DEB Community Hub for Deaf, HoH and Non-Deaf!

Introduction:

Welcome to Def Events & Beyond's Inc (DEB), where we are embarking on a transformative journey to establish a permanent space – the DEB Community Hub. As we approach our 10th anniversary in 2024, we're thrilled to launch this campaign, inviting you to join us in creating a long-term hangout space for all community members in the GTA.

About Us:

For almost a decade, DEB has passionately worked towards fostering unity and accessibility among the Deaf/Hard of Hearing and non-Deaf communities. At the current moment, we're aiming to take our commitment to the next level by providing a dedicated space for all community members to gather, connect, and have fun together.

With your support, we aim to secure the funding needed to establish the DEB Community Hub, and enable further to our mission of fostering unity, accessibility and inclusion.

Our Vision:

The DEB Community Hub will be a physical and welcoming space for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, non-Deaf individuals, and families throughout the GTA. It's more than just a physical location. It's a place where diverse communities can come together, build lasting connections, and create shared memories.

Why We Need Your Support:

Our goal is to secure a long-term space for the DEB Community Hub. Your contribution will allow us to establish a space that goes beyond hosting events, as it will serve as a central hub for the community, providing a sense of belonging and a space for shared experiences.

How Your Contribution Will Make a Lasting Impact

Space Acquisition: Secure a central location accessible to all Deaf/Hard-of-hearing/Non-Deaf community members of the GTA

Hub: Create an inclusive environment with the necessary amenities including a community kitchen, media room, party room and all other necessary spaces.

Accessibility Upgrades: Ensure the space is fully accessible for individuals with diverse needs

Community Programs: Develop and partner up with other agencies to make engaging programs for everyone

Supporting Families: Recognizing the challenges parents face, we want the DEB Community Hub as a supportive environment. If parents find themselves busy, the hub could become a safe space where they can drop off their kids. With the inclusion of a community kitchen, other members can step in to help care for the children, engaging them in learning and games until parents are ready to pick them up after work.
