"The mission of Face Forward is to provide physical and emotional reconstruction for women and children who have been victimized by domestic or gang related violence. Face Forward vows to provide each victim with the best possible treatment pro bono.

Face Forward was founded by renowned plastic surgeon and biochemist Dr. David Alessi, and his wife Deborah Alessi, CEO of Alessi Skincare. Both Dr. and Mrs. Alessi have a long history of supporting charitable initiatives and have served several not for profit organizations as both board members and benefactors.

Face Forward works with community leaders around the nation to identify victims of violence who are legitimately working toward recovery and who carry the physical evidence of past abuse. We are able to provide our services to individuals who are committed to their recovery by partnering with local community centers, which offer complementary relief: housing, counseling, job searches, and legal assistance. We are one humble part of the recovery puzzle; however, the immediate results of our healing efforts provide individuals with the confidence to literally put their best Face Forward once again.

Face Forward is a non-profit organization, a 501(c)(3) registered in the State of California. Better than 90% of all donations are directed toward victim treatment and recovery. Since an average patient's treatment costs approximately $12,000, every penny helps."
