Unfortunately, Government funding is only available for one of the implants, and the cost of another implant is extremely costly. With a goal of $6,000 to $10,000, Maria aims to help 3 families in Wellington who need funds to pay for a 2nd cochlear implant for their infants.  

The fundraising event includes the opportunity to win an iPad 3, a luxury getaway, a deluxe gliding flight and much more. Show your support and check out the event or make a donation at www.thegiftofsound. co.nz.
