Support Jill's Journey to Better Communication

Donation protected
For those of you that know my friend Jill Dickerson, you know what a wonderful person she is. She is kind and always supporting and helping others.She is incredibly outgoing and always trying new things. She is into fitness and always at the gym. If you are in her presence, most likely you are greeted with a warm smile and a big hug.

What you might not know is, even though she always has a smile and loves having a conversation with everyone, it's difficult understanding everyone because she is deaf. She has never been able to hear but is a master at reading lips. She has explained to me at times how it can be quite exhausting on the daily,trying to read lips with most people she comes in contact with. If you're not looking directly at her or talking too fast, even facial hair (mustache) can make understanding difficult.

So, a few months ago she came across some new technology that would allow her to read what people were saying to her through a pair of glasses. These glasses could potentially help Jill with many social settings and bring her the joy that she deserves. She stressed to me that they were very expensive and it was not currently in her budget. I did some research and they looked to be $1,800. So I'm hoping that as a community we could pitch in and surprise her with this new technology. Every dollar would be appreciated.
