Make a Miracle Challenge

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. This can all change with a 45 minute surgery for only $240, you can help Make a Miracle!

Join our Make a Miracle challenge by donating toward reconstructive surgeries for children around the world through Operation Smile^®. Since 2004, Close To My Heart has partnered with this non-profit charity to provide free life-changing operations for children with facial deformities.
It takes as little as $240 to help provide a surgery and change a young life forever; with our Make a Miracle challenge we hope to raise enough funds to help create hundreds of new smiles. Participate in the miracle by donating—100% of your contribution goes to Operation Smile, so every dollar helps. And thank you for helping us change the world, one smile at a time!

Ways you can help:

• I will gladly accept your donation.
• Round up your order total and donate the difference with every purchase.
• Work with neighbors and friends to sponsor one surgery.
• Donate when you make a purchase on MyCTMH^®website.

To learn more, watch the Make a Miracle Challenge video below.

Stay tuned, I will provide yet another way for you to donate to such a worthy cause. For questions or donations, click here to email me directly. Thank you for your help!

Take time to create,
