I am writing this letter on behalf on my 11 year old son. He has been
deaf since birth but he is a very normal little boy in every other way.
I tried to get a "Hearing Impaired" sign near my home so that people
would be more careful driving down the street. The first time I called,
which was when he was probably about 5 or 6 years old, they told me yes,
they could put a sign. Then they call me back and told me they couldn't
do it because I lived on a private street. I live in a trailer park, and
the street is considered a private on. However, I know no one would
object to the sign. In fact, I think most people would welcome it.
Anyways, after several years of trying to find someone to help me, I am
just going to give up. I can't see why I can't have a sign. It is
totally ridiculous to me!! I recently wrote a letter to my local paper
and even that has not made any difference. But, I guess if there's
nothing I can do, then so be it. 

Sincerely,
Pamela D. Freed
