The Grotto Humanitarian Foundation

Grottoes International Humanitarian Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that brings “Special Smiles” to children with special needs by providing them much-needed dental care.

We thank you so much for your financial help with our daughter’s dental expenses. She is pain-free now and we are so happy to see her smile! We are grateful to you for making it possible for Jean to get the care she needed. May God bless you all for your kindness.

(NOTE: The program helps cover the cost of dental treatment and anesthesia costs, whether done in a hospital setting or dental office. We do not cover the hospital costs.)

Just a few lines letting you know how grateful we are to you. Our only child, Kayla Erin, was born with a rare chromosomeal disorder that affects 1 in 20,000 births called, Angelman Syndrome. Kayla Erin has mental retardation, but is a very happy child. She has had many problems with her teeth. We keep trying to patch up her teeth problems at the dentist’s office. But her teeth seemed very weak, they broke away, and she was always in pain. 
She’s had four dental surgeries and our bills kept mounting. This last time we couldn’t find a dentist who would take our insurance without a large down payment, which we did not have. We prayed that God would answer our prayers, then we remembered the Grotto. You helped us one other time. We called the Doctor of Smiles and he directed us. We found another dentist and needless to say, Kayla Erin had a five-hour dental surgery at Children’s Memorial and for the first time in years her pain is gone and she looks like a movie star! Thank you…
