Kids with

Hearing Loss

Kids with a severe hearing loss in Mexico do not have much chance of learning language, or going to a local school in elementary or high schools grades, let alone college. A bad hearing loss puts them at a disadvantage in jobs, vocations, relationships, and may in fact make life very, very hard.

A Major
Problem

Mexico Lions try to raise about $5000 USD to help pay for hearing aids and supplies for these mission trips. That means Lions Clubs in Mexico donated about $75,000 peso to help pay for things in 2016. Because of the declining peso, in 2017 it cost them over $100,000 pesos! No, not a fair shake by any means: for the young person with the severe loss, or the working person in Mexico.

Great
Successes

The Hearing Lions raised enough funds to secure 350 hearing aids. We are so pleased to again receive an International Assistance Grant from Lions Clubs International. Our trips would not be possible without their support. About 200 people were helped during the week, with about 400 hearing aids.
