Amira is only three years old.

Three years trapped in silence. Born without ear canals, she has never truly heard her mother’s voice, never caught the laughter of friends, never known the simplest sounds we take for granted: a bird singing, the wind whispering, her own name called softly across the room.

She watches, wide-eyed, as others talk, laugh, play. She tries to mimic their words, but they come out jumbled, unfinished, swallowed by the silence she cannot break.

Her mother watches her struggle, speaking louder, clearer, willing her daughter to understand. But love alone cannot bridge that gap.

A bone-conduction hearing aid lets Amira experience sound, but it’s like listening to the world through a wall—muffled, distant, and unclear. Amira needs more. And now, for the first time, there is hope that she can have it.

Dr. Joseph Roberson at the California Ear Institute has the skill, the experience, the hands that can change everything. He can create the ear canal Amira was born without. He can give her sound. Give her voice. Give her the chance to live a life where sound, not silence, fills her world.

But this life-changing surgery comes at a cost: $51,200. An impossible amount for a mother raising her child alone, on little more than a modest pension.

This is where you come in.

Your gift can turn silence into sound. Your gift can bring Amira the world other children know—the world of laughter, of whispers, of her own clear voice answering back.

Imagine being the one who makes this possible. The one whose kindness breaks through the silence forever. This isn’t just help. This is transformation. For Amira, it means everything.

Will you be the one to give her the gift of hearing?
