Kathryn's Smile Halifax

Donation protected

Our journey began when two trauma advocates, one in Halifax Nova Scotia and one in Atlanta, Georgia - each passionate about changing the culture and resources available for trauma survivors - became more than associates.  They became frieinds.

Kathryn is a child sex trafficking survivor who has dedicate her life to becoming a shining example of what it looks like to thrive and be happy in the wake of horrendous violence.  Please watch her recent interview with CBS,  (he link is provided above) where she shares her life publicly for the first time.

Kathryn is in need of urgent, extensive dental restoration to combat further losses and damage to her already destroyed teeth (incurred by violence, neglect and post-trauma illness).  When Laurel learned of Kathryn's personal struggle to get her mouth restored, she did what Laurel does - she advocated on Kathryn's behalf.

Laurel Walker is spearheading this life-altering act of generosity and compassion, along with Chardin Consulting and Daniel Daniel Dentistry.  Upon hearing about Kathryn, an inspirational survivor who has spent decades using her life experiences to bring hope and healing to others, Dr. Daniel agreed to incur 100% of the labor and costs associated with restoring Kathryn's smile.  It is a long journey we want done right. 

Kathryn's Smile Halifax was born.  We have one mission in mind - a passion to create a life-altering new smile for a inspiring woman.

This is where you come in.  The travel between Atlanta  and Halifax needs your support.  We are seeking to cover all expenses for Kathryn and her daughter for each trip needed for the duration of the work - flights, hotel, food and incidentals.  It may take as much as a year to complete the work.

Any funds raised above the target amount will be placed in an educational fund for Kathryn's 16-year-old daughter to help her with future college/university costs.
