Relief Packages for the Deaf Community

Donation protected

We all feel the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic we are experiencing now. However, those who were the most vulnerable in the community are now even more vulnerable due to the pandemic. For years the Deaf community in Ensenada has stood up for itself, fought for their own rights to access a job with a livable wage, to access education in their own language, and to access basic necessities to live what we hearing people take for granted. Job discrimination is prevalent, and employers are most likely to hire a hearing person over a Deaf person for the same job. In spite of all that, the Deaf will still find a job if not multiple jobs to get by.

The pandemic has basically caused many places to shut down or scale down their work force, and many that are the first to be let go are Deaf people. The Deaf community in Ensenada has experienced substantial job loss and many are searching for new means of income for themselves and their families. However, all is not lost, the local Deaf association ( Asociación Regional de Sordos Ensenadenses ) have begun collecting basic food necessities and donations  to help these families and individuals most affected by the economic turmoils this pandemic has brought.

As a nonprofit that works alongside the Deaf community in Ensenada (Word Became Flesh Global ), we want to do all we can to mitigate this situation and help provide basic food necessities to families that are struggling financially to make ends meet.

This is where you come in! We are inviting anyone and everyone to be a part of this. This is a team effort and we cannot do this alone. We are hoping to continue this campaign until September or until we meet our goal. We want to give out multiple rounds of packages through out the summer helping feed hundreds of Deaf individuals and families. Love looks like something, and this time love looks like a box of food!
