Our mission is to raise funds to provide necessities for children in need of cleft palate reconstructive surgeries. We donate 100% of proceeds to the David Hoffman Memorial Fund, a foundation set up by the Cleft Team to provide funds for expenses for patients and families. These expenses may include cleft palate reconstructive procedures, dental implants, money for gas, hotels, picnics (patients are given the opportunity to meet other children with cleft palates), teen lunches (lunches specifically for teen cleft palate patients), and other costs suggested by the Cleft Team.

One thing in particular has been heavy on my heart. I will never forget the afternoon of September 20, 2019. Police officers are here to protect us and that was exactly what Captain Vincent Liberto, Jr did for our small town of Mandeville, LA. He ultimately sacrificed his life that day to keep us safe and we are grateful for him and his years of service and leadership with the Mandeville Police Department. He is a hero and our hearts are broken for his family.
Hello, I’m Hattie and welcome to Just BeeCause! Since I was little my parents taught me the importance of volunteering my time, assisted me in service projects, and encouraged me to give back to others. More and more kids are being required to do community service as part of their learning experience. I have my favorite causes (definitely anything involving animals), but many struggle to find projects that mean something to them. If you can get involved in a way that matters to you, the pride you get from helping others can be life changing and I promise it will make you feel so good! Periodically you’ll find Just BeeCause in an issue of Kids & Family Northshore. It’s important to me to help others and with this column I will bring attention to causes that I feel passionate about and even some that are new to me. I hope that you’ll find an area where you can be of service too! BeeInspired!
Kids & Family Northshore would like to dedicate the inaugural Just BeeCause column in memory and honor of Captain Liberto. We are thankful and humbled to have the opportunity to share his beautiful grandchildren on the December cover. We offer continued prayers for peace and understanding to each member of the Liberto family. For those who wish to assist, donations may be made to the “Vincent Liberto Jr Fund” at Resource Bank.
