“I’m STARVING!” are exactly the words that came out of my
mouth after missing my usual breakfast and having to wait until lunch for my
first meal of the day. However, those
words have taken on new meaning to me after this past weekend. I spent the day with the Collins Orthodontics Team (and their families) on a Saturday, where we all pitched in to help a
non-profit organization called “Feed my Starving Children” to serve children
who truly understand the meaning of the word “starving” far greater than me. Our staff and their children spent the day hand-packing
meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. This organization had
reached nearly 70 countries around the world, where a single bag of food provides
nutritious meals for six children and costs only $1.32 to produce. Although I LOVE what I do - braces, invisalign, and providing people with amazing smiles - it really is moments of service that mean the most to me. The times that are most humbling and rewarding for our team at Collins Orthodontics is when we have opportunities like this to serve
side-by-side with other wonderful volunteers in our community. That being said, I leave you with an
inspiring quote by Albert Einstein: “Only a life lived in the service to others
is a life worth living.” God Bless. -Dr. Collins
