February 2022 was supposed to be the happiest month in Kateryna’s life – she was expecting her first child. But the joy was overshadowed by a difficult delivery, weeks in intensive care, and diagnoses that kept changing one after another. And then – the war. While the country was trembling from explosions, Kateryna was fighting for her son’s life. Nights in the hospital shelter, fear, confusion, and faith – against all odds. Now Zhenia is three years old. He is a cheerful, lively boy, but he has hearing impairments. The chance to hear the world, thanks to hearing aids from the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, is a great victory for Zhenia. Now Kateryna dreams of a great victory for the whole country. So that her son can grow up in peace, in silence without explosions, in a world where to hear means simply to live.
