Hola friends and family! Instead of having a wedding registry or accepting presents, we as a family decided to raise money for Operation Smile – a global medical nonprofit organization that provides free surgeries for children around the world born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.
Marisol, our beautiful 10 year old daughter, was born with both cleft lip and palate. She was fortunate to have multiple surgeries and the specialists to care for her, and has grown up to be smart, creative and active.
Many other families can't afford the surgery they desperately need. In many places, children with cleft conditions are abandoned or abused. Many times they have trouble eating and drinking and can struggle to survive. Those that do can face a lifetime of shame and torment.
They need our help.
Will you help us bring hope and new smiles to children suffering from facial deformities by supporting our fundraising goal?
For as little as $240 and in as few as 45 minutes, Operation Smile can provide life-changing surgery – and renewed hope – for children around the world. Please, consider making your tax-deductible gift today and help us renew the smiles of at least 10 other kids like Marisol.
