Did you know that every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Knowing this, the Southern Coast JJMT surgery FSO has joined Operation Smile to assist those children who are unable to receive the medical care they need.

Many of these children require multiple surgeries to be able to smile, not to mention avoid bullying and social isolation. It’s not just the aesthetics of a smile; many children who are born with cleft lip/pallet are unable to even latch on to their mother in order to eat.

These children struggle to thrive, to eat, to drink and to be accepted like others. For these children, treatment brings hope and transformation.

For every $80 raised via the Southern Coast JJMT surgery FSO contributes to the JNJ Operation Smile 2:1 match we can provide a life changing surgery that will start creating a smile on a child and renewed hope for children around the world.

A smile changes everything!
