Bitcoin Smiles Story: Raúl. Read his story on Bitcoin Smiles and help us to raise more funds for free dental care

20 years ago Raúl had a traffic accident in which he almost lost his right arm. He had reconstructive surgery on his shoulder and had the joint replaced, but he could never recover its functionality of it.

For years he had problems with his teeth and 5 years ago his last molar was extracted. Thanks to Bitcoin, he has been able to rehabilitate himself with his complete dentures.
