World Cleft Awareness Day

Today, we come together to raise awareness, celebrate our cleft community, and honor the incredible strength of every child and family touched by cleft.

A cleft journey is filled with courage, love, challenges, and beautiful milestones. Every smile tells a story of resilience, every family deserves support, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

At Cleft Family Support Foundation, we are proud to stand alongside cleft families, provide support, share resources, and build a community where no family feels alone.

Today and every day, we celebrate our cleft warriors, their amazing families, and the strength of our community.

Together, we create awareness. Together, we spread hope. Together, we support cleft families.

With love,
Cleft Family Support Foundation

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Cleft Family Community Day in Fayetteville!
This event brought together our generous supporters, volunteers, and community members who make the CFSP mission possible. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring families together, build connections, share resources, and raise awareness about cleft conditions.
During the event, Alina Gamaleeva, Founder and President of CFSP, shared updates on the organization’s mission, accomplishments, and future plans. We were also pleased to introduce the Free Trial Support Program for Expecting Parents in Georgia, which includes our Cleft Bottle Support Program and provides practical support and resources to families affected by cleft.
Guests also viewed a special video message from Mary Lee Mami Besos , who shared her personal cleft journey and the experiences that shaped her path.
In addition, we highlighted The Sparkle You Carry by Stacy Swope , a heartfelt children’s book written by a mother of a child with cleft, sharing a personal cleft journey to support families, increase understanding, and provide encouragement to those affected by cleft lip and palate. Following the event, the book will be donated to a local library to help make these resources accessible to more families in our community.
We are deeply grateful to everyone in our community who attended this special event and to the supporters who continue to show up for our cleft families every day.
Anyone can help support our mission at Cleft Family Support Foundation.
