Switched at Birth Actress Asks Community To Help Funds For Deaf Children

VIDEO [ASL] - Switched at Birth actress asks community to help raise funds for ESD (Evangelical School for the Deaf) for a better future. An important message from her heart for the Deaf community.



Stephanie Nogueras, is an actress who plays Natalie on the show ‘Switched at Birth’. Stephanie is issuing a call to action, inviting community to be part of the solution to explain why she is doing a good cause, to raise Deaf awareness in Puerto Rico for a better future. www.gofundme.com/fundesd



Look at USA, already have a several Deaf organizations, events, clubs, sports, etc. A strong Deaf community which is close knit. Many Deaf Americans are proud for who they are, socializing with Deaf/HOH people often, and supportive each other. What about Puerto Rico? Where is that? Secondly, less than 5% Hearing families with Deaf child who can communicate in sign language in Puerto Rico (Documented by David and Marsha.) Can you believe that? 2013?



Deaf schools and mainstreamed schools are in need to improve education system for the Deaf children. I asked a teacher about the Deaf children, she mentioned that most Deaf children have no self esteem or no role models to look up at. They need to grow their self esteem to love themselves. They need to have a role model to look up at so they can achieve anything they dream.



It is time to raise Deaf awareness for a better future!




My volunteers & I are looking forward to visiting Puerto Rico on this Fall. We will be interacting with Deaf Puerto Ricans within the Deaf Community. We hope by sharing our personal stories of accomplishments, we hope to inspire them to believe that they can aspire to achieve anything they dream!



My mother will be educating and inspiring families on building relationships and better communication with their deaf child through lectures and presentations.



In appreciation of your donation, you will receive a small "Thank You" gift in return! Share this on Facebook, Twitter, and even email your friends and family. A donation of $5 can make a huge difference in each child's life.



"We are like one water drop on the surface ocean and make a big wave all over." Make a big impact. :) You can check the video and make a donation through here: www.gofundme.com/fundesd.
