Happy
Holiday to you all!
This
holiday season brings great welcome news: The year, 2020, has been a blessing
for Helping Hands for the Deaf (HHD). HHD has been awarded for a grant from the
Greater Atlanta COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund. This grant is made
possible because of you all who have dedicated into making HHD a success! I’m
grateful that you have walked into my life and make the difference in my life.
Soon, this year will come to a close, but the new year will be challenging for
HHD. May God bless HHD for the year 2021! Hopefully, food will be distributed
to the deaf community.
The Chief of the Fire Department donated
120 flash alarms to HHD so that they will be distributed to the deaf community.
God has blessed the deaf community with the fire alarms for protection that
will save lives and property.
HHD has served hot food meal to deaf
community because of the COVID-19 impact. These people are blessed and relieved
to be served with hot meals. We show that we care about them.
A house of the deaf family had fallen
into the dire need of major repairs which they couldn’t afford to fix. The roof
of their home leaked during rain and the water rolled down on the walls of living
room and kitchen. Their insurance would not fix the roof leak and the roof was
probably damaged by the terrible wind. So, HHD came to help this deaf family by
searching and finding someone who could fix the roof leaks and repair all
around the house. Somehow, HHD found and contacted one contractor. The
contractor came to fix the leaking roof and repair many things around the
house. Their deck was painted white. Now, their house looks wonderful with new
roof as shown in the pictures below.
Everyone should have one main goal for holiday
season this year: keep friends and family safe. I thank once again for each of
you who prevented the spread of dangerous COVID-19 pandemic while HHD was
hosting the fundraising events. Moreover, I want to thank you all who dedicated
your precious time, energy and resources to help those who were struggling to
survive. Indeed, you have shown your spirit with Christ.
I
pray that you will have a wonderful blessing on your holiday and a Happy New
Year.
Best
Regards,
Meskel
Crowe, Director of Helping Hands for the Deaf (HHD)
