Rubilet is a 16-year-old student from the Philippines. She lives with her parents and nine siblings. When she is at home, she helps with household chores and loves to read.
Rubilet was born with a cleft lip. This condition causes her to have trouble eating and speaking, and sometimes she gets bullied by other children.
Rubilet will undergo surgery to repair her cleft lip on May 24. This procedure will significantly improve Rubilet’s appearance, quality of life, and ability to eat, breathe, and talk.
Her family needs help raising money. Our medical partner, International Care Ministries, is requesting $58 to fund Rubilet’s cleft lip surgery.
“I am happy for this opportunity and thank you for your help” says Rubilet.
