Dear friends.
When we found out that Abi is completely deaf, and that her hearing that can not be corrected with a hearing aid, we crashed. We cried in the street with our backpack and did not want to go further. It was unbelievable, impossible: our daughter, who we desired and expected so much, is deaf! We could not believe the words of the doctors, but the results were in our hands, we had to accept it and move on.It was mid-April when we first called for help, so that Abi could hear.Already the next day we started getting money and not a single day passed without people coming to us with tears in their eyes, to help us, to hold our hands, to encourage us. We were helped by our families, friends, acquaintances, church communities, students, businesses, strangers.The necessary amount was gathered in just two months through divine miracle, and with the help of solidary people with golden hearts.Abi was operated in early July, and after a month of waiting, we were full of hope for her recovery when the cochlear implant was activated.After the first week with the implant, Abi turned if I called her name, she hears the cars leaving , and once she even heard the voice of a child crying in the park. Today, after the second adjustment of the implant, she tries to imitate animals and even some words, she is attentive to sounds, to words and our songs. And so her great adventure has begun in the world of sounds, with small steps.Every two weeks we go back to Szeged, Hungary, where she was operated and where a specialist programmes the implant's volume so until Christmas she will be able to hear almost perfectly when we talk or sing to her. She is now like a few month old baby , slowly but surely, she will learn to hear and speak.Thank you for your selflessness with which you helped us.
We believe, hope, and ask God that the goodness and love, with which you have helped our daughter, Abi, to return to you.Sincerely, with love and gratitude,
Rózsa family.

THE OPERATION SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT IN JUNE
My name is Rózsa Etelka, my husband is Rózsa Róbert, we
are young people born in Zalau, Salaj county, Romania. Our daughter,
Abigél was born on March 14, 2010, when
we first saw her, we were so joyful that it brought tears to our eyes. She evolved beautifully, and she started
making noises and babbling very quickly. When she was seven months old, she
started walking with our help, and before she was one, she could walk on her
own.
We thought she would start speaking very quickly, if she
made her first sounds so early, but there were no first words. We flicked to
this and did not take it too seriously, because I, her mother was two years old when I started
speaking and we , her parents saw it that she responded to sounds or speech in
lot of cases, it did not even come to our mind that something could be wrong.
In November 2011, when she had a strong cold and
teething, we noticed that she was not responding to any noise. Then we started
seeing doctors. In Cluj Napoca, before Christmas, after a medical examination,
as a gift it was revealed that our child hears, there are no problems with her.
It turned out that she had a strong ear infection, which
caused her not to respond to anything. But Abi still wouldn’t start speaking,
she was watching our mouths even more when we were talking to her, and she was
getting frustrated for not being able to express herself. We went to Debrecen, too. And here we are, after several
examinations, with the diagnosis in our hands.
After her second birthday, we found
out about our daughter Abi the final and accurate diagnosis: profound sensori-neural hearing loss.....“Practically she can not hear
anything” was the first sentence after the medical examination.
In this kind of moments, it feels like
the world is crashing, our own, personal, pre-designed small world. Our world
that we have to replan the way the path of life has brought to us. For this we would need your help, so that Abi
should be able to hear and speak just like her little friends, this would be
possible only through great work, perseverance, but not by itself.
She needs a cochlear implant, which is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to those who are profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing; this is the alternative where satisfactory results can not be achieved with a hearing aid.
She needs a cochlear implant, which is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to those who are profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing; this is the alternative where satisfactory results can not be achieved with a hearing aid.
This miracle works the following way:
Here we start a big battle,
- a battle against time, because the operation should be carried out as soon as possible. Early implantation makes possible an effective language learning and development of reading skills, and at the same time it allows the child to significantly improve her speech comprehension and speech production as well, so she can learn among children with normal hearing.
- this is also a battle for money: the price of an implant for one ear is between 20,000-25,000 euro. We have only a small fraction of this amount.
The Romanian state would pay an implant, but this would
be a long process……she would be put on a waiting list, she would have to wear a
hearing aid for six months and when she gets to the top of the list, she would
be operated. Acquaintances say (professionals) that this could take up to two
years, unfortunately. This would be too late for the first implant…….that is
why we try to collect the money.
Abi is fine at the moment, she pays attention to all our
gestures, movements. When we speak to her, she always watches our mouths and
she tries to copy the sounds with her mimicry. She makes many signs,
self-invented signs, and now we learn a sign a day continuously from the sign
language. She learns the signs very quickly, she copies them with her small
hands almost perfectly. Thus her frustration started wearing off, she can see
and feel that we understand her if she uses the signs. But thus only us, her
loving family knows what she wants, her little friends look at her perplexed,
and frankly, our heart breaks for her, and wish that she would be operated as
soon as possible.
Please help us, thank you in advance for your generosity.
