The end of the year holiday season can be especially isolating for deaf/disabled incarcerated people and their loved ones. Each December, HEARD sends funds to our currently and formerly incarcerated community in the spirit of radical love for and solidarity with our loved ones impacted by incarceration.

These funds mean so much to our community. In the past community members have stated:

“THANK YOU!!! This money is greatly appreciated and helps me out so much as I no longer have family support. Truly yours and a new friend. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
“Good morning, HEARD, (everybody!!) What a best news I ever have from you that you have me in your mind…many thanks for a gift. I truly appreciate that. It's so nice to feel loved and cared for by somebody, especially HEARD people!... Happy Holidays and God bless you all”
“ …I just text to say thank you for all the love and support and to wish you all a happy new year…thank you for your many blessing.”
“Wow! This is unexpected but thank you for your gift! Happy Holidays!”

Won’t you show our community some love this holiday season? We welcome contributions of any size - and every dollar raised will go to community members for:

commissary funds for people who are incarcerated;
family travel and visitation support for community with incarcerated loved ones; and
welcome home packages and mutual aid and support for those just coming home, which includes clothing, technology, funds for groceries and clothing, and more.

Please share this request with your loved ones and friends so they have an opportunity to donate to this great cause also. Thank you in advance for your support!
