I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Smile Train's Young Leadership Circle Board and fundraise for Smile Train to help provide smiles to children in need. Smile Train is an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip and palate.
Being born with a cleft lip myself, I was lucky enough to have access to a great surgeon who did my reconstructive surgery when I was a baby. My surgeon told my parents about Smile Train, where he traveled the world to help repair cleft lips and palates for less fortunate children.
Many children with clefts around the world live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. Smile Train's sustainable model provides training, funding, and resources to empower local doctors in 70+ countries to provide lifesaving surgeries and other essential cleft care to their neighbors in need, 100% free.
Thank you for supporting my fundraiser with Smile Train – together we can change the world one smile at a time!
