I'm Marina Cherneavscaia, mother of Maxim Cerneavschi. We have a huge request for all who can help us in our situation. Maxim is 4 years old, he was diagnosed with deep bilateral deafness. This is a wonderful child and the investigations showed that he had no health problems, but my mother's intuition told me when he was a year old that something is wrong. Maxim did not react when I talked with him. At one time, the child picked up a powerful virus, which, we thought, affected his hearing. Now, we do not know for sure why he has these hearing problems. It's hard for me to describe our situation, there were days when I was constantly crying. Now Maxim hears on 60% using a device... after a lot of lessons, classes. With the help of the Cochlear Association, Maxim has a chance to get a cochlear implant worth 21,000 euros, while parents can make a contribution of only 5,000 euros. The sum is huge for us, because only my husband works, and I am with Maxim daily, because I want him to be happy, I care about him and about his upbringing. We only have 2 months to collect this money. I ask you to help us, I waited for this project for two years and now we have the chance. He is a very active, energetic child who fills the house with his smileand laughter....he is the meaning of our life. Please help us.
