Bridging the Gap for Cleft Care

Not every child born with a cleft gets the care they deserve. Let’s change that.

Our son Casey was born with a cleft lip and palate. Thanks to world-class care at CHOP and a strong support system, he’s had two successful surgeries and is thriving. But many families—here and around the world—don’t have access to the same life-changing treatment.

That’s why we’re raising money for two organizations doing extraordinary work to help those families:

Iskra – Founded by Casey’s surgeon, Dr. Oksana Jackson, Iskra delivers free cleft surgeries and trains local doctors in war-torn Ukraine. Dr. Jackson is a renowned leader in global cleft care, awarded Ukraine’s Order of Merit for her humanitarian missions and saving lives where resources are scarce.

Philly Phaces – A grassroots nonprofit supporting individuals with facial differences through mentorship, advocacy, and community programs. Their work helps families feel seen, supported, and empowered during the hardest parts of their journeys.

We’ve been blessed—and now we want to help bless others. Every dollar donated is split evenly between Iskra and Philly Phaces.

If Casey’s story moved you, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every dollar you donate directly helps children with clefts and facial differences.
