Ava is fundraising to get a beautiful smile.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Ava is neally 11 years old and needs your help. She attends Otumoetai Primary in Tauranga Ava was born with a couple health conditions one being born with no amniotic fluid and extremely premature and the other a epilepsy diagnosis. Ava is a beautiful caring sensitive girl who needs help with her smile she has the worst overbite and finds it hard to even close her mouth eating is hard because of this She is constantly picked on and bullied because of her teeth and often says she's depressed because of it and she hates the way she looks..No child should ever feel like this.. We have found a orthodontist in Tauranga who will do the treatment but it comes at a cost of approx $9500 then retainers there after. We are asking for your help every dollar counts. As you can see Ava needs a beautiful smile . We do not qualify for wish for a smile sadly.. We can only do so much so are asking for your help to achieve this for Ava any amount will be greatly appreciated. Regular updates will be added and information from othordontic will be uploaded after her appointment next week.

Use of funds

Orthodontic treatment via Smileart in Tauranga. Braces fitted and retainers and all work that will be required.

Hi everyone   1 December 2025

Here is a update so far of how Ava's teeth are looking. They are incredible and it's nice to see her smiling. Thanks to all my generous donators we could not have done this without you all. Also huge thanks to smile art in Tauranga. Muthina and her team are awesome. Merry Christmas to you all. I'm so excited to see what the next part of this journey will look like. Thanks Ava.
