Miles for Smiles: Buy a Smile. Win a Car
Medical Missions for Children (MMFC) is a Woburn, Massachusetts
based 501(c)(3) nonprofit which has been providing health and hope to children
around the world for over 24 years.
On April 16th, 2014 they announced they will be raffling off a Mercedes SL550 2 year lease. All proceeds will go directly to fund their missions.
Overall, the need is staggering. More than 170,000
children are born with cleft lip and palate deformities each year. Currently,
there is a backlog of over one million children and adults waiting for this
surgery. MMFC provides its surgeries free
of charge to these children, who would otherwise never have access to this
care. This surgery resolves health complications and speech impediments
and most important, restores dignity to a child and his family. Children who
receive this surgery are given the opportunity to stay in school and become
productive members of the community.
