandmother's care after the unexpected passing of his mother, Jeni. 

William is a big hearted, seventeen year old who loves animals as much as humans. He is an exemplary and diligent student who runs for the track and field team and is a theater technician for student plays. He works at both Hutch's Motel cleaning rooms and as a cashier at the local service station. He is also the biggest Chicago Blackhawks fan that I have ever met.*

Although William has little in terms of personal possessions, he's only asked me for something three times in the ten years that I have known him -- to attend his ninth birthday party at Fabulous Freddies on 31st Street in Bridgeport, for a solid pair of everyday school shoes, and orthodontic braces as he's self conscious about his smile. It's challenging for any of us to feel confident when we feel different. Let's help William get the smile that best reflects his great beauty, strength, resilience, and radiance.

Any money remaining at completion of his braces will go 100% toward his college education and related expenses. 

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for contributing to the positive momentum of William's bright future. We appreciate you and any amount you can share. Happy 2020 to you and your loved ones.

With love and gratitude,

The Dakota Blackhawks
