“In July, our family had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Cochlear Implant Family Camp in Estes Park, Colorado. In the picturesque location of the YMCA of the Rockies we spent 3 nights getting to know other families sharing the same life experiences as ours. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredibly generous grant from the Baxter Foundation. The camp allowed us all to connect with others like ourselves. Not only was our daughter surrounded by other kids with cochlear implants, but our hearing son was around other hearing siblings, and we were around parents who have travelled similar journeys to our own. This allowed us to both connect with others individually while also providing a bonding experience for our family which we will cherish for many years to come. We can’t express how much this experience meant to our family. Not can we properly express our gratitude to the Baxter Foundation for allowing us to take advantage of this opportunity.”
