Restoring Isabelle’s Smile and Renewing Her Hope

Israel’s unrest weighed heavily on Isabella, a single mother reeling from unbearable loss—her mother and two brothers gone in just three years. “It really affected me and I couldn’t work,” she shared. “It was a very difficult period in my life.” Then came the dental pain; after giving birth, her teeth deteriorated until she had none left. “For years I had no teeth. I wouldn’t speak much. I wore a mask every time I went outside to hide my mouth.”

A social worker saw her struggle and referred her to CBN Israel. Our team sprang into action, arranging comprehensive dental care, driving her to every appointment in Jerusalem, and gently easing her fears along the way. “The hardest point in someone’s life is when you’re in a bad place and there’s no one there to help,” Isabella reflected. “It’s like I came out of darkness and found light and hope. I was given an opportunity to move on. You gave me new hope.”

Thanks to your generosity, Isabella’s transformation unfolded in mere months. New teeth restored not just her mouth, but her voice and confidence. “I will never forget when you came to take me to the dentist in Jerusalem,” she said. “I hadn’t been outside in a long time—about a year and a half. You gave me new teeth. And now I have the confidence to speak and to smile. I gained a lot of self-esteem because of CBN. It’s a miracle and a blessing for an organization to come in and bless a person’s life. Thank you, CBN.”
