Testimonials

My family was going through some difficult financial times. Our son really needed the services offered through the UM Speech and Hearing Center, but we simply couldn't afford it anymore. The Client Assistance Program (CAP) made it possible for our son to continue therapy. Early intervention is essential, and it wouldn't have been possible for us to give our son the good start he deserves without the CAP assistance. Now we are back on our feet financially and can pay for it ourselves. Thank you CAP, and thank you MSHC!!!!

"The Client Assistance Program made the difference between me replacing my lost hearing aid or going without hearing. I would never have been able to afford it without assistance due to losing my job during COVID."

"Without this program I could never have gotten my daughter's new hearing aid. I am a single mother caring for myself and my daughter (who is disabled). The process was easy especially being limited with English. I was a relief to find help for us in in our language and affordable care."

"Being on the financial assistance program was such a blessing. It came at a very hard time in my life when I was transitioning to who I am today. I had very little funds but finding my voice was such a big part of being myself. It made my visits affordable, and I was able to achieve my goal and encourage others to do so as well."

"The program helped my sister to get the help she needed. Insurance ain't always enough and she could not budget to handle anymore but she needed help. Ya'll were there to help her. And you did it without shaming her and that is important in life. People look down on people that admit they need help and that is why we don't ask. But I am glad the young lady was there to see beyond and ask."
