The Adult Loss of Hearing Association would like to thank our members and donors for continuing to support us! Whether you contribute by donation, membership, or the Arizona Qualifying Tax Credit, we appreciate your generosity.
We assure you, these resources are an essential part of our operating budget and covers the cost of staffing, which is the only way we can continue to keep serving you, our patrons. Your donations allow us to continue our community-based programs such as tracking area looped facilities and helping those organizations (churches, theaters, public libraries, etc.) ensure their hard of hearing patrons can take full advantage of their offerings.
From our grateful hearts to your kind and open hearts, thank you! We are here for you!
