I am new here!

Hi, I am anna. I have a complete unilater cleft lip and palate. I am 19 years old and have had 24 surgeries. I have faced many challenges due to having a cleft lip and palate and would love to help anyone who ever is having a hard time. Cleft lip and palates create many problems- they demand physical and emotional strength. I am glad I found this site because hopefully I can reach out to some of you and also there are those days that I need support. Please email me <<thurmeak@uwec.edu>> My favorite quote comes from Romans chapter 5:2-5 "And we rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God. Not only so, but we rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who he has given us." My prayers are with all of you-- I can't wait to talk to you guys. May the love of the Lord shine upon you! Love always, Anna
