To honor their achievement, American By-Products Recyclers will donate the funds to help provide two free cleft lip surgeries to children in Mexico and Guatemala as a special tribute. The donation will be received by Operation Smile, an international medical charity celebrating over thirty years of offering free surgeries to needy children around the world.
Said Jaime Trejo “I give thanks to God, and to American By-Products Recyclers and Operation Smile for letting me give a child the opportunity to smile.”
Cleft lip and cleft palate are medical conditions most prevalent in underdeveloped and impoverished nations. It is estimated that a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate every three minutes, leading to malnourishment, torment and difficulty with speech and hearing. It is a condition that can be easily treated, though for resource-poor areas access to this type of medical care can be a challenge. Operation Smile can perform a cleft lip repair in as little as 45 minutes and for as little as $240.
To assist with their medical outreach goals, Operation Smile partners with businesses both small and large around the globe, and relies on donations to help with medical outreach and procedures. American By-Products Recyclers, the oldest and largest independent used cooking oil collection company in the New York and New Jersey area, is proud to support the efforts of Operation Smile.
American By-Products Recyclers is pleased to make a donation to Operation Smile in Jesus and Jaime’s names. Through their hard work, these two industrious staff members have helped to transform the lives of two children in Latin America.
