Pen Pal needed for little girl with a cleft who feels alone
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi my name is Sherry. My daughter is eight years old she has a cleft lip and palate (unilateral) She is the only girl in the entire school who has a cleft, She is becoming very self conscious about her appearance, She needs some one whom she can relate to. I hope finding her a penpal will help. Jariah is in the process of having the bone graft surgery done this summer. We are going to the orthodontist every week now and she already hates the idea of having to wear a palate expander. She does not want to be any different from her friends. She likes the Back Street Boys, NSYNC, Brittany basketball, science, girl scouts, and writting. I hope some one out there can help us, We would like a female penpal around the same age who may have already gone through this and can help her deal with her feelings of difference and just provide some comradery. Hope someone can write to her, and any advise parents may have for me will be appreciated. Thanks SherryDanks@yahoo.com
