Dear Reader,

You can change a child’s life today.

A generous donor has agreed to give us $1 for every card that we get signed and addressed to a child awaiting life-changing surgery.

If you can take just a few seconds to sign this card for a child who’s awaiting surgery for a cleft lip or cleft palate — a child who is often mocked and ridiculed, unable to attend school, and unlikely to have friends — that child’s life will be changed.

At Operation Smile, we'll do whatever it takes to provide free, life-changing cleft surgery to children in the poorest, most remote corners of the world because we believe every child deserves to smile.

By the end of this month our goal is to collect 12,000 cards — and ultimately $12,000 from a donor who’s agreed to match us $1 for 1 card— for children who are awaiting this surgery.

Before any intervention, eating and even speaking is difficult for children with cleft lip or cleft palate. Without help, they are likely condemned to a life of suffering because their parents cannot afford the necessary surgery.

But with your signature on this card today, you’ll help us reach our goal of raising $12,000 from a generous donor. This $12,000 will allow us to provide a complete surgery for 50 children in some of the poorest corners of the world.

All it takes is a few seconds — you just have to click one of the links in this email, fill out a card for a child awaiting surgery, and that’s it.

We know it will mean so much to them to hear from you.

Before the end of the month, we need to get 12,000 cards signed! With those 12,000 cards, a generous donor will gift us $12,000 and allow 50 children to receive life changing surgery.

Please join us in changing a life today!

With sincere gratitude,

Dr. Bill Magee, Jr.
