Nury’s daughter, Luciana, received a new smile thanks to the organization’s comprehensive care center in their community. Nury said  “If it hadn’t been for Operation Smile … it would have been just terrible. … (People’s prejudice) would have been very frustrating for her, for me and for her father if there had been no solution like this.” Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate, and the cost of surgery and comprehensive care can be devastating. The San Francisco Smile Gala and all Operation Smile events support families such as Nury’s, so they don’t have to worry about their children’s future. “I want to give her all the best things. … She is my whole life,” Nury said.
