The results were devastating: Marc-Alexandre was diagnosed bilaterally deaf (both ears).
Without a second of hesitation, we took out all of our savings and bought a flight for the 3 of us to go meet an ENT specialist there. When Marc-Alexandre turned 12 months old, we had been recommended to have him checked out in Republic Dominican. Due to lack of medical resources and infrastructure in Haiti, we were unable to obtain a diagnosis right away. We live Haiti, one of the most under-developed country in the world.We suspected the deafness of our son when he was 2 months and a half, as he was not reacting to sound. We are Kamaïa and Darlin Jeanty, parents of 18 months old Marc-Alexandre. This little boy does not share our luck.Please take some time to read his story, DONATE and SHARE THIS POST to help him get access to a cochlear implant surgery, this amazing, life changing technology that will give him back the gift of hearing and speech.Carine Story of Marc Alexandre: Hello everyone. and this is all (or almost) FREE!! We tend to forget how lucky we are. As a French national and a Hong Kong resident, and as a mother of a 6 months deaf baby myself, my family is fortunate enough to have access to the best-in-class health support, excellent medical care and infrastructure.
I spoke to his mother who didn't know what to do and who to turn to, and I felt the need to help them. This would cost USD 30,000 including a trip abroad to get the surgery done (I myself have done research for my daughter and no kidding, it really cost that much). The longer he waits to get the implant, the more irreversible speech and development delay will occur. Long story short, Haiti does not have the proper medical infrastructure and the government support to help this little boy get a cochlear implant surgery that would give him the ability to hear and speak. Raising a funding campaign as I came across the story of Marc Alexander, 18 month baby boy born in Haiti and diagnosed bilaterally deaf (both ears). Help fund a cochlear implant surgery for 18 month old baby
