You helped shape the future for John and his sons
You gave them courage, a sense of belonging, and the opportunity to embrace all that life has to offer
Can you imagine what it might be like to raise a Deaf child? For John, life raising two Deaf sons has been filled with love—but also deep fears. He’s watched them struggle in a world that often overlooks and isolates them.
Thanks to you, families like John’s have found hope and belonging through life-changing support in a welcoming American Sign Language environment.
Silent Voice Canada, an agency you support through ShareLife, facilitates connection and provides family-based resources that combat isolation, remove barriers, enhance skills, and encourage inclusion and belonging.
You open the world for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community
“Ninety-five percent of Deaf kids are born to hearing parents. Sometimes, this is the first Deaf or Hard of Hearing person they’ve ever met and so they’re navigating this new world,” says Kelly MacKenzie, Executive Director of Silent Voice Canada.
Your generous heart helped shape the future for John and his sons—giving them courage, a sense of belonging, and the opportunity to embrace all that life has to offer.
You uplift Deaf children and their parents, providing them with the confidence to see themselves as capable, strong, and full of potential.
