On the 3rd of December, just a few weeks before Christmas, the Blissful Cleft Foundation and its team gave Damon a smile for Christmas.

 

Damon, 8 months old, received a soft palate, hard palate and lip repair surgery just in time for the perfect family Christmas photos.

​

At Mediclinic Midstream, Dr Sharan Naidoo managed to successfully complete the Bilateral Cleft lip and Palate surgery.

We were overjoyed to see a smile change and to be part of this journey with Damon and his family.

​​

We would also like to thank a few people who helped us make this dream a reality.
