We want to extend a special thank you to everyone involved in making our 2022 Santo Domingo Mission a great success!
Our two surgeons, Dr. Jeffrey Swail and Dr. Gary Snider, worked tirelessly each day, performing a total of 40 surgeries in 5 days. Without their hard work, diligence, and attention to detail, we simply could not provide this life changing service to so many in need. Thank you both for your hard work with Mending Faces!

We also want to thank to our partner organization, FNE International, a philanthropic organization from Massachusetts that facilitates collaboration for humanitarian interests. We are so grateful for FNEI representatives Michael, Nahirobi, and Pedro, who without their hard work and connections to the Dominican Republic, this mission would not have been possible.
A resounding THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that donated their time and resources to serving those affected by cleft lip and cleft palate. It takes a village to fulfill our mission, with help from surgical technicians, anesthesiologists, nurses, photographer, translators, and more. Without all of your hard work and dedication, none of this would be possible!

And lastly, thank you to all of our donors and partners who support our mission. We couldn’t perform our life-changing work without your help. Celebrate our success and help us prepare for our next mission in El Salvador at our upcoming Restoring Hope fundraiser this August. Stay tuned for more details.
