MADTI - Make A Difference Through Inclusion

MADTI - Make A Difference Through Inclusion We are "MADTI" - we design, develop and sell assistive products and offer consulting services So stay tune for our big REVEAL!

Make A Difference Through Inclusion (MADTI), a Calgary-based start-up co-founded by a daughter and mother (Madison Pinlac and Estela Dalayoan-Pinlac). Our story began in 2017 after visiting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) when Madison began to manifest her vision. “I believe that hearing people can communicate with Deaf people by using signing.”
Now fast forward, nearly 3 years later

, we are excited to launch our 1st accessible wearable product line that was inspired by Madison and her friends, designed and produced by a talented team, validated by multiple individuals and tested by a variety of focus groups.

To our Kababayan, our Filipino community,

On behalf of Make A Difference Through Inclusion (MADTI), we offer our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and the Filipino community who lost loved ones at the Lapu-Lapu Festival in Vancouver on April 26, 2025.

One of the things we truly appreciate is our Filipino heritage, learning the values of family, community, belonging, and hospitality. We don’t just have a picnic, we have a pageantry showcasing our culture and history. Everyone is welcome to join in the celebration which include food, music, performances, games, and other activities.

Which is why it is with profound sorrow that a day of celebration turned to tragic loss of lives, imprinting trauma for many who were injured, and the families and friends impacted by the loss of loved ones. It is a reminder of how fragile life can be, and how deeply we are all connected in both joy and in pain.

To those who are mourning: you are not alone. We grieve with you. We feel the brokenness, the anger, and the disbelief. We feel the weight of this senseless act, and the pain and trauma it has caused.

Let it also be a wake-up call to our Nation’s future leaders that mental health cannot be dismissed, ignored, or stigmatized, **mental health matters.**

We all have a role to play in creating a country where help is available, we must listen, support, and care—before tragedy strikes again. We may have not been able to save the 11 lives taken, but let’s honor them by building a nation where such heartbreak is less likely to be repeated.

Together, we grieve.💔
Together, we heal. ❤️‍🩹
- Estela Dalayoan-Pinlac
