<div>Hi everyone! My name is Mae and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Abounding in Love Inc</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>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.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every child deserves the chance to smile, eat, speak, and live without shame or pain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because “free surgery” is only part of the journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For families living in poverty, the hidden costs can make surgery impossible:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Transportation to and from medical mission sites
</div>
<div>Temporary accommodation during screening and surgery
</div>
<div>Daily meals for patients and their guardians 
</div>
<div>Local travel assistance
</div>
<div>Medical mission coordination and family support
</div>
<div>Follow-up care assistance
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is where Abounding in Love Organization steps in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout the year, our dedicated team in the Philippines works tirelessly to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ Identify children in remote and underserved communities
</div>
<div>❤️ Connect families with trusted surgical mission partners
</div>
<div>❤️ Provide transportation and accommodation
</div>
<div>❤️ Supply meals and daily necessities during missions
</div>
<div>❤️ Offer emotional support and guidance to parents
</div>
<div>❤️ Coordinate logistics before, during, and after surgery
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of this support, children who once hid their faces can smile confidently for the first time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Parents who once felt hopeless finally see their children given a new future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we cannot do this alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will help sustain Abounding in Love’s year-round operations, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Program coordination across the Philippines
</div>
<div>Transportation assistance for patient families
</div>
<div>Housing and meals during medical missions
</div>
<div>Community outreach and patient identification
</div>
<div>Operational support for our local staff who serve families every day
</div>
<div>Emergency needs that arise during mission care
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation does more than fund a program.
</div>
<div>It helps carry a child to surgery, comforts a worried parent, and helps transform a life forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No amount is too small.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar helps remove one more barrier between a Filipino child and the smile they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate today and share this campaign with your family and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can help more children smile again.
