Virgil
At the age of 1, Virgil’s family noticed his unresponsiveness to loud noises. After a visit to the ENT doctor, it was confirmed that he needed to receive an adenoidectomy along with eustachian tubes to correct his hearing. Thanks to a UHCCF grant, Virgil underwent the necessary procedures and can now fully experience the wonders of sound.
Adrian
Young Adrian was born with Bilateral Microtia and Atresia, meaning both his ear canals were closed. To correct his hearing loss, Adrian’s father discovered bone-anchored hearing aids, or a BAHA system. The BAHA system was not fully covered, so his father applied for a UHCCF grant, which he states was a lifesaver for their family. Adrian is a happy kid who has discovered a newfound ability to hear beyond his prior state!
Owen
Owen is a bright 11-year-old big brother who loves to play piano. In his early years, he was diagnosed with social communication disorder. As insurance didn’t cover the cost of therapy, the help of a UHCCF grant alleviated some expenses for his speech therapy. Owen’s parents express their hope for ongoing support from UHCCF as the cost of living continues to rise.
“Naomi isn’t able to ride a two-wheel bike because of balance issues. It was electrifying hearing we received a grant to fund a three-wheel trike for her. It made her dreams possible.”
