To hear the song of life

"During the years of conscious adult life, I have got confidence that if a person is doing everything thoughtfully and diligently, then very good results can be achieved. I was preparing for the birth of a child, I took care of the health and nutrition, I agreed on a place for childbirth. It seemed to me that everything in this life depends only on ourselves... I have never been so much mistaken. In a nightmare, I could not imagine that I would face such a phenomenon as deafness."

These lines are from Anna’s letter, the mother of little Myroslav. He is only 7 months old, he is the long-awaited first-born in the family. The cloudless happiness of the young parents lasted 3 months, and then they noticed that the son does not react to the sounds. The examination showed the result – bilateral sensoneural deafness. Even the strongest hearing aids cannot help, but just cochlear implants will do. And there is need to put them as soon as possible so that the brain learns to recognize sounds so that the baby learns to speak.

The cost of implants is 756 000 UAH. "For our family, it's a huge amount of money. But if the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem, but expenses, "Anna writes. Parents are helped by indifferent people, and part of the amount has already been found. Therefore, we are opening the fundraising for the remaining 358 717 UAH.

At the end, we would like to quote the post of the mother, whose daughter, with the help of cochlear implantology, started to hear: "Now J have some free time, so I decided to share with you with our happiness. It is our first day of hearing! Today, as always, Masha jumps on the bed with the words "I do not want to sleep!". And then I started to sing a lullaby. Usually, there was no reaction, but this time... Masha opened her eyes widely, they were sparkling, and then she closed them and smiled so sweetly. She fell asleep in two minutes with a smile. What a happiness it is!".

Let's give this happiness to Myroslav and his parents!
