Help Children With a Hidden Cleft
Join Us In Supporting the Laryngeal Cleft Community
For children with a laryngeal cleft, basic daily tasks can be a struggle. Drinking, eating, and breathing — things most of us take for granted — can be stressful and exhausting. Many children choke while drinking, others need a feeding tube, and some experience serious or life-threatening breathing issues.
LCN provides information, assistance, and support to families facing this hidden condition. As the first nonprofit dedicated to serving the laryngeal cleft community, and we invite you to help make a difference.

Ensure No Family Faces This Journey Alone
Children born with a laryngeal cleft often endure months or even years of symptoms before finally receiving the right diagnosis. Even then, their journey may be far from over, as their family struggles to find specialists who truly understand this hidden birth defect. Many parents describe this time as overwhelming, confusing, and isolating. Your gift provides 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.”
“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.
“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.
“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.”
