As many of my friends know, I was born with several birth defects. One of which was a cleft palate. I was spared the cleft lip and can't imagine having to go through life with one.
I would like to challenge you to help me change one child's life forever and give them a smile.
How to Transform a Life!
Over 200,000 children are born with cleft lip or cleft palate in developing countries each year. Can you imagine what these children go through? The abuse they endure.
The tears they cry. They struggle to speak, to eat and are outcasts – sometimes abandoned by their families. In as little as 45 minutes, for only $240, a life can be transformed. Since its founding, Operation Smile has treated more than 100,000 children born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. In addition to contributing free medical treatment, Operation Smile trains local medical professionals in its 25 partner countries and leaves behind crucial equipment to lay the groundwork for long-term self-sufficiency.
