Sometimes a writer just needs to let the pictures tell the story.
For our 40th anniversary, we're thanking people for their support. Your gift literally created tears of joy.

We are most known for free surgeries for children, but the impact on mothers and fathers is equally profound. This is a thank you note for the beautiful moments you made possible.

The greatest gift some mothers will ever see is a life-changing surgery for their child. Your kindness was more than a donation. It was an end to bullying. An end to health problems. A new beginning to a brighter future.

A child is born with a cleft condition every three minutes, so our work is ongoing and badly needed.
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we're already planning our 50th. You can read about our Next Decade Plan, and our goal of reaching 1 million patients, here. To sum it up briefly, we will provide even more cleft surgeries and lasting care in underserved areas. The lives of more children and their parents will be changed forever, and yes, there will be more tears of joy.
Thanks for joining us in changing lives for the better all around the world.
