Hi! My name is Lyla. I am five years old. 
My favorite things to do are draw, bake with  my mommy, and play at the beach. I was born with a little ear. It’s called microtia and it makes it hard for me to hear my friends and family talk to me. People are sometimes mean to me about my ear. It hurts my feelings and makes me sad when I get picked on or stared at.

Mommy and daddy found a surgeon in California that can make my ear bigger! I start kindergarten next year and  it would mean the world to me to have the surgery before then! 

Any amount helps. Please help me get a new   ear!
