🦷✨ Happy National Tooth Fairy Day! ✨🦷
The Tooth Fairy might be magical, but healthy smiles start with real-life habits — even for our tiniest kiddos!
Here are a few tooth truths for infants and toddlers:
👶 Start wiping baby’s gums with a soft cloth after feedings — even before teeth come in!
🍼 Avoid putting baby to bed with a bottle to prevent early tooth decay
🪥 Once teeth appear, brush twice a day with a soft brush and just a tiny smear of toothpaste
👧 First dental visit = by age 1 or when the first tooth comes in
Teaching good oral hygiene early sets the stage for strong, healthy smiles for life! 😁
Got questions about baby teeth care? We’re here to help.
📲 Text us at 660.395.8099 or stop by Ray of Hope for support and resources!

🎗 World Breast Cancer Research Day | August 18 🎗
Today, we honor the strength of every woman who has faced breast cancer — and we recognize the power of research in bringing hope, healing, and better outcomes.
Because of continued research:
🔬 Diagnoses are happening earlier
💊 Treatments are becoming more effective
💗 Survivors are living longer, fuller lives
At Ray of Hope, we stand with survivors, support fighters, and believe in the power of knowledge and prevention.
👉 Remember: Early detection saves lives. Know your risk. Know the signs. Get checked.
To all the brave women and families touched by breast cancer — you are not alone. We see you. We support you. We stand with you. 💕

Testimonial Tuesday 💬
Sometimes showing up takes courage. This mom came to one of our cooking classes unsure of what to expect — nervous about being judged. But instead, she was met with kindness, warmth, and community. 💛
Her words remind us why we do what we do:
✨ "It made me want to go back to church."
At Ray of Hope, every person is welcome — no matter your story, no matter your background. You belong here. 🤝
