At Caring for Clefts foundation, we are dedicated to fostering a confident and empowered cleft community. Our mission is to support individuals and families affected by clefts through three core initiatives: Supplies, Financing, Community Involvement.
Through these initiatives, we aim to create a brighter, more inclusive future, where every person affected by a cleft has the opportunity to lead a life filled with confidence, possibility, and support.

Our Why
I started this journey with a heartfelt mission. My granddaughter, Lavayah, was born with a cleft lip and palate, which opened my eyes to the challenges families face. Supporting my son and daughter-in-law as they navigate these issues has been a challenge and a calling for me.
