what you can do
Imagine if you lost your voice...
How would you be you?​
How would others know you?
​
When you lose your voice, you can feel isolated from others.
If you're a parent with a child you might feel like you've lost a connection with them.
If you're a child you might not feel any real connection with your immediate family. There is technology to give people without a voice their voice back. That's why it's important to donate.
We're giving back to global, national, regional, and local communities by using something we all take for granted and giving it to those who no longer have the luxury of a voice.
We have already gotten 9 people signed up wich is more than 20% of our grade and we've gotten more than 11 hours of voice donation. People who have donated to this cause are: Abbey, Marco, Sarah, Ruby, Raquel, Aleksander, Laura, Charlotte, and Bahia.
Please help those in need today. We could really use the support as not a lot of people know about these diseases. To sign up all you need to do is press the "Donate Your Voice Today" button and add in information as needed to create an account. Then you need to follow the instructions that the website provides you before you start recording. The recording process takes 5-7 hours but I promise it's worth it.
