Maria was born in 2019. She lives with her parents and grandparents. Both of her parents are hearing and speech impaired, and the family relies on small-scale farming to make a living.
In 2022, Maria’s grandfather suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. On top of this, the family also needs to support Maria’s older sister, who is currently attending university. The combined financial and emotional strain has placed immense pressure on every family member, casting a heavy shadow even over young Maria’s childhood.
Maria is a quiet and introverted child, carrying a kind of silence unusual for someone her age.
