PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE! INNOVATIVE WAYS IN WHICH VOLUNTEERS HELP OUR FAMILIES!

Dr. Lindsey Marshall, award-winning cosmetic and neuromuscular dentist in Financial Overview Ardmore, PA is partnering with Home of the Sparrow. Dr. Marshall is donating complimentary dental services to participants in our programs.

For women with low and very low incomes it is often impossible to afford cos- metic dentistry or even routine dental exams. Dr. Marshall’s collaboration will open many new doors for the women we support with the dental health needed for themselves and their children.

Dr. Marshall shared, “in reflecting upon my goals for the new year, I realized my greatest strength is the ability to restore a person’s confidence by giving them a happy, healthy smile. The women who have actively sought the support of Home of the Sparrow are eager to start anew and by giving them and their children dental services to improve their sense of self and overall health, I hope that the transition back to independence will be just a little bit easier.”
