Hi, Somto is my friend's son. He is 3 years old . He was diagnosed with severe hearing loss at 11 months as a result of congenital rubella syndrome and Autism at 3 years. Somto needs money to pay for cochlear implant surgery and rehabilitation. This is an opportunity to help Somto live a normal life because early intervention ensures that hearing loss doesn't get worse. The doctor said that the child behavioural issues are largely as a result of hearing loss suffered at birth and without the cochlear implant surgery, Somto may not be able to undergo behavioural therapy. I solicit for assistance to enable his parents get early medical intervention for Somto and for him to live a better life.
