We are doing this for our little neighbor named Maya. She is 2 and half years old. She was born as a deaf due to some rare abnormality in her inner ears. She can't hear or speak. To recover, she needs a cochlea replacement surgery which costs $15,590 here in India. With the help of our residents association we have managed to collect $4,454. We are looking into all sorts of other sources. Each penny will help in a situation like this. We are waiting for the day when Maya can go and hug her mother when she calls her 'Maya....'
