The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

Deafness is hereditary and I am going deaf. At the present time, I do wear two hearing aids. I don't know sign language and I will be able to get more assistance and support from the deaf community if I become fluent in sign.

A school for the deaf near me offers these classes. There are a total of six different levels of classes.

I'm a hard worker and love to work. I just need help transitioning into the deaf community. I'm scared and just want this process to go smooth.

I feel with your help you will be able to make that possible. I only work part time so funds are limited to what I can afford. Thank you so very much for your time and consideration.

I want to take this time to not only say thank you but to share my grateful for all of you that has decided to help me. Asking for help is not something I do well and have found myself in a position in life where I had to. I'm so grateful God has chosen you to come into my life and feel so blessed that we have people like you in this world that can help someone like me. I hope and pray some day I will have the opportunity that you have to bless someone's life like you did mine. Thank you so much again I don't want to go through this process of losing my hearing however you are making it just a bit easier to face. I wish everyone of you the best in life and always know you will forever have my gratitude.. Julie
