Maribel is a single mother of three who faced the daunting challenge of financial hardship due to a severely infected tooth which prevented her from working and caring for her children. Earning less the $20,000 a year, Maribel was unable to afford the dental care she so desperately needed. With support from Arlington Thrive and Arlington Free Clinic, she received emergency dental care and was able to save her infected tooth through a root canal treatment. Maribel was able to return to work and is now smiling again.
