Samantha Charintranond is set to support Your Hearing Dog for Giving Tuesday 2024 and the end of year giving. Please consider supporting us as we support the deaf and hard-of-hearing community as well as veterans with the same challenges.
YHD was uniquely captured by KKTV in Colorado Springs. Please view this short story that was created by Lindsey Grewe and captures the essence of what YHD does.
If you choose to support YHD, where would you donation be used? If you don't specify then it would be utilized to support our dog training so we can place more hearing service dogs. Why? Because the cost to fully train ONE dog is $20,850.
What can a fully trained hearing dog do? Besides providing much-needed companionship, they basically become the owner's ears. They alert to sounds such as:
- A knock at the door
- An alarm clock
- An oven timer
- A baby crying
- Smoke or fire alarm
Hearing dogs have even saved lives. Imagine being deaf and the fire alarm goes off. A deaf person wouldn't be able to hear it. A hearing dog is trained to jump up on their owner and then get down on its belly to crawl around on the floor. This signals the owner that an alarm has gone off and to immediately exit the building. The hearing dog hero has led them to safety!
Overall, hearing dogs can greatly improve the quality of life for people who are deaf or hard of hearing by providing them with increased independence, safety, and peace of mind.
So our work is CRITICAL. Would you please help us assist thise truly underserved community? Your support changes lives.
