Dr Guita Movallali and, Dr Bahram Malakooti at the first Gala fundraising of Faranak Foundation.
Parts of our founders’ speach at the event:
Tonight, we have shared our vision.
Now we want to ask you to help us make that vision real.
Imagine a family receiving a diagnosis and hearing:
“You are not alone. We are here with you.”
Imagine a parent having access to trusted information, community, and support from the very beginning.
Imagine a deaf child growing up with language, connection, confidence, and opportunity.
This is the impact we want to create.
Your support can help us reach more families, develop accessible resources, expand parent education and mental health programs, build community, and strengthen the voice of families in Ontario.
But we are not asking you only to support a program.
We are asking you to invest in a future.
And there are many ways to stand with us.
Give what you can.
Become a monthly supporter.
Volunteer your time or expertise.
Connect us with a partner.
Open a door.
Share our work.
Because every contribution—large or small—can become something meaningful:
another family supported, another parent empowered, another resource created, another child given greater opportunity.
We have started this journey, but we cannot—and do not want to—build the future alone.
We want to build it with you.
So tonight, we invite you to stand with Faranak, invest in families, invest in early access, and invest in the future of our children.
Because every deaf and hard-of-hearing child deserves timely access to language.
Every family deserves support.
And every child deserves the opportunity to communicate, connect, belong, and thrive.
Let’s build that future—together…..
