What a moment to see JLCIF and our mission featured on WFAA ABC Dallas Midday today!! đđ
Iâm incredibly grateful to our amazing Board President, Michael Noble, and our incredible event partner, Dean McCurry of DM Auction Services for joining Kara Sewell to share why this work matters.
Michael is celebrating 35 years since becoming the first child in North Texas to receive a cochlear implant. Today, he is using his voice to help other recipients maintain access to theirs.
And the need is urgent.
JLCIF currently has 120 open applications. Thirty-six of those recipientsâincluding 13 childrenâare completely âoff airâ and living without access to sound because their external equipment has failed.đ
That is the urgency behind Thursdayâs Boots, Bling & The Gift of Hearing fundraiser.
Thank you, Michael, Dean, Kara, and WFAA, for shining a light on the people waiting to be reconnected to family, school, work, and life.
