Pam's dental care, to date has consisted of a thorough, deep cleaning, removing several of her bad teeth and she actually had 9 root canals in one visit! We are able to save many of her teeth and are currently in the process of making her new smile!

Here are letters sent in by Pam's friends, nominating her for Project Smile By Bond!

Hello,

My name is Lisa, and Pam is my best friend. Yes, there are things people do to deserve a special chance at something but I think that Pam is different. She is always without a second thought there for you or your friend if there is a need. She is a caretaker, driven by the thought that she needs to be of helpful assistance whatever it maybe. She faced terrible family crisis when her mother died and then again a year later when her stepmother died. She had stepped up to the plate in both instances and did what needed to be done. She is constantly with customers from her work after house on her own time helping with what they need be it just to talk or to help with their medicines. She is a comfort. She is a mother of three who adore her. She is always there for them, I have never seen her turn down a moment to be there for her kids who are all grown and still count on her. Pam is a very special person.

Lisa

I don't know how many times she has said to me "I wish I had a beautiful smile like everyone else." Pam is a woman in her forties. I feel it would be so wonderful for her to live the rest of her life with a great smile. I work for Dr. Raleigh, I feel what your doing is really great. Pam would be a great candidate. She has some upcoming events. One in particular is her step mom is up for re-election of Senate in Alaska. She has asked Pam to help out. She will be on T.V. Thank you for giving Pam the opportunity to apply. I know who ever you choose will be very happy. I think your doing a great thing.

To Whom It May Concern:

I write this in regards to the nomination of Pam Hance for a smile makeover. Throughout the nearly four years I've known her, I've seen her unreservedly and without hesitation offer her support and assistance to all those who cross her path on both personal and community level. Her assistance comes in a variety of forms, from a simple hug, a hospital visit, nearly full-time care of multiple elderly neighbors, volunteering with fund-raising evens such as the Milk Carton Derby, or even organizing and helping oversee neighborhood community building programs that were recognized and commended by the mayor of Kent. In addition to all this, she has many more events coming up that she should be able to smile about, but is unfortunately too self-conscious to do so. She has been asked to assist on the campaign trial for an Alaska state senator. She is going to be soon celebrating the birth of her second grandchild. She is helping run a neighborhood barbeque cook-off. I can't begin to remember all the other-directed activities that Pam is involved with. All of this activity is on a volunteer basis, and all of this is in addition to her full-time employment and family obligations. Pam is action oriented and actively pursues avenues that seek to aid and comfort all. It is beyond simple well wishing and a compassionate comment that most might give; Pam does where others simply talk. This service to others is extraordinary, and unfortunately, under recognized. Pam brings smiles to those she encounters on a regular basis and, from my perspective; it's high time that a welcome smile was brought to her. Pam should be able to radiate back the joy that she evokes in others, and I believe that your makeover opportunity could provide it.

To Whom It May Concern:

Pam is a wonderful person who is always helping others. The past few years she has to deal with the passing of several different family members. She is always willing to help in the neighborhood and is on a neighborhood building committee. Pam works for a pharmacy in West Seattle. She helps people fill their medication, but rarely likes to smile because of her teeth. She never could afford to have them fixed, but Pam truly does deserve a chance for a beautiful smile to with a wonderful person and great attitude.

Thank you Perry Eash

To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to nominate Pamela Hance for your fantastic dental makeover. She has worked for me for over eight years and has shown to be a very caring a conscientious employee. Our business as a community pharmacy, by definition means more than just filling prescriptions. When a client hurts or really needs someone to talk to, Pam is 1st in line. On many occasions, she has taken them outside to talk in private; she gives out angels and notes to so many clients. We all need "recognition", as so appropriately spoken by John Curley, the host of evening magazine, at a recent speech. Pam has given everyone that has graced our business that openness of recognition and caring. She feels that fixing her teeth with help her feel like a better person. She rarely smiles because she feels so self-conscious about her teeth. She should feel able to return the smiles that she brings about in others without hesitation.

Thank you, Michael Ng, Pharm.D.
