HUGS Foundation

Transforming Lives Through Surgery

The HUGS Foundation is dedicated to providing free surgeries for children suffering from congenital facial deformities such as cleft lip, cleft palate, and microtia. Founded by Dr. Vito C. Quatela, the organization sends volunteer medical missions to countries like Ecuador, Vietnam, and Guatemala, aiming to change lives by giving smiles.

Making a Lasting Impact

HUGS Foundation has successfully performed surgeries for numerous children, significantly improving their quality of life and social acceptance. For instance, the cost of surgery for microtia in the US can reach $40,000, while HUGS can perform surgeries for nearly 60 children in Ecuador for the same amount.
