Dear Friends,
In light of the recent devastating fires in the Palisades, Eaton, and other parts of Southern California, our hearts are with every individual and family affected. The magnitude of these disasters is overwhelming, and as neighbors to Los Angeles County we know too well the dread of wildfires.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the firefighters, first responders, and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to protect lives and property. Your bravery and selflessness are an inspiration to us all.
We understand the emotional and physical toll that these fires have caused. We want you to know that we stand with you. Our organization is here to offer support in any way we can. If you have been displaced by the fires and developed dental issues needing care, we can provide information on accessing free or low-cost dental care in the Inland Empire at community clinics or dental school clinics.
To those who have lost homes, loved ones, or livelihoods, please accept our heartfelt condolences. While there may be little we can offer to make you whole again, reach out if there is something we can do.
If you wish to contribute to the relief efforts, please consider donating to reputable organizations working on the ground. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of those affected.
Stay strong, stay safe, and remember that you are not alone. Together, we will rise from these ashes and emerge even stronger.
With solidarity and hope,
The Dental Institute
