The beginning of the year is always an exciting time at the Little Baby Face Foundation. Reflecting on the past year, we are so proud of all the lives we’ve touched, from the children we were able to help to their families—all thanks to our incredible donors, physicians, volunteers, and partners, of course. At the same time, we’re looking forward to all the children scheduled to come to New York soon for treatment. Their lives are about to change significantly, and we can’t wait to see these children and their families no longer defined by the constraints of facial birth defects.
Because of visas and travel issues, our yearly schedule is always subject to change. Here are some of the children we are expecting in the first quarter, if all goes according to plan—and we’re praying it does!
Christopher, 16, will be coming from San Salvador to treat his venous malformation. We began treating him when he was 12.
Solangel, age 12, from the Dominican Republic, will be coming for a “look see,” what we call a preliminary appointment to examine a child and create a treatment plan. Sometimes at a look see appointment, diagnosis, testing or treatment can be scheduled during the child’s visit, while other times, we schedule a return visit. We’ll see what the case is for Solangel very soon! So far, all we know is that she will definitely be getting an MRI while she’s here.
Dylan, coming up on his 18th birthday, will be coming from Virginia Beach to see Dr. Romo and Dr. Yusapov to treat his Goldenhar Syndrome. He has a deformed jaw, microtia, and hemifacial microsomia.
This month, we have Jaronn returning to us from the Philippines for treatment for venous malformation.
Also this month, we have Bjorn, returning from Jamaica to treat the mass on his tongue, microtia, and hemifacial microsomia.
In March, Edelman, 15, from Honduras will be coming for his first surgery at the Little Baby Face Foundation. He came for his preliminary visits to get examined and treatment in 2019. His treatments were interrupted by Covid. This is his third visit.
Also in March, we are expecting Gracie to return to our office. Gracie has been with us for three years now to treat her ulcerated hemangioma and anotia. Her treatment plan involves many steps, but we’ve already made incredible progress. When she first came to us, she could barely fit a small teaspoon or toothbrush in her mouth and was being fed through a feeding tube. She can now open her mouth enough to eat and deliver her impeccably timed one-liners. We are all looking forward to her sparkling personality and to see how much she’s grown. This will be Gracie's ninth visit.
In April, Aisling will be returning to us from Ireland to continue treatment for her venous malformation. Aisling first visited in 2017. She’s now a teenager! Happy Birthday to Aisling who’s turning 13 in this month (February)! We’re looking forward to catching up and seeing how she’s changed over the years.
Rena,12, will be returning from the Philippines in April for treatment for venous malformation on her cheek, chin, lips, tongue, and gums.
In May, Senaly, age 3, from Cambodia will be coming for treatment for a severe hemangioma. No oral or injected treatments have worked for Senaly, and local physicians have not been able to help him. We are currently working on obtaining visas and travel documents for Senaly to come for treatment in New York.
If you’d like to show your support to these children and others to come, you can donate any amount here towards their treatment. Every dollar helps, and you can read exactly how our donations are allocated here.
