Aid the Silent is a Texas-based nonprofit that helps deaf and hard-of-hearing children and teens receive equal access to opportunity by providing financial assistance to enhance communication methods; gain access to education resources; and to improve their overall health, both mental and physical, that leads to individual growth socially, educationally and spiritually. Aid the Silent strives for equality for the deaf community. Our Mission We raise the necessary funds to provide HOH/deaf children/teens the tools and resources to help them find personal success. Whether that be through resources such as FM systems or hearing aids, through resources such as speech therapy or learning ASL, or through learning about Jesus through Deaf Young Life events and camps. Through our social outings and fundraisers, we have raised funds for our mission, but also brought the community together. Every event we are a part of is fully deaf and hard-of-hearing accessible with live captioning and interpreters. Through our partnerships with industry professionals, ministry leaders, educators and the hearing loss community we have been able to bring about change in an unprecedented way. We provide 6 areas of resources: Hearing aids | FM systems | ASL lessons (family or individual) Speech therapy | Deaf Young Life | Registration for Christian-based summer camps We support the ENTIRE HOH/deaf community. We support #deafunity. Together—as one—we are a much stronger voice! Why We Do It We believe it is crucial to be able to communicate, whether by speech or ASL. Since its inception, we have had amazing opportunities to hear heartfelt stories. We have been given the tools to be an advocate for this unheard group of people. Aid the Silent advocates for the entire deaf and hard-of-hearing community both on a local and national level. We believe every person deserves an equal opportunity at success and we strive to bring awareness their needs.
