This foundation was established in memory of his parents and brother who greatly influenced his professional and personal growth.

JCF & AFS collaborate to treat children with cleft
Contributing to sponsor one child treatment per year:
Alliance for Smiles improves the lives of children and communities impacted by cleft by providing free comprehensive treatment, while building local capacity for long-term care. In our 16 years of existence, we have served over 7,000 patients in 15 countries; the total value of the donated medical services we have provided is over $33 million. And because we have such a loyal group of talented volunteers who donate their time, our overhead is extremely low - just 10%.
Mr. Paul Vazquez, Director of operations for Alliance for Smiles, noted that this organization provides services to other countries only because, in the United States of America, all children with clefts receive treatment at a very early age, and the treatment includes multi-dimensional long-term care. One of the goals of Alliance for Smiles is to help other countries to replicate the long term treatment that countries such as the USA employ.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Alliance for Smiles has continued to innovate, launch new programs, and achieve its life-changing mission, by remotely training medical teams serving children with cleft around the world, and we remain ready to get back to the field as soon as possible.
