In July Margarita from a little village in Ukraine turned 2 years old. But the girl still can not speak... Six months ago, she was diagnosed with a terrible illness - bilateral sensory neural deafness of the fourth degree. When Margarita was 1 year and a couple of months old, her parents realised that something is wrong. She won't react when someone tries to talk to her and won't turn around when called by name. It's heartbreaking that Margarita is unable to hear all the lovely words parents tell her and unable to call them in the middle of the night if she had a bad dream. Margarita's family spend all their savings on private doctors and tests to help their daughter, but only cochlear implantation would help her to hear and learn to speak. Doctors assure that Margarita will be able to hear anything after the surgery, however it costs £25,000 per implant, and that's just for one ear.

We are trying to raise the money for at least one implant...

Please help Margarita to hear, she is a lovely and active little girl who deserves to hear and talk like most of us.

We would be immensely grateful for any contribution towards our fundraising target and thanks for the love, support and generosity people have shown to Margarita.
