Samora Legros is an advisory manager, advocate, and board member of the Max & Thérèse Cadet Dental Fund, Inc. In this powerful episode, Samora and fellow board members share how a family legacy has grown into a 33-year commitment to improving oral healthcare in Haiti. From mobile dental clinics and maxillofacial surgeries to supporting the next generation of Haitian dentists, this is a story of service, strategy, and impact. You don’t have to be a dentist to support public health—you just have to care.
How You Can Help
The Max & Thérèse Cadet Dental Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the U.S. that raises funds to directly support operations at the dental clinic in Haiti. These funds pay for essential procedures, dental supplies, equipment upgrades, and full maxillofacial surgeries for those who could not otherwise afford care. Contributions of any amount make an impact, and monthly giving provides consistent support for this vital work.
“We are small, but boy, we carry the mountains of Haiti,” expresses Jessie Cadet-Legros in Episode 192 of You Are a Lawyer.Lawyers and legal professionals can support the Cadet Dental Fund in unique ways: through strategic networking, pro bono consulting, fundraising, and amplifying the foundation’s story. Whether by contributing financially or helping to widen the circle of support, advocates of all backgrounds—and especially those with legal skills—can play a key role in sustaining the clinic’s mission.
