To pay for the costs, Por1sorriso accepts donations through the 'Smile Solidarity' program and hosts regular fund-raising events.

"I didn't do dentistry to take care of teeth, but to take care of people," Rossi said.

 

"Awakening smiles, without business relationship, just for love, connects us with something bigger. One day, [a] smile will be for everyone and tears will fall with joy, just for being able to smile."
