I have decided to join 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.
Having personally experienced the physical and emotional demands of living with a cleft lip/palate, I understand the unique challenges and obstacles it can present. From undergoing surgeries and treatments to facing societal stigmas and personal insecurities, the journey can be physically and emotionally taxing. However, these experiences have fueled my determination to make a positive contribution to society.
Through my journey, I have gained resilience, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the power of support and community. I am driven to use my experiences to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and empower individuals with cleft conditions.
Volunteering with organizations like Smile Train, specifically their Young Leadership Circle, is a way for me to give back and contribute to the well-being of others. By sharing my story, offering support, and advocating for comprehensive cleft care, I hope to inspire and make a tangible difference in the lives of children and families facing similar challenges. I am grateful for the opportunity to channel my experiences into something meaningful and to be part of a larger movement that aims to create a more inclusive and compassionate culture.
Thank you for supporting my fundraiser with Smile Train!
