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.
