Full Donor List
Every 3 minutes, a child is born somewhere in the world with a cleft lip or cleft palate. As few as 7 percent of children living with an unrepaired cleft condition could survive to reach late adolescence. Those who survive may have difficulty eating, speaking, hearing or breathing properly. In some places, they are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford the surgeries they need to live a productive life.
That's where Operation Smile comes in as the largest volunteer-based medical charity providing free cleft surgeries in low- and middle-income countries. Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults through the selfless dedication of our medical volunteers from around the world. Their work creates a lasting global impact. Operation Smile also trains local doctors in developing countries and strengthens health care systems so more children in some of the poorest areas of the world can be treated.
I believe that every child deserves access to safe, quality surgical care and am excited to support Operation Smile's International Student Leadership Conference at Wake Forest University this month. Please join me in supporting this great charity and reaching my goal of providing 10 surgeries for children! In as little as 45 minutes, a cleft lip surgery can change a child's life forever. How many lives can we change together?
