Joy is a two-year-old girl from Kenya. She is her parents’ only child. They live together in a house near her father’s shop.
About one month ago, Joy’s parents began to notice that she was not responding to sound. They took her to the hospital, where they ran auditory tests. Doctors recommended that Joy receives hearing aids. Her parents then brought her to our medical partner in search of assistance. The audiologist believes that Joy’s hearing can be restored with the help of hearing aids.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $929 to fund Joy’s hearing aids. She is scheduled to be fitted for this new assistive device on July 5. After treatment, she will be able to hear and her speech development will improve.
“My happiness will be to see Joy able to hear and talk,” Joy’s mother says.
