Bake sale for thriving!

Thousands of children around the world live in orphanages. Some of these children have cleft palates that prevent them from eating correctly. This problem leads to many developmental disabilities and sometimes death. Help us raise funds to buy special bottles that will allow these children to grow strong as they await their surgeries.
