💛 Hear Me, Hear You: Supporting Kids Like ME on Get Loud Day

Every child deserves to be heard. For me, that journey began with a diagnosis of hearing loss—and a future that felt uncertain. But thanks to the incredible support of The Shepherd Centre his world opened up in ways we never imagined.

This Get Loud Day, we’re celebrating the sounds that shape our lives—and raising funds to help more children like me learn to listen, speak, and thrive.

🎉 Why Get Loud?

Get Loud Day (also known as Loud Shirt Day) is a vibrant, joyful campaign where people wear their loudest shirts to support children with hearing loss. It’s not just about fashion—it’s about making noise for a cause that matters.

Every dollar raised helps provide:

• 👂 Expert audiology and speech therapy

• 🧠 Early intervention programs

• 🎓 School readiness support

• 💬 Confidence to communicate and connect

💙 Our Story

When I was first diagnosed, we didn’t know what the future would hold. But The Shepherd Centre gave us hope—and the tools to help me flourish. Today, I'm not just learning to speak—I'm learning to be heard.

 My laughter, my questions, my dreams—they’re all possible because someone believed in me.

Now, we want to pay it forward.
