Help Children With a Hidden Cleft
Support the Laryngeal Cleft Community
For children with a laryngeal cleft, basic functions like drinking, eating, and breathing can be stressful and exhausting — even life-threatening. Parents often struggle to find the information, assistance, and connection they need — and that’s where LCN makes a difference.
As the only nonprofit serving the laryngeal cleft community, we invite you to help make a difference, too.

Ensure No Family Faces This Journey Alone
Diagnosing a laryngeal cleft can take months or years. Even then, families often struggle to find specialists who truly understand this hidden birth defect.
Many parents describe this time as overwhelming, confusing, and isolating. Your gift helps provide families with the support and encouragement they need — so no one has to navigate this journey alone.
“The LCN grant was incredibly beneficial to our family, as it allowed us to stay overnight before our daughter's surgery. This relieved the stress of traveling in the middle of the night, especially with her early check-in time.
— Nicole T.”
“LCN has been a true source of family support during our second son’s laryngeal cleft journey. The community’s wisdom, compassion, and connections have carried us through our hardest moments and given us lifelong relationships.”
— Kristin O.
“Just knowing that this is a resource is such a relief. My husband and I have felt so alone in supporting our son. Reading other children’s stories has made me feel so good knowing there are others who know exactly what we are, and have been, going through.”
— Addie S.
“LNC brought tremendous support with not only resources to our family, but also emotional and educational support. I am beyond thankful to have found this community and cannot wait to become a more active member to help spread awareness.”
— Erika T.
