For patients with cleft lips or palates feeding can be difficult and can often result in not getting enough food and becoming malnourished. This means that their bodies are not strong enough to cope with an operation. So a feeding program is set up, where the patient is evaluated and given a special diet. We want to expand our Feeding Program, train all our staff and ensure we have the equipment and formula necessary to get all our patients Surgery Strong. Please donate today - thank you! https://www.theplasterhouse.org/donate/
DONATE NOW to our Surgery Strong Holiday Appeal. Making sure little bodies are strong enough for the surgery that will change their lives!

Today we are launching our Surgery Strong Holiday Appeal - raising money to really kick start our Feeding Program here at The Plaster House. Sometimes when surgery will have such a life changing impact, it can't be done because the patients who come to us simply aren't strong enough for the operation and recovery. By providing extra nutrition and a regulated feeding plan, we want to make sure that every little body is Surgery Strong. Please donate today! https://www.theplasterhouse.org/donate/
Today is the International Day of Disabled Persons. We're so proud to be doing our part to create awareness around disabilities. Change starts with education and over the past 10 years we've been working with communities to help change attitudes towards the disabled. Still much more to be done, but we think we’re up to the challenge!
