Deaf History

Request Funding/donation for the projects

I want to share with you all the links I plan to use to raise funds or donate to specific projects of Waikato Deaf Society Inc. and Waikato Deaf Units, such as [Project 1] and [Project 2].

There are no resources or stories in the library or on the website. Many people and the families of their ex Deaf members do not know a lot about the Deaf seniors’ lives through Waikato Deaf Society Inc., Their experience in their Deaf community is unique and different from other communities. They face unique challenges, such as specific challenges, which can often be hidden, silenced, or forgotten. These struggles are usually due to barriers such as communication within the families, staff, and the people in the community, where we may not resolve the difficulty in the Deaf Seniors’ lives. The Deaf Seniors’s children (CODA – Children/Child of the Deaf Adults) may remember the good times and learn to understand their parents’ struggles with many barriers and the good times such as camping, outings and getting involved with social.

The projects are the main resource for publication, such as publishing books for the community and websites I made under WordPress.com

I have started collecting and scanning photos to write stories along with the Deaf senior who is supporting me. I need the funds for travel costs, hours of research and writing, scanning photos to a good laptop with large memory (GB), video chats by recording, the cost of paying monthly through the WordPress site and many other tasks.

Here are a couple of fundraising/donation links to the projects. If you can help, please share them with your family and friends and spread this message. Your support, no matter how small, is invaluable to us, and we are deeply grateful for it.
