What comes to mind? A perfectly-seasoned steak? Wonderfully crispy fried chicken? Tacos bursting with color and flavor? That one dish your grandmother used to make that you can\u2019t find anywhere? Now, imagine that in order to eat any of them, you had to put the food in a blender, set it to high, and drink the resulting mush. Doesn\u2019t sound very appetizing, does it?<\/em> Sadly, this was an everyday reality for Sharon Tillotta<\/a>, a Pasadena woman who was missing almost all of her teeth, rendering her unable to effectively chew anything. She simply couldn\u2019t afford to get the dental work she desperately needed, and that\u2019s when our own Dr. Steve Koo<\/a> decided to reach out and help.\r\n

So, like many, she learned to just work around her failing teeth, blending her food every morning before taking care of her husband. She eventually reached out to Bill Spencer of \u201cSpencer Solves It,\u201d and the investigative reporter connected her with a dentist who was willing to donate everything she needed, Dr. Terri Alani. But, there was just one problem.\r\n\r\n
