A little girl now leads a normal life after the UAE government stepped in to pay Dh400,000 for her cochlear implants, electronic devices that improve hearing.
Michelle Grace's mother, Dominique Villafuerte, shared her heartwarming story on Expo 2020 Dubai's Twitter feed and explained how the government's donation turned their life around when there was little hope.
“Prior to joining the Expo in 2017, we learned that our daughter was deaf and needed cochlear implants," Ms Villafuerte said.
"Coincidentally that year was the Year of Giving, and the Ministry of Health had a 'Help Me Hear initiative'.
"We were fortunate enough to be given the chance to have our daughter’s cochlear implant for her right ear free of cost, courtesy of the UAE Government."
