    Story

    hi everyone il put up a brief description as to why we have started this fundraising page , Kacie-Rae was born with a abnormal afterbirth and was immediately rushed to Trevor Mann after she was born , after 3 days on a cool mat she finally made it through and started to get stronger by the day , however after she started to get better we was told the bad news , Kacie-Rae was deaf , after a lot of soul searching by all the family we came to terms with her illness but we all knew it wasn't going to be easy but we got on and did the best we could , but as you can imagine a lot of time was dedicated to her and all the appointments at ear nose and throat, audiology and other appointments there really has been to many to count , after lots and lots of appointments and specialist we found out that her hearing will not get any better infact it will get only worse as she gets older , we were told that that the problem started with what they call connection 26 in brief there is part of Kacie-Raes ear drums that she simply just doesn't have , but this was a gene that was carried by both mother and farther , the gene on its own isn't a problem but when two people have it and it comes together that is when it becomes a connection 26 and this is what Kacie -Rae has got , she has got hearing aids but she still struggles but if you know Kacie she always trys her best she does amazing lip reading but this doesn’t always work if you out and about in crowed places ECT so when she started school we got introduced to a Radio Aid this is basically a microphone that you wear and she has the transmitters attached to her hearing aids this gives her a direct feed from your voice straight to hearing aids it blocks out all background noise this does cost a lot of money but will benefit her in the long term , but we simply cannot afford it and its not available on the NHS , so we thought we would give this a go and see if we cant help raise what is needed to get this vital equipment for her.

      Kacie-Rae does Martial Arts this is just one example of how this Raido Aid helps her. She has Martial Arts every Monday which is in a huge hall with other activities going on throughout the session and she never moans even though she can only reply on the watching what other people are doing or lip reading but once again she gives 100% if not more But yesterday her instructor used the Radio Aid for the 1st timed and it was unbelievable, she was more focused, more alert just a differernt child... This is what her instructor wrote.
