Hi I'm Carmen, 6 months ago a little angel came   to our family, Miguelito.   We've been visiting the hospital for a couple of weeks, between exams and check-ups & have made a diagnosis that takes us by surprise. They've detected that my little boy is a candidate for a hearing implant, a cochlear implant. Sounds are transmitted through the air. In a normal ear, sound waves cause the eardrum and then the bones of the middle ear to vibrate. This sends a vibrating wave to the inner ear (cochlea). These waves are then converted into electrical signals, which are sent along the auditory nerve to the brain. A cochlear implant attempts to replace the functioning of the inner ear by converting sound into electrical energy. This energy can then be used to stimulate the cochlear nerve (the nerve of hearing), sending "sound" signals to the brain. Miguelito is in a decisive moment to carry out this surgery since he is in one of the most important stages to develop his communication abilities: ear and voice. The surgery is imminent and cannot be postponed for a long time, unfortunately, this surgery has a cost that I cannot cover, I am trying by all possible means to get the amount so that my little one can hear us. The surgery has a cost of 30 thousand dollars, which translates into 659,316.00 Mexican pesos.   This is not covered by health insurance, I am very grateful in advance to those who can share this story and/or blessed to support our cause.
