Little did our finalist in the Deserving Diva Makeover Contest know that today would be the day that would change their lives forever.
It started out with an idea that transformed into over 25o nominations telling us who you thought our "Deserving Diva" should be. We didn't take these stories lightly, we read every nomination we received and even shed some tears along with hopeful nominees.
Today, we invited four ladies to come into our office for a final interview.. or so they thought! Suwanee Dental Care was originally planning for just one Deserving Diva but we were so compelled by these four ladies, that Dr. Williams, along with the Suwanee Dental Care Staff making over all four!
In our last blog we told you who was partnering with us to make these ladies over from head to toe! Now it's finally time to reveal WHO we are making over!
First we have Heather.. she is a wonderful and very deserving of this makeover. She says her smile makeover will be a dream come true! After loosing a significant amount of weight and starting to take care of herself again she said this smile makeover will be the finishing touch. Today Heather thought she was coming in for her final interview and we had the chance to tell her live on camera that she was one of our "Deserving Diva's"! Heather is involved in all kinds of local charities and ministries and is an active part of a missions ministry that travels all over internationally. She is in sales and is also very excited to have a renewed confidence through this smile makeover. Videos and blogging to to come! Stay tuned to see Heather's close up before pictures!
Second we have our Diva, Patti.. she is a Gwinnett County school teacher and has been self conscious of her teeth her whole life. Patti also thought she was coming in today for a final interview, we can't wait to show you footage of her reaction on camera when she too was told "You are the Suwanee Dental Care Deserving Diva"! Patti has always wanted this and tells us she covers her mouth when she smiles or laughs. This smile makeover is going to dramatically change Patti's life forever! She had
many people nominate her for this contest and has more of a story to share..
Our third Diva is Debra, she is a survivor of domestic violence. When she came in today she was sharing more of her story with us and it was just incredible. Debra has not only survived but she helps other women conquer and survive their own domestic violence situation. She is everything from a radio personality to a life coach. She was over joyed when we told her that he smile would be restored! She shared with us that her smile was something she lost for a long time but she has found it again and is ready to have the confidence to share it with the world!
Last but certainly not least is Gwendolyn. She is not only a nurse but a speaker for causes such as HIV prevention and other causes that are beyond commendable. She has been recognized with many accolades in her career for volunteering her time and giving back to her community. Gwendolyn is so excited to have her smile made over. She shared with us that it's something she has always been self conscious about. She came in all the way from South GA to what she thought was still a part of the elimination process. Instead she was met with the news that she was (also) a Deserving Diva! Her daughters joined her today and had a precious moment as Gwendolyn then was able to share with them her surprise!
We are so honored to be sharing the Deserving Diva Contest with you and these amazing ladies. Stay tuned for more blogging, story sharing, face booking, video footage and even photos!
