To hear, to talk, to live

Many factors can lead to problems with hearing, but in the case of Sasha, this was due to the great emotional shock-death of his father. After that the boy began to hear badly, other people's speech sounds illegible for him. He became withdrawn, insecure and does not want to go to school. This trouble happened when the boy was 4 years old. Sasha badly pronounced some sounds, so they turned to the speech therapist. Regular lessons did not help, problems with speech remained. The doctor explained this by a violation of the nervous system and advised to check the hearing.

Recently, after the examination, the boy was diagnosed with auditory neuropathy. A person with auditory neuropathy is able to hear sounds, but it will still be difficult to recognize the spoken words. Sounds can appear, then disappear for these people, which means that speech does not seem to be systematized.

Olexandr is a very mobile child, his dream is to climb, but because of hearing problems he can not do it yet. And now he is stilling more and more at home, does not go out into the street, because he does not hear his friends, the mother has to persuade her son to go to school every morning! But the boy can be helped. To do this, we need to purchase hearing aids, the cost of which is 42 232 UAH! Sasha lives in a large family. Besides him, there are three boys in the family. The mother has been raising her children alone since 2014, from the time her husband died of lung cancer and, of course, is unable to pay the bill – she simply does not have such money.

Let's help Sasha not only hear this world, but also communicate with him! Part of the money mother has already collected, so we collect 35 000 UAH on the UBB website and you can help by pressing the magic button "Support" and transfer any feasible amount.
