Restore a Child’s Smile During CURE’s Smile Challenge

Help Provide 500 Life-Changing Surgeries by May 31

Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or palate. Without treatment, this condition can affect their ability to eat, speak, and be fully accepted in their community.

Across CURE’s permanent network of children’s hospitals in Africa and the Philippines, children receive surgical care in places where it would otherwise be unavailable due to location or cost. Each child receives the physical healing they need on the outside, while each family experiences the spiritual care they need on the inside.

Cleft surgery restores a child’s ability to eat, speak, and live with dignity. At the same time, families are cared for, encouraged, and introduced to the hope of the gospel, often for the first time.

The need is great, and the mission to provide surgery and share Jesus is already happening every day inside CURE hospitals. Our operating rooms are ready, our surgeons are prepared, and children are waiting for the surgical care they need to restore their smiles.

That is why we are launching the CURE Smile Challenge to fund 500 cleft surgeries by May 31.

A gift of $1,000 sponsors one cleft surgery, helping a child receive treatment and experience the compassionate, Christ-centered care provided at CURE. When you give during the Smile Challenge, your gift goes even further through our partnership with Smile Train, which provides a portion of the funds for every cleft surgery CURE completes.

Here is what your Smile Challenge gift can do specifically:

• A gift of any amount helps bring a child closer to surgery
• $1,000 sponsors one life-changing cleft surgery
• $2,000 provides surgery for two children
• $5,000 helps more children receive the full care they need to heal and thrive

Every gift moves us closer to reaching more children with the care they need.

Would you step forward during CURE’s Smile Challenge to help fund 500 surgeries by May 31?

Each gift helps ensure more children receive surgeries to restore their smiles and the love of Jesus to restore their hearts.

    Your gift will go even further thanks to our generous partner, Smile Train, which provides a portion of the funds for every cleft surgery CURE completes.

A cleft lip is a split in the upper lip, and a cleft palate is a gap in the roof of the mouth. When a child is born with a cleft lip or palate, the ramifications are more than cosmetic. They can be sad, scary, and life-shattering in the areas of the world where we serve.

Together with CURE, friends like you are healing kids with cleft conditions, sharing the love of Jesus with them and their families, and filling them with hope.
