Malachi is the oldest child in his family. He is very playful. Malachi’s father is an electrician, but he is not employed. His mother is a housewife. They live in the Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa.
Malachi was born with hearing difficulties. When he was two years old, his parents noticed that his speech was delayed. He underwent testing in a coastal hospital, and hearing aids were recommended. However, the family was unable to afford them.
Fortunately, they were referred to our medical partner’s care center. Now, Malachi is scheduled to receive hearing aids on January 10. His parents need help raising $712 to pay for them.
Malachi’s mother says, “My hope is to see my son talk. I want him to join school and proceed with his life.”
