Bringing Compassion, Hope, Information, and Possibilities to Children of Our Families so they may lead a normal life.

​

Brief Bio of Dr Faizi:

​

Faizi was diagnosed with cancer at age of 11, treatment and prayers led to remission for 40 years. He dedicated his life to become a ‘special’ children’s doctor. Unfortunately, the cancer returned and he passed away, surrounded by the LOVE of his family and friends, on New Years Day 2024. 

​

As former- Chief of Craniofacial Pediatric Plastic Surgery, he was  actively involved in resident and medical student education, and as the surgical director of annual cleft mission to Guatemala. His research interests focused on cleft and craniosynostosis anomalies, and he has  published articles and presented at national and international conferences.

​

The objective of the Foundation, a 501 (c)(3), is to focus efforts and resources, Seeking Donations, for speech therapy and supplementary alternatives after cleft surgery care. The donations will be applied towards:

​

1. Working with organizations involved in training speech therapists in US and selected low middle income countries, like Smile Train, who have focused on Building Capacity.

2. Working with sign language organizations, like American Sign Language, that can provide training to such children and their families (mothers), as a compliment to speech therapy. This will help upskill the child for opportunities.

3. Working with linguistic/language learning startups/SMES to bring the cleft community to their attention as part of the addressable market. The objective is correct annunciations.
