As some of you may know, the day Tyler was born, Tony and I found out that he had a cleft lip and a small gum notch. At first we were overwhelmed, as it was unexpected. We were so BLESSED to find out that his palate was fully formed, and it was only his lip. The doctors told us that he may have some obstacles with eating, but to the everyone's surprise, he did great right from the beginning!
We love Tyler so so much and would never wish to change anything about him. We love his cleft and his bright smile. He is such a blessing to our family and we can already see his determined and tough spirit. Tyler is fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get a surgery to fix his lip so that he can live a normal, happy and healthy life! However, this condition is very common in all places around the world, and there are so many children that do not have the ability to get their smile fixed due to limited resources.
Fixing one cleft lip and palate can be done with the help volunteer doctors and only about $250. This surgery can drastically change the life of these children and their parents. After going through all of this, I could only image what it is like to be a parent of a child with a cleft lip/palate and know you do not have the resources to help them. As a family, we are asking if you can please donate ANYTHING you can in Tyler's name, so that when Tyler gets his surgery, another little boy or girl somewhere around the world is able to get theirs too. It would mean the world to Tony and I, but most importantly Tyler. =)
