Loud Shirt Day 2023

Natalija was just a teeny newborn when we received the news that she had profound hearing loss. I can still remember the moment when the audiologist told us, "Your daughter is profoundly deaf. She can hear a jet plane as a quiet whisper."

In that instant, our world was turned upside down. We were overwhelmed with a flood of emotions - fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But then, NextSense entered our lives. They provided us with the warmth, care, and support we so desperately needed.

Thanks to NextSense, Natalija received the most amazing early intervention support. They gave her specialised services and access to programs that helped her learn to listen, recognize sounds, and even improve her speech. And here we are today, with Natalija at 9 years old, blooming into a confident, incredible girl.

She's a whirlwind of energy - loving soccer, basketball, and playing chess at school. But what truly warms my heart is seeing her interact with her friends - she is a warm, caring soul. Natalija has become a little advocate, determined to ensure that every child like her gets the support they need. Nothing can hold her back, and she's determined to reach for the stars.

Natalija's confidence and strength inspire me every single day. She's shown me what it means to have unwavering determination and resilience. I'm so grateful to have witnessed her transformation and growth. Through her, I've come to understand the importance of supporting and nurturing children with hearing loss, and creating a world where they can thrive.

Natalija's journey has taught me that children with hearing loss can achieve greatness. She's proof that organisations like NextSense have the power to change lives - not only for the children, but for their families too.

Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunities they deserve.


 Natalija, thank you for being the shining light in our lives. Your confidence and determination are truly remarkable. Keep chasing your dreams, knowing that you're making a difference in the world. We're here to support you every step of the way.
