Rickson is a four-year-old boy from Kenya. His mother is a stay-at-home mom, and his father is a teacher. Since birth, he has had difficulty perceiving sound. This has caused him to miss developmental milestones.
Rickson has been diagnosed with hearing loss and requires hearing aids. If not treated, he will continue to have delayed speech development, and his social and academic performance will be impacted.
Fortunately, Rickson is scheduled to receive his hearing aids on November 15. Our medical partner is requesting $929 to fund the devices.
Rickson’s mother says, “I wish to see my son develop his speech and be able to attend a normal school.”
