Dear Fara Foundation Supporters,
This past month has been nothing short of miraculous, and we are overjoyed to share the powerful impact of our recent Miracle Mission in Nicaragua. In collaboration with the House Institute Foundation, the Fara Foundation worked tirelessly at the Fara Clinic to deliver something truly priceless—the gift of hearing. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of Dr. Gladys Díaz-García and her remarkable team, many children and adults experienced sound for the very first time in their lives. It was an unforgettable and emotional journey, filled with life-changing moments.
The Miracle Team
A special shoutout goes to our incredible audiologists: Gladys Díaz-García, Reynita Sagon-Alcisto, and Isaac Cooley, whose skill and commitment were central to the success of this mission. These professionals brought joy and hope to so many families, restoring not just hearing, but also a sense of connection to the world.
Our heartfelt gratitude also goes out to Jennifer Kissas, our outstanding organizer, and Erin O’Donnell, a brilliant student in her final year. Jennifer’s planning and leadership ensured that everything ran smoothly, while Erin’s enthusiasm and dedication added immeasurable value to our team. Your contributions were instrumental in making this mission a resounding success.
Meet Elmer
One of the most heartwarming moments of the mission was when Elmer, a 30-year-old man, heard the world for the very first time. The wonder and emotion on his face as he experienced sound served as a profound reminder of why we do what we do.
Elmer has been a patient of Dr. Debra’s since he was a teenager. He hadn’t had hearing aids since her last visit in 2017, making this moment even more special.
Elmer’s story is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of this mission, and it’s a reminder that none of it would be possible without your support.
A Moment with a Young Boy
Christiam Enmanuel Blandon, a 15-year-old boy, heard from both ears for the very first time, thanks to the life-changing gift of an advanced hearing aid called the BAHA.
This expensive device allowed him to hear normally, transforming his world in an instant. One of the most unforgettable moments of the mission was watching his face light up with joy as he experienced sound for the first time. His radiant smile spoke volumes about the profound impact of this moment.
It’s moments like these that fuel our passion and remind us just how critical our work is. Each connection, each discovery, is a step toward a brighter future.
