Smile for ME is a childrens surgical charity that is dedicated to helping improve the lives of children in the Philippines born with cleft lip & cleft palate deformity
Smile for ME is a not for profit surgical charity run by the team of volunteers that undertake the surgical mission because we are passionate about helping the children in the Philippines. As we manage the charity every dollar donated goes towards the surgical mission.
The Children
Elias
3 year old Elias stole our hearts with his cheeky grin on our 1st day of screening. He came for a cleft lip repair in 2024 & will return for a cleft palate repair in 2025.
Lovely Jean
9 year old Lovely Jean had a Cleft Lip repair with the Team in 2024 & will return in 2025 for her Cleft Palate repair.
Jake
4 year old Jake has an infectious smile & is 1 of the children we will always remember. We did his Cleft Lip repair in 2018 & then his CleftPalate repair in 2019.
Christian
8 year old Christian came to see us in 2019 for a repair of Facial Cleft. As the cleft was so significant it needed to be repaired over several stages. It was a delight to meet Christian & his family. We hope to continue to support him during his surgeries.
