How you could make a difference...
Imagine if it were you. You're deaf or hard of hearing, your utilities are about to be cut off and no one is there to help you. Or maybe you have an urgent medical problem and need an interpreter. It's tax time: You don't understand the forms, and can't communicate with an accountant. You have skills, but you need someone to help you with a job interview.
Where would you turn for assistance?
You could turn to DeafConnect of the Mid-South. We provide a lifeline for the deaf and hard of hearing in Memphis and the surrounding area. Anyone can sustain hearing loss at any age, and it can be gradual or sudden. It can affect the ability to read and write, as well as the ability to communicate. People who are in such a situation need help.
We're there.
We strive to improve their quality of life and, in turn, contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of the community.
We're currently self-supporting for approximately 65 percent of our funding. But first we need your help.
