=====================================
How long could you stay in the absolute silence, without using a single word? Just imagine that there are something more than just white walls around, but a wonderful world of sounds! This boy does not know how a dog barks, or a sparrow tweets, how the rain knocks on the roof and the music sounds. He has never fallen asleep with his mother's bedtime story.
As well as the elder sister Bogdan has been deprived of the simple happiness to hear. Because of the deafness the boy has not started to talk. Nowadays he goes to a special kindergarten and tries lip-read the words his parents pronounce.
When Bogdan was a baby, the doctors could not make an exact diagnosis. A recent computer survey confirmed the deafness on the both ears.
The doctors have advised his parents to buy a hearing aid, which will open the new world of sounds for the child and also will let him make the first attempts to speak himself.
Depending on the functional features, its price ranges from from 1,116 to 3,100 US dollars. Thus, Bogdan needs around 6,183 US dollars for both ears!
The total income of Bogdan’s parents is 2,000 thousand UAH (around 248 US dollars) that’s why they need ages to collect the necessary sum of money. Meanwhile, the doctors recommend to buy it as soon as possible – in order to give the child a chance to develop the ability to speak in the future.
Please, help Bogdan to hear this world, and learn to speak, and he will thank you!
The family lives in the village of Kamenskoye of the Vasilevsky district.
