The pensioner and the dentist

Astrid's pension covers rent and food. Barely. Then the dentist said 8,000 kronor. She skipped it for a year.

Astrid is 71 in Sweden. With only 400 kronor left over each month, an 8,000 kronor dental bill was impossible. She lived in pain for a year until the tooth broke.

Our micro-grants help older women pay for emergency dental and healthcare without losing their dignity.
