Children need our help today

Have you ever heard of a laryngeal cleft? Probably not — and you’re not alone!

This abnormal opening in the airway causes swallowed liquids to leak into the lungs. Depending on the severity, symptoms range from coughing and choking to, tragically, death.

LCN is the first nonprofit to serve the laryngeal cleft community and we need your help. We provide grants to help families travel to access medical care for their child with a laryngeal cleft.

Families like Clara’s:

“We have uprooted our family and will likely spend six months away from home. This grant is incredibly helpful in assisting with the increased expenses we have incurred while living far from home for so long.”

And Boston’s:

“Due to Boston's medical needs, we had to stay in Cincinnati longer than we had originally planned. Knowing we would be able to use the LCN travel grant to help with lodging helped us so much. We are so grateful!”

LCN is working hard to spread awareness, promote early diagnosis, and facilitate effective treatment for all children born with a laryngeal cleft. We have taken the first steps by forming a nonprofit and creating a comprehensive website. With your help we can:

  • lighten the financial burden for families that must travel to access medical care for their child’s cleft.

  • build public awareness.

  • publish the most up-to-date information available.

  • support providers in their efforts to diagnose and treat clefts.

Ultimately, your donation will help stop the suffering of children born with this hidden cleft.

Thank you for considering donating to Laryngeal Cleft Network. Every donation counts. And if you are unable to donate, please consider getting involved. We appreciate you investing your personal resources, whatever they may be.

Together, we can close the gap.
