Hope, Opportunity for 3,200 kids in Eastern Europe

In early childhood, our sense of hearing plays a crucial role, providing the basis for speech and communication skills.

Through our partner at Love Without Borders we helped a little boy hear.

Sasha (5 years old) was brought to Kiev rehabilitation centre from Cherkassy region. He was born deaf and had a cochlear implant installed when he was 2.  He didn’t have any progress through all these years and we hoped for good results for Sasha.

But as it was found out during the audiogram, his sound processor has been broken and he couldn’t hear anything for a long time as no one noticed the problem. A repair costs about £300. When a hearing device doesn’t work or works incorrectly a child with a cochlear implant can’t hear sounds or can hear them incorrect and he becomes unresponsive to a learning process. We decided to help Sasha and pay for the repair and tuning of his cochlear implant.

One month has passed after Sasha’s sound processor was repaired.  And here is what Sasha's mum wrote:

“We all are very well. We count now up to 10 and backwards. Sasha can write and hear numbers up to 99 and he always want to write big numbers. He finishes exercise books very quickly and ask for another one. We also work at word pronunciation so that he can pronounce them correctly. That is our progress so far. After your charity helped us, even my husband noticed that Sasha started to learn quicker and has a much better progress”.

It’s the beginning of a new future for Sasha. Without your help this would not have been possible

We are truly thankful for your support.

As temperatures drop the need for warm clothes is more urgent.  

Through our partner at Children's Hearts,Ukraine we provided warm clothes for more than 60 children.

All children received winter coats, hats, gloves, vests, winter boots, socks, tights. All families that received winter clothes, boots and even hats couldn’t stop saying thank you for such help.

Some children were still wearing summer shoes when they came to get their winter clothes and we’ve already had snow outside.

David who is only one year old, was waiting for his feet to grow so that he could wear his older sister’s boots. But when he’s got his own NEW boots that no one wore before, he was over the moon with joy. It is such a wonderful feeling to see joy and happiness in children’s eyes! David always had cold hands in winter and now he has new warm gloves to keep them warm.

His mum said:  ‘Not only give these children everyday items but you give them happier childhood.’

Another mum who has many children couldn’t believe that all of them will have winter clothes this year. Some children received dungarees and were so happy that they will not be cold or wet when playing in snow.

Your donations have enabled us to help children stay warm this winter.

Thank you so much for your support.
