July is cleft and craniofacial awareness month, and we need your support in providing FREE medical care for youth who don’t have access to the specialized care they need.
- 1 in 700 kids in the world have cleft and craniofacial differences.
- In low-income countries, 90% of people don’t have access to surgical care, including surgeries for craniofacial differences.
- Facial differences often socially isolate young people, and prevent them from finishing school or finding a job.
- The cost of a single cleft palate and craniofacial surgery is $1,500 that most families cannot afford.
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED: ConnectMed International, is raising money to provide FREE surgeries to 6-8 youth in need of craniofacial surgery. ConnectMed is a non-profit U.S. based organization founded by Dr. Gosman, a board certified plastic surgeon and the chief of the Plastic Surgery Division and Director of Craniofacial Surgery at Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego.
