Abilities First

Max is a sweet boy who was born prematurely and has faced many medical challenges throughout his life. His prematurity has left him deaf in both ears; he has completely lost hearing in his left ear but still has some hearing in his right ear, thanks to an old hearing aid that unfortunately isn’t working very well. The cost of repairs is quite high, and Max, who is currently living with his aunt, dreams of hearing better again. Despite these challenges, Max is truly tenacious and driven. He pours his creativity into his favorite hobbies, such as drawing and painting rocks, where he expresses himself with vibrant colors and imaginative designs. Max has a passion for learning and excels at whatever he sets his mind to, which showcases his determination. In addition to his artistic talents, he loves playing games and has a sweet tooth for his favorite chocolate chip ice cream. Recently, he has also discovered a new love for carrot cake! Max's positive spirit and love for life shine through, making him a remarkable young boy.

Max has deafness in both ears, but he can hear from his right ear with the help of a hearing aid. Although he has been using hearing aids for a while, they are starting to wear out and require expensive repairs. As he prepares for a new school year, Max dreams of having a reliable hearing aid that would not only allow him to enjoy his favorite games but also connect with his friends. The gift of improved hearing would mean the world to him as he embarks on this new chapter in his life.
