Dentist lives on $1,000 a month to fund Afghanistan dental project
An 84-year-old dentist in Santa Barbara, California, lives on $1,000 a month in order to focus his attention on the Afghanistan Dental Relief Project, which provides free dental care for all Afghan people.
"I’m not sacrificing, I’m just living the way I feel is important to live. I’m not needing to have a fancy house, I just need a place to sleep and something to eat, so I’ve been able to lower my needs to less than $1,000 a month," said James Rolfe, D.D.S. "I grow almost all of my own produce in my own garden."
Dr. Rolfe finances humanitarian efforts worldwide, which began after a visit to Afghanistan.
