Abounding in Love Inc

Hi everyone! My name is Mae and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

Abounding in Love Inc

Abounding in Love's primary mission is to "bridge the gap" so that Filipinos can receive cleft lip and/or palate surgery without financial burden or risk. We support Filipino kids with cleft before, during, and after surgery, by providing nutritional assistance, free transportation and lodging during the surgery, and follow-up support.

Every child deserves the chance to smile, eat, speak, and live without shame or pain.

In the Philippines, many children are born with cleft lip and cleft palate conditions. While generous international medical organizations such as Rotaplast International, Operation Rainbow Australia, and Faces of Tomorrow provide free surgeries during medical missions, many Filipino families still cannot access this life-changing care.

Why?

Because “free surgery” is only part of the journey.

For families living in poverty, the hidden costs can make surgery impossible:

Transportation to and from medical mission sites

Temporary accommodation during screening and surgery

Daily meals for patients and their guardians

Local travel assistance

Medical mission coordination and family support

Follow-up care assistance

This is where Abounding in Love Organization steps in.

Abounding in Love bridges the gap between free surgical care and the families who desperately need it. We ensure that no child is denied surgery simply because their family cannot afford the cost of getting there.

Throughout the year, our dedicated team in the Philippines works tirelessly to:

❤️ Identify children in remote and underserved communities

❤️ Connect families with trusted surgical mission partners

❤️ Provide transportation and accommodation

❤️ Supply meals and daily necessities during missions

❤️ Offer emotional support and guidance to parents

❤️ Coordinate logistics before, during, and after surgery

Because of this support, children who once hid their faces can smile confidently for the first time.

Parents who once felt hopeless finally see their children given a new future.

But we cannot do this alone.

This fundraiser will help sustain Abounding in Love’s year-round operations, including:

Program coordination across the Philippines

Transportation assistance for patient families

Housing and meals during medical missions

Community outreach and patient identification

Operational support for our local staff who serve families every day

Emergency needs that arise during mission care

Your donation does more than fund a program.

It helps carry a child to surgery, comforts a worried parent, and helps transform a life forever.

No amount is too small.

Every dollar helps remove one more barrier between a Filipino child and the smile they deserve.

Please donate today and share this campaign with your family and friends.

Together, we can help more children smile again.

Abounding in Love  is primarily known for assisting Filipino children with cleft, but our mission extends far beyond that. We seek to free disadvantaged people from the grips of poverty and despair with life-changing acts of kindness. Following the devastation of Super Typhoon Odette, we feel it's our responsibility to help those who were affected.

The typhoon ripped through the Philippines on December 16 with wind speeds of up to 160mph. It claimed over 400 lives and left thousands homeless. The damage estimates are currently $1.02 billion, making it the second-costliest storm in Philippine history. It passed directly over our facility in Cebu and many of the families that we support lost their homes completely or, at the very least, suffered severe damage to their modest houses. Some of them lost everything, even worse, they lack the resources to recover from the devastation.

We are asking for your support with our relief efforts (budget details below). We are actively providing food, water, shelter, and financial assistance to the survivors; we will also be constructing small, strong homes to replace those that were lost. In short, we’re giving hope to the hopeless. No one deserves to start the new year this way…but we have an opportunity to change that. I like to think that we’ve all got a little hope to share.

 

Abounding in Love is a very small non-profit organization from Jenison, MI. We simply can’t do this alone. Please join us on this mission. As always, 100% of your donations will go directly to this cause; we NEVER recoup any administrative costs from our donors. Every dollar is too important. If you are not able to contribute financially, you can still help by spreading the word to friends, family, and co-workers. Seriously, that would be amazing! The only way we can make this happen is if we all work together.
