Damaged Ear Nerves, Ichan Fights Lifelong Deafness
Fundraiser
Ayu Retno Ningtiyas is Ichan's mother

Meet Ichan, a 7-year-old boy who has been battling severe hearing loss and hypospadias since birth. Born prematurely and faced with frequent illnesses, Ichan’s journey has been filled with challenges. By the age of two, it became clear that he could not hear, and after extensive testing, doctors confirmed that Ichan had profound hearing loss in both ears. Despite their financial struggles, his parents, Agung and Ayu, did everything they could to support him, borrowing money to buy hearing aids and starting speech and occupational therapy. Yet, as his condition didn’t improve, they were advised that cochlear implants might be the solution, offering him the chance to hear and communicate more effectively.

Ichan’s parents work tirelessly to provide for him, with Agung selling snacks on the street and Ayu working as a factory security guard. But their combined income is unstable, and they live in a rented home, barely making ends meet. Despite their best efforts, Ichan’s parents still face enormous challenges. They have already borrowed money to pay for one cochlear implant surgery, but the cost for further treatment—especially the specialized surgery Ichan needs in South Korea—is far beyond their means. The family dreams of giving Ichan a brighter future, where he can hear clearly and grow up without limitations, but they are trapped by financial constraints.

This is where we can help. Ichan’s family needs our support to raise the funds necessary for his surgery and ongoing medical care. With your generous contribution, we can help cover the cost of Ichan’s treatment, ensuring that he receives the care he deserves. Together, we can give Ichan the chance to hear, communicate, and live a life filled with opportunities. Please join us in making Ichan’s dream a reality. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in his life.
