Our crowdfunding campaign has ended but you can still support the Craniofacial Clinic by clicking here.
200,000 children are born with facial anomalies in the United States each year. $20 can provide specialty feeding bottles and nipples to babies born with cleft lip and palate.
47 to honor the 47 years since Drs. Henry Kawamoto and Yoshio Setoguchi founded the Craniofacial Clinic, and the thousands of patients served over the years, and the patients who will directly benefit from your generous support.
Gifts of $50 can help the UCLA Craniofacial Clinic afford to give products like toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and other specialized dental hygiene supplies to all of our patients free of charge.
A large percentage of our patients don't live in Los Angeles as craniofacial team care requires a large number of sub-specialists. Donations of $100 can be used to reimburse gas and travel costs for our low-income patient families traveling to UCLA from Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, or Las Vegas.
Donations of $250 allow the UCLA Craniofacial Clinic to offer the tests and scans needed to determine the appropriate course of treatment free of charge for our most under-insured patients.
For our underinsured patients, mental health coverage is often limited or nonexistent. Kids with craniofacial conditions ages 8-10 are prone to anxiety and depression at higher rates than their peers. $500 can pay for 2 psychologist and social worker visits that will give these children important coping strategies and boost their mental health.
Insurance companies consider dental implants to be 'cosmetic' surgeries and do not cover this procedure. $1,000 can pay for 1 dental implant for a child who is missing teeth due to cleft lip and palate or other Craniofacial conditions.
