Veterans Smile Program

Great story and great and very needed service for our heroes! Thanks!

This is a great opportunity for the veterans to regain self-esteem in achieving employment and just making themselves feel better. The before and after photos are just unbelievable when you see the photos!

Thank God for Patricia and this program for our veterans and their happiness.

The Veterans Smile Program is a fantastic program that serves the veterans in our community, helping them get dental care that our government has failed to provide for them.

It's so heartwarming hearing the stories of American heroes who have had the foundations of their health restored thanks to the tireless service of Patty through this program. Countless lives have been changed for the better thanks to the Veterans Smile Program.

I'm proud to serve our nation's veterans through my small role in the Veterans Smile Program, and I'm so thankful for the donors and all the volunteers that make it possible to serve those who have served.

This program, Veterans Smile, is an amazing program that helps Veterans in need of dental work but can’t afford it. Patricia DeVore has put a tremendous amount of her time & energy in starting this Program and continues to keep it running. Just looking at the smiles on the Veterans faces after they have been helped with much needed dental work is enough for her to feel satisfied with the success of the program. Thank you Patricia for all you have done and continue to do for our Veterans.

Veteran Smiles is an amazing non profit that is focused solely on getting those smiles back on veteran's faces. I have seen the before and after outcomes and they are striking. Both internal and external. While this team works in the short term to fund these transformations on their own, the longer term fix is through the passage of HR914 and a related bill in the Senate. Please keep them in mind for both monetary and congressional support. Your time could not be spent on a better endeavor.

Veterans Smile Program, out of Montgomery Illinois, is a small but active program that has been active for around many years. The founder, Patty DeVore, is the only person working the 501(c)(3) program that has helped over 200 veterans across the United States get their smiles back. Most are homeless veterans. I have seen pictures and talked with a few that received dental care from this program. This program is fund by donations, fund raising and grants from companies, veterans organizations and from the public. A most worthy program.

Our Veterans Smile Program has given our Veteran’s in need something to SMILE about again!! We fund the critical dental care needed for our program eligible Veteran’s in need. Our VS program gives our nations Veteran’s back so much more than just their Smile by improving their physical and mental health, we are improving their overall well being. They All served, they All deserve including their Smiles too!

Patricia was most helpful. The Dentist was phenomenal

America’s military veterans can receive health care from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, but no such program exists for the vast majority of veterans in need of dental care. Legislation has been proposed in Washington (HR Bill 914) that would provide dental to veterans, but it has yet to receive the necessary support for passage and faces a long road due to funding and resource limitations. The Veterans Smiles program assists in providing greatly needed dental procedures for veterans who could not otherwise afford to have the work done. Dental health is critical to overall health, and through the tireless (and uncompensated) efforts of Patricia DeVore, participating dentists have donated or discounted critical services to veterans so they may realize better lives.

The Veterans Smile Program is transformational for the lives of Veterans. Just look at some of the photos on the program website under the Victories tab.

So far over 200 Veterans have been helped. I am supporting this program so we can double that number of success stories as soon as possible.

Thank you Patrica DeVore and all of the Veterans Smile Program supporters and dentists who are showing our military

This an amazing and critically needed program for our Veterans. Our Veterans have served our nation with honor and this program helps them with needed dental care to honor their service and sacrifice. The Veterans Smile Program channels every dollar raised to directly help our Veterans in need. Patricia DeVore leads the program with her tireless dedication and compassion and does not take compensation for herself. She is a skilled negotiator and solicits the help of dentists to donate and discount their services. She is creating a bridge until we can convince Congress and the Veterans Administration to fund Veterans dental care - contact your congressional representatives and insist they support bill H.R. 914 to fund care for our Veterans.

This organization ~under the compassionate and caring leadership of Patricia DeVore ~ has assisted many veterans ~ to again have a quality of life and self esteem.
It has such a remarkable mission : I have been a VA nurse for many years and have seen so many positive benefits from the effects of this program for our military veterans ~ who DESERVE to have happy lives! Please consider this program for your assistance . The VA has left many veterans to suffer in silence as it does not provide necessary dental services.

It's unfortunate that this fine program is necessary, but the Veterans Administration only provides dental care to approx. 8% of enrolled veterans, thanks to congress. Dental care is very expensive, so what this provides, and what it needs, is tremendous.
