A need at Radiant Life Christian Community church----

Andy Verner, pastor at Radiant Life (Pittsburgh Mills), needs our help to
find someone who "signs".

He has 4-5 deaf folks who would like to attend their services. If you know
someone who could help with communication during the services for these
folks with hearing disabilities, please contact Andy directly at
radiantlifecc@ comcast.net

Thank you!

 
Need Help with Interpreting 

 

I belong to a yahoo group that has nothing to do with deaf people. One of
the people in the group sent a post asking for help for her daughter who is
a boy scout troop leader.

Her daughter is having a hard time with the communication barrier between
the parents (deaf) and the child (also deaf). They do have 1 hearing child,
but they said that having that child interpret is not an option.

They are in the Cheswick, PA area and are looking for someone to volunteer
to translate.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please contact me so that I can
pass the information on to this woman for her daughter. If they don't find
someone, their child will have to not participate in extracurricular
activities. They are having the same problem with softball.

Thanks,
Debbie Dilks
