Somewhere, right now, a child is undergoing craniofacial surgery.
Together, we can send sunshine their way; bringing a smile to their face.

Send-A-Smile Mission touches the lives of children with words of courage and strength,
during and surrounding their time of surgery, by way of our structured greeting card system.
 

Send-A-Smile Mission also has expecting parents in mind!
Create a mission for yourself to receive a special layette pack,
and cards to help celebrate your bundle of joy! 

 

Is your child facing an upcoming surgical procedure?
We at Send-A-Smile Mission, and supporting families of the cleft/craniofacial community truly understand what you are going through. We want to help you through your time of struggle, one card at a time. The greeting cards you'll receive are yours to keep; to be shared with your child now, and to treasure for years to come. Requesting a Send-A-Smile Mission in your child's name is easy - submit the attached electronic form and we'll handle the rest.

Would you like to brighten a child's day, or return the loving support that was extended to you?
Please be a part of our mission, and make a difference in a child's life. Whether you send a greeting card with simple signature, or enclose something special like a personal message, poem, or another gift from the heart - your show of support will be greatly appreciated. After all, isn't a post-surgical smile worth the cost of a card and stamp?

Join our mailing-list and become a card missionary!
While there is no charge for this service, we encourage all card recipients, as well as all families of the community, to show support to those facing surgery, by including yourself in our Send-A-Smile Mission private group's mailing-list. Participants of the list will receive detailed email-notification of each upcoming surgery that includes information (i.e. child's first name and age, date of surgery, parental name and mailing address) sufficient for mailing greeting cards. Missionaries on Facebook will have access to our private group as well. Whether you dedicate yourself to participate in every mission, or just a few, the choice is yours!
