It has not been easy for my parents to continue with the appropriate treatment for my diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss, due to economic conditions. and access to health services for the migrant population.
This condition prevents me from communicating and socializing, which is why I require exams, specialized consultations and periodic audiological evaluation, in addition to comprehensive rehabilitation and school inclusion accompaniment, all this allows me to carry out activities according to a child of my age and ride a bicycle, which is one of my favorite hobbies.
This treatment and accompaniment has been possible thanks to the fact that Fundación Patronato, through donors like you, can provide better health opportunities for all boys and girls in general.
I thank you for your important donation and for what, through it, changes in the lives of many children and adolescents who require treatment to improve their health.

Since he was a child, Gabriel has used hearing aids that allow him to amplify the sound and hear better, these require constant care and adjustments that must be carried out by specialized professionals in the area, which are expensive considering the family situation they live in. a city unknown to his family.
