In Pakistan, deaf families suffered greatly after massive floods washed away their homes last year. Desperate deaf parents were risking their life to provide for their children; it is not unusual to sell a kidney for one month’s worth of food.
In the aftermath of the floods, dust, dirt and debris made it tough to feel any sense of normalcy. To help restore comfort, we got creative and worked with local artisans to craft vibrant, handmade beds, blankets, and pillows. These pieces, infused with care and color, became a crucial part of our ongoing efforts to bring a touch of home to those affected. However, our operations in Pakistan face a significant challenge due to the lack of international media coverage and limited support, making it hard for us to raise the much-needed funds to support the large Deaf Community there.
