Smile for a Lifetime recipient Danielle Chesser

Fifteen year old Danielle Chesser of Temecula is our second recipient of an Orthodontic Scholarship from Petrol Orthodontics given through the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation. In her letter of recommendation, Jan Milos writes: " Danielle is the only girl in a family with five brothers. She is home schooled and is quite active in the church and community. Danielle has taken the initiative to work at various jobs. She has cleaned horse stalls, raked leaves, bathed neighborhood dogs, raised love birds for sale and baby sat… She is definitely deserving of your assistance and this orthodontic work would certainly improve her chances for a better future."

In her application, Danielle wrote "I know that I am in need of braces. I know this a life changing opportunity, and I appreciate you considering me for this program."

Danielle's parents added" It would be such a blessing to have Danielle's smile match her beautiful personality"

The Board of Directors of the Southwest Riverside Regional Chapter of the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation agrees and Danielle received braces on Tuesday, September 1^st 2009.
