My name is Marina. I am eleven years old and I have put up this page because this is my way of taking action towards a cause that I have taken an interest in. I did lots of research about clefts and how many kids get bullied because of clefts. I figured that this is the perfect way to get involved and show that I truly care.
Also, I was born with a cleft lip and palate but I was lucky enough to have both repaired before I was a year old. I understand that some kids aren't as lucky as me so I decided to look into what happened to me even further.
Please help me reach my goal of $240 to give one child a new smile like mine.
