With your help, 4‑year‑old Darina got ultra‑powerful hearing aids, and for the first time in her life, she started hearing clearly. Thank you for giving the child this opportunity!

In the first months of her life, doctors literally saved Darina from the consequences of COVID, which she contracted while still in the womb. Strong medications helped her overcome the disease, but they caused complications affecting her hearing. Darina doesn’t hear anything with one ear, and with the other, she can only hear a tiny bit. Because of this, her speech is affected, and she has difficulties with socialization.

“We are very grateful to all the people who responded,” says the girl’s stepmother. “It’s hard to put into words her surprise and even fear when they put the devices on her. Darina didn’t even know that sounds could be so clear! Now she wears the new devices non‑stop.

The parents can see that Darina has become calmer and more confident, especially when communicating with her peers. She no longer asks the person she’s talking to to repeat what they said; new words have appeared in her speech.” The specialists the girl has been working with for a long time have also noticed the progress. This means there is every chance she will be well prepared for school. Also, with the new hearing aids, Darina’s dream of taking dance classes will come true. Thank you for getting involved in her life and giving her the opportunity to live a full life in a world of clear sounds.

About the campaign

Darina has hearing loss and needs hearing aids.

Four-year-old Darina has sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing aids will help her hear and develop speech.

Darina's life is lived in a semi-secret of sounds, as her family puts it. One ear is completely deaf, the other barely. She doesn't distinguish spoken language, only catching fragments. She's having difficulty learning to pronounce words. And her psychosocial development directly depends on her hearing.

Darina urgently needs modern hearing aids. This means she can learn to speak, understand speech, and attend kindergarten and school like her peers. This is a chance to save precious time.

The family can't raise the necessary funds on their own. Darina's stepmother doesn't work—she's dedicated to caring for a large family. Her father's salary isn't enough to cover the cost of expensive equipment. Let's unite so Darina can hear the world—and one day utter her first loud, confident word.
