MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Non-profit organization, Fostering Hope Louisiana, has selected three children from Monroe to receive free braces. They are in need of donors to pay for each child’s procedure.


The cost for each procedure will be $4,950.


The founder and executive director of the organization, Leslie Lacy, said their mission is to improve the mental health of foster children by providing free dental care.


“It’s much easier to invite a young person to an orthodontic treatment than to a counseling session,” said Lacy.
