Dearest friends: As you may already know, Operation Smile is a cause that’s so close to my heart. Over the past eight years, my family and I have been beyond inspired to contribute our unwavering support to this life-changing organization in any and every way that we can. It’s been incredible to feel warmth and love pour in through so many relationships so many people who, like us, believe that everyone deserves the chance to smile. Thanks to your compassion and generosity, together, we’ve been able to make an impact that’s brought healing and hope into the lives of more than 4,000 patients and families affected by cleft lip and cleft palate in places of dire need. As we approach my birthday this Saturday, September 8th, I ask that in lieu of gifts, you help me reach a milestone that would not only mean the world to me, but to so many children who are living with the burden and pain of untreated cleft conditions. My family and I are just $20,000 short of eclipsing the $1 million mark in total funds raised for Operation Smile since 2010. If you can find it in your heart to give these children the most precious gift they could receive the hope for a brighter future then I can truly say that this would be my best birthday yet. Please join Neriah, Sierra, Rain, Shaya and I in supporting this incredible cause at www.operationsmile.org/brooke, or by clicking on the video link below. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. These children may never know your name—I do!—but I promise you, they will never forget your kindness. With love, Brooke ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASoONGrprik
