A family that fled Ukraine last year came to the United States in desperate need of answers — and a miracle. They feared their young daughter, 2-year-old Zlata Kuzmina, was completely deaf.
But all hope wasn't lost. When they settled in South Carolina, they met a hearing specialist who was able to help, and received an unexpected and precious gift: the gift of sound.
The trip from their home in Odessa, Ukraine, to the United States took nearly two months, with stays in Moldova, the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany. They left everything behind except what they could carry. The"very nice" doctor was Dr. Teddy McRackan, a surgeon and cochlear implant specialist. It turns out his great grandparents fled persecution in Odessa a century before, although he said that's not what connected them.
"We saw that she was responding at very, very loud levels to noise in that right ear," McRacken said.
