The Foundation's Buddy Network is a system of mothers across the state of Alabama dedicated to helping new mothers with their new additions to their family.  The Buddy's in our network visit new mothers while still in the hospital, or when they are released to go home.  These Buddies  take a portfolio of pictures to show the new mother of other patients, they provide brochures about the facial deformity, a special gift bag that contains the Mead Johnson Cleft Palate Nursers, Ross Orthodontic Nipples, a instructional feeding video, a Cleft Palate Foundation Teddy Bear, and More!!!!  Most importantly, the new mother gains a new friend to help them through!

If you are in need of a friend, please let us know!  We can help you get in touch with a mother in your area who understands what you are going through.

If you are out of state, we would still like to connect you with an email-pal.
