The Little Baby Face Foundation (LBFF) transforms the lives of children born with facial deformities through corrective surgery. World-class surgeons and medical providers at the finest facilities in NYC volunteer their time to provide the best corrective surgery and medical care to children and their families who are in financial need worldwide. We arrange travel to and from New York City for children to undergo needed corrective surgical procedures at no expense to the patient or their families.

Since our founding by Dr. Thomas Romo, III in 2002, more than 100 children born with facial deformities have had their lives transformed with help from the LBFF. These children, ages four to eighteen, come from communities across the country including: Athens, Alabama; Lochbuie, Colorado; Astoria, New York, Greer, South Carolina, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kanilua Kona, Hawaii and many other communities. In addition, the Little Baby Face Foundation has served children and their families from around the globe including: Mongolia, Peru, Iraq, Nigeria, Ecuador, Moldova, Phillipines and many other countries. The Foundation also provides medical information about facial deformities to families and healthcare providers and supports related research.

My daughter Melanie was born with Goldenhar Syndrome and Hemifacial Microtia. What the medical doctors in my community could not do over the course of six years, Dr. Romo and the Little Baby Face Foundation accomplished in two months. My daughter, who is now 11 years old is doing fantastic, thanks to Dr. Romo, Diane and the Foundation team. They continue to be a blessing in my life.

I wish every parent dealing with this challenge for their child knew that, even when nothing seems to be moving forward, Little Baby Face Foundation is there to help heal their child and to give their family a sense of hope and community.
