Rhiana Marie
Age: 5 years old
Condition: Cleft Palate
Upon Rhiana's birth, her parents were taken aback and saddened by her unexpected cleft condition. They faced challenges with breastfeeding and feeding her initially. However, their message to other parents in similar situations is clear: embrace your children with all your hearts, care for them deeply, and ensure they feel genuinely loved.
Mary Joy, Rhiana's mother, has fervently hoped for her daughter to speak clearly and to protect her from potential bullying. In February 2024, Rhiana's dreams began to come true when she underwent successful cleft lip surgery, thanks to the Abounding in Love Foundation and surgical intervention provided by Rotaplast International and the Rotary Club of Cebu Port Center at the Adventist Hospital Cebu.
This surgery, performed on March 4, 2024, was a significant milestone for Rhiana, marking the first step in her journey toward healing. She is already scheduled for upcoming cleft palate surgery in March 2025, continuing her path to improved health and a brighter future
