$10,000 of dental work donated, one life changed

Like so many of you, this unique time has had us reflecting and extra thankful for the amazing people who make our mahi possible - and we want to say thank you.

Andrew from Symonds Street Dental and Rachel from Eden Orthodontics generously donated free dental and orthodontic work to a young person for as long as they needed it. This came to about $10,000 worth of work!

A mentor told us about her young person who was saving for braces at the time. We got to present her with a Golden Ticket and needless to say she and her whānau were stoked!

After, we received a very sweet note from this young person. This is what she had to say. “I am so grateful to have this amazing opportunity to be able to have braces! I can’t believe that out of all the people in this world you chose me! No words can explain how much I’ve wanted this and have finally gotten it.

I didn’t think that this would ever happen or be possible! This is so unexpected and one of the greatest things that’s happened in my life! I will never forget this and I just want to say a massive thank you!”

Thank you Andrew and Rachel for this incredible gift.
