Withdrawn and in special Ed due to hearing loss

A local student, whose family migrated into the area thought their son would never be able to be more than a 'worker'. His hearing loss kept him from learning English and his native language. His teacher contacted Sertoma for assistance. Working with local doctors and helping with funding, the student can now hear and has blossomed at school. Is learning English, joining in with other kids and being active in school.

Couldn’t hear my grandbabies cry

Until I went to Acenta and Dr. Goulet examined me for hearing aids and the Sertoma club paid for them, I couldn't hear my grandbabies cry or go to church and hear the sermon.
