“Every child that has a facial difference is our responsibility. If we don’t take care of that child, there’s no guarantee that anyone else will.”
- Kathy Magee, Operation Smile Co-Founder and President
Brunel was born with a cleft lip and while her parents were supportive, she was often teased by other kids. They called her “sima,” or cleft, instead of her name. Her parents worried about her future and concerned about her health. Then, they heard about Operation Smile on the radio and were thrilled to find out Brunel could receive a free surgery to give her a new smile and new future.
Today, after surgery Brunel is healthy, happy and loves going to school. Thanks to a generous donor, now through GivingTuesday, your donation will be matched up to $1,584,000. Give today to provide twice as many safe surgeries that will change the lives of twice as many children.
