DeafHope Receives Grant from Target for the Children’s Program
Oakland, CA (February 29, 2008) – Today Target announces a partnership with DeafHope in recognition of its efforts in supporting Deaf children and hearing children of Deaf mothers who experienced domestic and/or sexual violence. DeafHope received a grant from Target in the amount of $2,738.00 for support of the DeafHope Children’s Violence Prevention and Healing Program.
This grant will help many children like this 11-year hearing old son of a Deaf woman, “I feel so scared when I am alone because I get bad dreams that my father would go after us again. He hurt me before when I tried to protect my mom. Now my mom and I have moved far away from him, I still get flashbacks. I worry about my mom. Often I have to interpret for her with the police and the lawyers. We do not talk about what happened, but I would like to”.
