Deaf Dad faces Domestic Abuse

$22 of $12,000 goal
Given by 3 generous donors in around 11 months

Raising money for first trip in 57years and the destination/ price is going to be known last minute due to covid requiring flexibility !!

Hawke's Bay

I am raising money for my deaf dad. I am really the only support he has.

Being deaf it is hard to Communicate and apply effective communication for some deaf people . So members of the community including law enforcement proved hard for dad to communicate with. Recently dad was hit so badly that he was hospitalized with broken ribs and a colapsed lung. (As you can see in his photo he was in hospital ) I immediately moved him when he got out into a christian boarding living arrangement . Dad's 57 and has never been able to have a holiday because the financial ,Physical and mental abuse. He tells me now that he is free of the abuse he would love to see Fiji and to buy hearing aids so he can communicate therefore feeling less alienated in society .

He is such a gentle ,Humble and Kind person he REALLY deserves this Holiday .

So the goal with this money is him going on a holiday . I can't confirm when or where at this stage because of covid19 the travel restrictions keep changing .I don't even know what the trip will cost But it will be the first time he has travelled anywhere for a break. I simply want to make sure he has 12k aside for when he can go Somewhere in the Pacific /cook Islands with his family when covid will allow.

Thank you for reading this ,

Any help is appreciated

Bless you
