Ibrahim is a two-year-old child from Tamil Nadu who was born premature and has faced medical challenges since birth. While other children respond to sounds and voices around them, Ibrahim has lived in complete silence. After several medical tests, doctors confirmed that he suffers from profound hearing loss in both ears. He has never heard his mother’s voice or the sounds of the world around him.
The family’s situation became even more difficult when Ibrahim’s father passed away in a tragic road accident. Since then, his mother has been managing everything alone. There is no earning member, no financial savings, and no relatives who can support them. The only help she has is from Ibrahim’s elderly maternal grandmother, who is also financially dependent. The family has no support system to rely on in this difficult phase.
Doctors have advised that Ibrahim urgently requires cochlear implant treatment along with speech and auditory therapy. Early treatment is extremely important, as any delay can permanently affect his ability to hear and speak. Under a Tamil Nadu Government scheme for children below six years of age, a portion of the cochlear implant treatment cost is covered. This is why the required amount appears lower than the actual market cost.
However, the government scheme does not cover all medical expenses. Certain essential tests, including the TT-EABR (Tone Burst Auditory Brainstem Response) test, are not covered by the government and must be paid for by the family. In addition to this, therapy sessions, hospital-related charges, and follow-up care are also excluded from the scheme.
Even after partial government support, the remaining expenses are still unaffordable for the family. With no income and no external help, Ibrahim’s mother has no option but to seek support from kind-hearted people. Your contribution can help cover these critical uncovered costs and give Ibrahim a chance to hear, speak, and live a better life. Please come forward and help Ibrahim experience the world of sound for the first time.
🗓️ April 01, 2026: As per the latest update, doctors have advised that Ibrahim’s weight should reach 10 kg and his hemoglobin level should be around 10 before proceeding further with treatment. Currently, his hemoglobin is 9.1, due to which there may be a slight delay in travelling to Chennai for the next stage of treatment. The family is working on improving his health as advised by doctors and will proceed once he is fit. 🙏 We request everyone to please continue supporting Ibrahim during this phase and keep him in your prayers.
🗓️ April 25, 2026:
We would like to share the latest update regarding Ibrahim’s treatment. His family contacted the hospital in Chennai and planned to travel for the next stage of treatment. However, the doctors informed them that the TT EABR test machine is currently under repair.
Because of this technical issue, Ibrahim’s treatment has been postponed for now. The hospital has advised the family to reconnect on 20th May for a fresh update, and they expect treatment to proceed by the end of May once the machine becomes operational.
The family now has to wait for approximately one more month before moving forward. We request everyone to continue keeping Ibrahim in your prayers and supporting his journey toward recovery.
