Adonis is a five-year-old boy from the Philippines. He lives with his parents and six siblings. During the day, he loves to play with his siblings and friends.
Adonis was born with a cleft lip and palate. His condition causes him to have difficulty eating and speaking, and he sometimes gets bullied by other children.
Adonis needs surgery to repair his cleft lip. Surgeons will connect the muscles of the soft palate and rearrange the tissues to close the cleft. This will significantly improve Adonis’s appearance, quality of life, and ability to eat, breathe, and talk.
Our medical partner, International Care Ministries, is requesting $58 to fund Adonis’s cleft lip surgery.
“I am hoping that Adonis will have successful surgery and that he will grow normal,” says Adonis’s mother.
