Deaf-Mute

I was on the train to Waterloo the other day, I looked up at the advertisements as I was traveling and I happen to notice a charity that displayed about people who are "deaf mute". This means, they are not able to hear any sounds nor can they make a sound themselves.

It immediately got to me, I feel really awful knowing out there, there are people who are unable to hear their partners, family, friends or anything nor are they able to speak or express themselves the way people like myself can.

I really want to work for a charity who help these people, but sadly I feel I am unable to help but to donate money. I feel money can help but not much, actions are better than actual monetary items. But I guess it can help by a bit.

I am very thankful I am able to see, hear and speak. I have to thank my parents. I remember being told when I was born, everyone thought I wasn't able to speak because I was quiet. In fact, I didn't cry at all until the doctors had to pat me, for me to make a sound. If you look at me, I'm not a person to talk much unless I am with friends or family. I get shy. But, I feel very fortunate that I am able to hear someone telling me that they love me and I am able to tell them that I love them too.
