We are thankful that postal activities have resumed. And we are incredibly grateful to all of you who have supported us by donating online or calling our toll-free number.
Postal activity has resumed, but the ripple effects continue. What does that mean for the children in our care?
- Since the strike began, a significant gap between the funds we planned to raise and the gifts that have been received has been steadily growing.
- While you can now send donations through the mail, please make sure you mail it before December 31st to ensure you receive your 2024 tax credit.
- We are committed to helping over 25,000 children who are scheduled to receive surgery and comprehensive cleft care from January to March, on time – but we need your generous help to keep our promises to the children. Your gift through December 31st will also be matched.
Your generosity ensures that children born with cleft conditions, who need our care from the moment they are born, continue to receive the life-changing surgeries and support they deserve.
Thank you for standing with us and making a difference, no matter the challenges. Together, we are giving the gift of a brighter smile and a better future.
Your gift today can directly impact a child awaiting care. By giving securely online or over the phone, your generosity reaches patients without delay.
