When Leida welcomed her son Moises into the world, she was quickly overwhelmed by the challenges of caring for a baby with a cleft lip and palate. Each day brought new worries and heartache, as feeding Moises was difficult, and she feared for his future. When she learned about GSF, Leida felt a glimmer of hope—but also a wave of fear.
