Description

The HUGS (Help Us Give Smiles) Foundation provides free surgery and medical care to children and adolescents with facial deformities.  The surgeries we perform enhance appearence and function - and so much more.  HUGS surgeries change children's lives dramatically in simple but profound ways that we may take for granted - like being accepted by ones peers, going to school or getting a job.  HUGS affords children intangible opportunities for a more norma life that otherwise would be beyond their grasp.  

We promise - your donation will provide a better life, brighter smile and YOU will bring joy to the world.
