Sonya's Dream
Little Sonya has a dream. She wants to become a veterinarian so she can take care of animals and help those who cannot talk about their pain. Her story began in complete silence which was diagnosed as bilateral deafness. At the age of three, she received a cochlear implant. Rehabilitation that followed was very difficult. With help from medical specialists, Sonya underwent a challenging process of auditory-speech rehabilitation. Every word she heard was her small victory.
When the war began, the family relocated to Northern Ireland, where Sonya did not have any rehabilitation options to rely upon.
During March and April of this year Sonya joined 15 other children with hearing problems to take our online rehabilitation course. Course’s curriculum offered master classes for children to stimulate their creative development, emotional relief and good mood. During the art therapy master classes, children made toys painted Easter eggs.
Our course helps Ukrainian children who were forced to flee abroad to escape the war to take a rehabilitation course online in a timely manner and offers hope for improved communication and a fuller life.
We want to thank all our generous donors for their support.
