Child of Deaf Adults Severely Injured, Family in Need of Help

A cyberfriend from Minnesota (Chris Lex) alerted me to this: a seven year old hearing child, Brynn Duncan, with a deaf father (Cody Duncan; mother Dixie works for Minnesota Relay), was in a car accident in August that left her severely injured, and the family in need of help to get a new home that the child can get around in (the home they are selling is too small, only 800 square feet) once she recovers enough to be able to come home. If what is on the child's CaringBridge website journal is any indication, it could be awhile before she is able to come home.

Brynn has had quite a fight to stay alive, and faces more battles as she is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Chris tells me that he knew Dixie as his interpreter at Communication Service for the Deaf.
