I am on a fixed income, I have medical care through medicare/humana, but dentists are not fully covered and the dental care that I require is so costley that I have to make do with out. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 120lbs because it hurts to eat and some things I cant eat at all. The pain is unbearable. The Family Health center in my area still wants to charge me 90 plus dollars a tooth just for a simple extraction. Can you please help me to smile or at least to be able to eat properly. thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sorry but The help I need is for Cluster Headaches.  I didn't print right in the previous message.  I have no medical insurance and I have had suicidal thoughts because of the severity that they have become.  I cannot afford the medications or shots required to help bear the pain.  The headaches are now chronic.  I cannot work or afford catscans or MRIS.  Is there anyone out there that can help me?  My email address is balladofyouth@hotmail.com

Doctors Pro Bono Work

Writer/Producer/Narrator: Shawn Holiday

Going to the doctor or dentist can be nerve-wracking. Especially for someone who desperately needs care and has no way to pay for it. Thanks to the compassion and care of area doctors, some of the most deserving people get the help they need. From dental clinics in Fort Myers to open heart surgery in the Dominican Republic, these doctors give hope along with healing as part of their mission to serve others.
