New York mother, Wendy Wuu, is redefining inclusivity for her 5-year-old deaf son, Deej, in a heartwarmingly creative way. Frustrated by the lack of toys reflecting her son's condition, Wendy started crafting hearing aids for Deej's favorite toy characters. "I wanted my child to feel included," says Wuu. Now, characters like Woody from Toy Story mirror Deej's experiences and offer him a sense of comfort and connection. Wendy's story is a remarkable testament to a mother's love which echoes in her words - "We never see other children or people with hearing aids or cochlear implants in our community." Dive in further to watch how this mom's artistic brilliance makes her son feel seen and included.
