Speakers and stories from families, adults, and donors who have walked this road provide community, strength, and hope in CCA Kids.
Hi name is Linda Flores Alcantara I’m 32 years old. I am the youngest of two siblings. I have an older brother and an older sister. I was born July 19 1991 in the beautiful city called San Francisco California ... I was born with Apert syndrome. I have over 20 plus surgeries from head to toes. When I was born the doctors told my mom that I wasn’t going to be able to talk or walk. BUT thankfully to my mom she made me walk with the help of an aunt that lived in Mexico. My aunt gave her the idea of cutting thin blankets round my hips. My mom and my older sis would take wrap sheets of thin blankets around my waist to help me walk.

CCA's Speakers' Bureau connects you with a trained speaker who can present to your classroom, corporate event, or civic group - sharing a firsthand perspective on life with a craniofacial difference.
Many people with facial differences, or caregivers of a child with a craniofacial condition, feel isolated and alone. CCA believes the best antidote is connection.
Click on registration or call 800.535.3643 and ask for Rasheera Dopson, Program Director.
Stories change hearts and minds. They help newly diagnosed families feel less alone - and help donors understand the real impact of their giving. Your story, in your words, matters.
"We've seen how this community transforms people. The Retreat isn't just a vacation - it's the moment a child realizes they're not alone in the world. We'll fund that for as long as we can."
