I'm so aware I've had a blessed, rich life but I'd like to give something back and so I'm hoping to provide surgery for 30 children with a cleft palate or cleft lip. This operation is carried out by surgeons who donate their time for free, but there are still costs involved. £150 is enough to cover the cost of one operation. Every single pound you can donate really will help me to make a difference to lives of children and their families.

Thank you! Big hugs x x  

For all too many children in countless developing countries, this is a reality. Children and adults with an un-repaired cleft condition live with unimaginable emotional and physical suffering; yet a surgery can take as few as 45 minutes to complete. - since 1982 they have provided over 240,000 free surgeries to those born with a cleft lip or cleft palate and each year we treat over 16,000 people. With more than three decades of expertise, Operation Smile creates solutions that deliver free surgery to people where it’s needed most.
