Through this letter we want to send a cordial greeting and convey a message of gratitude for the support received for Gabriel. The help received from people like you is of vital importance for many migrant children and adolescents who do not have access to health services.
We are pleased to tell the story of Gabriel, a 13-year-old teenager who arrived in our city Medellin in Colombia, accompanied by his mother and grandmother; He was diagnosed with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, which is a pathology that occurs in both ears causing hearing loss, which prevents him from following conversations, capturing other people's ideas, not perceiving high-pitched sounds, among other aspects.
Since he was a child, Gabriel has used hearing aids that allow him to amplify the sound and hear better, these require constant care and adjustments that must be carried out by specialized professionals in the area, which are expensive considering the family situation they live in. a city unknown to his family.
From the Fundación Patronato we have supported Gabriel with specialized consultations, exams and improving his quality of life through the acquisition of supplies that his hearing aids require on a regular basis. This has allowed Gabriel to improve his hearing and speech, in addition to multiple benefits in the school, relational and family areas.
Every donation makes a difference. Together we can make a significant difference in the lives of many migrant children and adolescents.
