At nearly six years old, Josselyn had never spoken a single word.

Born with a condition known as tongue-tie, her silence wasn’t a choice. It was a barrier that could have been removed with a simple procedure.

But in rural Honduras, where access to healthcare is limited and surgeries like hers are not considered essential, Josselyn’s voice was quite literally out of reach.

That changed the day she found CHHF.

When our medical mission team arrived in her village, they saw more than a diagnosis. They saw a little girl desperate to speak. In just minutes, Josselyn received the surgery she had waited her entire life for. And for the first time, the world had the chance to hear her voice.

But her story isn’t over.

To truly find her words, Josselyn now needs weekly speech therapy and follow-up care. Her mother, Cindy, makes a difficult four-hour journey—two buses and a taxi—just to reach her appointments. The cost? Only $31.29 per week. Life-changing, yet out of reach for families like hers.

Now imagine a child you love never being able to say “Mama,” or ask for help. That’s the daily reality for far too many families in Honduras—unless someone like you steps in.
