阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came.
The birth of the little girl, Melody, cast a shadow over her family. The words the doctor said to ________________________________________________________________________________
Dana and Jeff completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was ________________________________________________________________________________
impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw ________________________________________________________________________________
their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It ________________________________________________________________________________
broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future. ________________________________________________________________________________
Fortunately, Dana and Jeff saw a ray of hope when the doctor told the couple that their ________________________________________________________________________________
daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术). Rather than feeling stressful ________________________________________________________________________________
like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from
that. They would spare no effort to support Melody.
Nothing is precious than their little angel, and Dana as well as Jeff was ready to do anything
for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery
options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was
expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be
much more costly than the young family could afford.
Then came the thrilling moment when Jeff browsed through a medical forum one evening,
he stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip
surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free
surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and
read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the
results were incredible. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her
cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to
Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid.
