Meet Christopher, a sweet one-year-old boy from Haiti! He lives with his mother and father who are both hardworking students. Christopher was born with cleft lip, which has caused him to experience insomnia, breathing difficulties, and flu-like symptoms. Christopher cannot take his mother’s breast or receive any other nutrition through baby bottle. Children like Christopher often die from lack of food because of their cleft lips.
Christopher’s parents are very distraught. Because they are both going to school and unable to work, they do not have the means to afford the surgery.
For $960, we can give Christopher the plastic surgery he needs to live a normal life. This surgery will fix Christopher’s lip deformation and grant him the ability to eat and drink. Let’s help Christopher feed normally!
