Operation Smile - estimate millions of kids waiting for care in more than 34 nations where they work. The majority of these children are unable to receive the medical care they need because it is too costly or very specialized. For this, being born with a cleft condition can be fatal. If a child survives, they experience bullying. Authorizing local health professionals by training and education creates surgical solutions that satisfy. They are happy that most of their medical volunteers are from the low-and middle- income countries they assist. By partnering with ministries of health, academic institutions, corporations, local health professionals, and other organizations, our goal is to change lives and transform how entire health systems deliver surgical care where they work.

Audra and Justin Wilford founded the MaxLove Project in 2011, just three months after their then-4-year-old son, Max, was diagnosed with brain cancer. MaxLove Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to increase the quality of life and reduce health risks for all children surviving cancer, both in treatment and beyond. We empower families fighting childhood cancers and related life-threatening conditions with quality of life care, “fierce foods” culinary medicine, whole-body wellness resources, education, and research. We believe that true health starts when families are empowered to be active partners in their child’s healing. At MaxLove Project, we invest in hope. Today, over 80% of all children diagnosed with some cancers survive beyond 5 years. While this is great news for many, the fight for most is never over. Researchers now know that the treatments that save lives also increase later risks for serious, life-threatening illnesses. These health risks are lifelong, increase with age, and can result in early death. This is why we’re kickstarting our wellness revolution, one specifically for kids and families fighting cancer and the lifelong effects of cancer and related life-threatening treatments. Visit Now: https://www.maxloveproject.org/ Inspired by SuperMax Wilford, a brain cancer-fighting superhero, MaxLove Project is a volunteer- powered, grassroots, nonprofit organization founded to help SuperKids thrive against cancer and life-threatening conditions. Our mission is to ensure that every family affected by childhood cancer has access to therapeutic resources—from optimal nutrition and sleep to vigorous physical activity and stress management—that have been shown to powerfully impact the quality of life and long-term health. MaxLove Project’s programs and resources support families in the key areas of survivorship health. Each program focuses on the key evidence-based BE SUPER Actions for lifelong healthy survivorship. We are a community of dedicated change-makers who believe in the power of high-quality integrative health care for all children.
