Imagine living 16 years with a cleft lip and palate -struggling to eat, speak, hear, and facing constant challenges with self-esteem. This was Moses’s reality. Born with a cleft lip and palate, life grew more difficult as he struggled to talk, and eventually, his parents had to withdraw him from school due to constant bullying and teasing. A situation that brought pain and sorrow to Moses and his family.
But hope came when Evelyn, Moses’s mother, learnt about Beit-CURE Children's Hospital of Zambia from a neighbour who had brought their child there. Moses underwent surgery, and today, his smile shines with newfound confidence. His speech has improved thanks to ongoing therapy at CURE Zambia’s comprehensive cleft care centre. “Since Moses got his cleft lip repaired, he hasn’t gotten sick like he normally would when his lip was open,” his mother shared.
We thank God for Moses’s healing journey and how far he has come. Will you join us in transforming the lives of other children in need of surgical intervention just like Moses? Click the link below to help. https://zambia.cure.org/donate/
