America Quote by Paul Raci

“How must that feel to any Deaf person, especially a culturally Deaf person, who hears nothing? Who goes through life, living their life here in America, and it's as though you're not really in your own country, because nobody speaks your language? It's devastating, to say the least, for many people.” quote by Paul Raci — Download Open image
