Janice Capiluto Center for the Deaf:
Past Tense
- Your generous donation of $50.00 could provide an hour of
interpreting services for a man who is deaf and needs a
communication link in order to resolve a serious food stamp
issue. Through the use of an interpreter, he was able to
correct the problem and once again provide food for his family.
It is your financial assistance that made this possible.
- A donation of $100.00 dollars provided interpreting services
for a father to attend the funeral of his son, who was killed
while serving our Great Country. Without that service, he would
not have been able to understand the wonderful things that were
said during the eulogy. One hundred dollars also provided
services for a woman who was deaf so that she could fully
participate in her daughter’s wedding and understand every
moment of this once-in-a-lifetime event!
Future Tense
- Your generous donation of $50.00 to $100.00 or more could
provide interpreting services in a variety settings. Your
donation could allow an individual who is deaf to resolve a
serious financial issue, or pay for the interpretation of a
military funeral for a soldier’s family. Your donation could
also allow parents who are deaf to participate in their
daughter’s wedding, and to fully experience the “I do” moment.
