Amisha's first stage. More pictures to follow...

Welcome to the Microtia support site! This site was constructed by parents of children who have microtia. The information on microtia that is easy to find is limited to how to reconstruct the outer apperance of the ear. There is much more information that needs to be relayed to parents about their child that has the condition. As parents living in a smaller town, we found it annoying that we could only get information slowly, and mostly from other parents. That is when we decided to start this site.

Here you can find all the information you need to know about microtia. What to expect now, later on, and how to deal with your child's issues. These issues deal with hearing, possable other issues, social conditions, and feeling of frustration for the lack of things a parent or loved one can do.

We are currently looking for donations to help cover the cost of our daughter's future surgeries as we are still paying for her ear surgeries out of our pocket. Living in small town, you can only do so many fundraisers. Amisha is currently waiting to get her jaw distracted twice by a Microtia specialist in the USA with each surgery costing $20,000 plus travel and accomidations. These surgeries are out of our pocket. Even though she has a long road ahead of her, we will not stop trying to take her to the best surgeons out there. After all we only have one shot with most of these surgeries as scar tissue is a huge issue.

You can also purchase a keychain in support of Microtia awareness. We had these developed years ago and started selling them as part of one of our many fundraisers. They are made out of silicone and have Microtia and a picture of an ear embossed in it. These are a popular item and for only $8.00 plus shipping, you can can have one as well. But why buy one when you can get two at twice the price? For a good cause of course! Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a keychain.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. The payment can be made either by using PayPal to send the money, or by sending a cheque or money order (if you are from the US, not a green postal money order as it can not be cashed in Canada) to:

The Amisha Hockridge Medical Fund
