I sang "Hallelujah" this year 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 differences.

When I was in medical school I had the good fortune to travel with Operation Smile on a medical mission trip to China, where we helped dozens of children with cleft lip and palate to regain their health and dignity through cleft care.

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.

Thank you for your consideration and for spreading good vibes! If you haven't yet heard my cover of Hallelujah dedicated to this cause, you can listen to Hallelujah here.
