Have you ever been bullied at school because you were different?
Jeremy Recoco grew up with a big love for chocolates and sweets. His mother often reminded him to stop eating so many and to brush his teeth afterward. But Jeremy didn’t listen.
He knew that his disobedience was causing him pain, and he was teased and laughed at because of his bad breath and decayed teeth.
On top of that, he frequently suffered from toothaches and headaches. Because of this, he often missed school. Jeremy asked his parents for help, and they tried everything they could think of, but nothing seemed to make a difference.
When Jeremy heard that Operation Blessing was coming to his hometown in Albay, he grabbed the chance to get help. A volunteer dentist saw Jeremy’s condition and immediately decided to perform surgery to remove all his decayed teeth.
“I’m so grateful to God for using Operation Blessing and the people involved to help me with my tooth problems,” Jeremy said.
Now, Jeremy is saving up for dentures. He feels relieved that his tooth problems are being fixed and that he’s no longer suffering from excruciating pain.
Sometimes, help comes in unexpected ways. You can also be a blessing to someone in need. Partner with Operation Blessing today!
