The 7-month-old child is Lingling, and her mother was born with cleft lip and palate. My mother's surname is Lin, and she is from Qichun. When she was pregnant, she had a prenatal examination. The doctor told her that the fetus also has cleft lip and palate. This news has clouded the originally happy family. Ms. Lin knows how much pain the shape of rabbit lips will bring to children's growth. She has had enough of other people's strange eyes, and now the unborn baby will encounter the same situation. It really worries Ms. Lin. However, maternal love is selfless and great. Ms. Lin was unable to have an operation because of her poor family. After consulting with her family, the baby must be born!
Linlin is a lucky boy. Being born safely in this world is the beginning of a better life.
However, Ms. Lin's family made a living by farming, and their lives were tight. She has no money to operate on her daughter. Watching Lingling grow up day by day, Ms. Lin is really anxious, but she is at a loss.
God bless, more luck has come to this family who knows that mountains have tigers and prefers to travel in the mountains.
A friend of Ms. Lin saw Lingling's photo and wrote a private letter to Ms. Lin, saying that her baby also had cleft lip and applied for the "Smile Train" fund in Wuhan Children's Hospital and had an operation for free. Ms. Lin was immediately moved by the news. At first, her family didn't believe it, fearing that Ms. Lin would be cheated, but the real mother knew that as long as it was for the good of her children, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try her best.
Ms. Lin took Lingling to Wuhan.
So Lingling applied for the "Smile Train" fund of Wuhan Children's Hospital and received cleft lip surgery for free.
Wu Zhen is happy for Lingling! Little girl, please smile in the future!
Everyone knows more or less about cleft lip and palate. Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital malformation of newborn's oral and maxillofacial region, with an incidence rate of 3‰ and heritability of 50% in China.
Cleft lip and palate not only seriously affects the appearance, but also brings serious psychological harm to children and parents. Because the nose and mouth are connected, children are prone to upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media and even hearing loss.
If the operation is completely self-funded, cleft lip will cost more than 8000 yuan, cleft palate will cost 10000 yuan, and pronunciation rehabilitation training will be needed later, which is unbearable for many poor families.
The "Smile Train" foundation that Lingling accepted was founded by Americans. Since the cooperation with Wuhan Children's Hospital in 2008, more than 600 poor children with cleft lip and palate have been rescued.
All babies who have successfully applied for rescue in Wuhan Children's Hospital are free of charge, and only need to spend 1400 of the medicine fee, and this part of their own expenses can be reimbursed through medical insurance or the new rural cooperative medical system.
Children with cleft lip and palate aged 0- 18 in Hubei province need to bring their children, ID cards and family poverty certificates when applying for free surgery on the smiling train, and go to the plastic surgery clinic of Wuhan Children's Hospital every Monday and Thursday.
Wu sincerely hopes that every child can be healthy! Laugh every day!
However, if some families do encounter such confusion as Ling Lin's, let's learn about it and hope it can help them!

This little girl named Lingling in Wuhan suffers from congenital cleft lip and palate. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to have a free operation, so that she could laugh unscrupulously when she grew up. She is really happy for her. The thing is that both mother and daughter have congenital cleft lip. In the past, the mother had no money for surgery because her family was poor, but she didn't expect the child to inherit it. The mother of the child was worried. Fortunately, with the help of the Smile Train Foundation, the child received free plastic surgery. Even mothers think that their children are much luckier than themselves. She knows that the shape of the rabbit's lips will bring a lot of troubles to the child's growth. Because she grew up with different eyes, she was afraid that her children would do the same. However, after discussing with her family, she decided to give birth to the child. Because she is her own child after all, she is reluctant to give up. Fortunately, Lingling was born healthy. However, Ms. Lin's family lives by farming and has no spare money to operate on their children. Fortunately, she is contacting her friends. The child's surgery can also be regarded as helping the mother realize a wish, and she can laugh heartily in the future!
I applied for the "Smile Train" fund in Wuhan Children's Hospital and had an operation for free.
