Regular · Medical · Completed · Raised $1,045

This is for Benjamin Shaijan, a 7 year old who is studying in third class at Holy Family LP school, Angamaly. This request came from his father, Mr. Shaijan Vadakan. The child was diagnosed with tuberculosis at 3 years of age and had treatment for tuberculosis. The child was recently diagnosed with hearing deficit on the left ear, which is being attributed to tuberculosis and treatment. The ENT doctor treating the child has recommended a hearing aid. His father suffered a stroke last year. His father sings in churches and has no steady income. The child has three more siblings too. They are looking for help to buy the hearing aid.
