Help Two Teens Raise Money for MMFC
Support life changing medical procedures for children
Alexia and Ava O’Donnell have been volunteers for MMFC for a few years. The two teens began their volunteer experience in the MMFC office, helping to pack medical supplies for the missions, volunteering at fundraising events and collecting stuffed animals to give to the children.
In June 2023, they had an opportunity to join the MMFC mission to Guatemala. Based on their experience in June 2024 and a subsequent visit in January 2024, the teens decided that if they could raise money for medical equipment for the hospital in Guatemala – then they could help hundreds, if not thousands of children for many years to come.
These young women have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to buy medical equipment. Please read about their experiences, then DONATE!
What is cleft lip & palate and why is it so prevalent in certain areas?
Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby’s face and mouth don’t fuse properly. Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy. But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft).
