<div><strong>Support Dr. Marotta’s Annual HUGS Medical Mission</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each year, Dr. James Marotta steps away from his busy practice on Long Island to serve a much greater purpose - providing life-changing surgical care to patients in need through HUGS, Inc. in Antigua, Guatemala.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This mission is more than just medicine—it’s hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through HUGS, Inc., Dr. Marotta and a team of dedicated medical professionals volunteer their time and expertise to treat children and adults born with cleft lip and palate deformities—conditions that not only affect appearance, but also the ability to eat, speak, and live without stigma. For many of these patients, this mission is their only opportunity to receive care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In just a matter of days, lives are transformed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But these missions rely heavily on donations to cover essential costs—medical supplies, surgical equipment, medications, travel, and accommodations for the volunteer team. Every dollar raised goes directly toward making these surgeries possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How you can help:</strong>
</div>
<div>Your contribution—no matter the size—helps restore confidence, dignity, and opportunity to someone who otherwise may never receive care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$50 can provide critical surgical supplies
</div>
<div>$100 can help cover medications for a patient
</div>
<div>$250+ helps support a life-changing procedure
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever witnessed the impact of compassionate care, you know it extends far beyond the operating room. This is your chance to be part of something truly meaningful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating and sharing this page to help us reach as many lives as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can change lives—one surgery, one smile, one patient at a time.
