Operation Smile^®

As an Independent Consultant with Close To My Heart, I am supporting its partnership with Operation Smile^®, an international non-profit organization that repairs childhood facial deformities.

Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. These facial deformities can result in difficulty speaking, malnourishment, and social ostracism. Operation Smile's mission is to repair cleft lips and cleft palates for children throughout the world, particularly in areas where surgical care is difficult to obtain. It organizes volunteers and resources to aid children, parents, and communities by performing life-saving surgeries and advocating for sustainable healthcare systems.

Through donations of time and money, Operation Smile has provided more than 220,000 free surgical procedures for children and young adults in the last 34 years.

CTMH partnered with Operation Smile to create smiles, change lives, and heal hearts.

You can easily participate in this project by purchasing our special “True Love” stamp set which was specially created to spread our love. It is available until July 31, 2017. The set retails for only $17.95, with $7 going directly to Operation Smile. This 9-piece stamp set can be used at any time, for various occasions.

Another way you can participate is by placing an order on my website. Simply “round up” your order total to the nearest dollar or consider additional contributions in whatever increment you desire.

These are easy ways to support this charity. Your pocket change will make a difference. Remember--Every penny counts!
