My life, in Pennsylvania, as a deaf man; a father without his children; a married man without a wife; a man without a country has been enough to consider suicide.
I live in a homeless shelter. My work visa expired years ago. I have no savings and cannot come up with money to pay for my citizenship.
I have been in America for over 20 years.
I still believe in America. I did own a car and many of my dreams from childhood came true.
I am fluent in American Sign Language. I can speak English, although, as a deaf man, I prefer not to speak aloud. I love my culture . . . the deaf.
I love American Sign Language. It gave me full communication. It gave me my own language.
I still hope to live an American dream. I still have hope.
I am still deaf. I am a deaf man.
I am a father. I am proud to be Guatemalan. I am intelligent. I am willing to work.
I become homeless and am a man without a country. Immigration will not hear my plea and will not send me home I have no lawyer or interpreter to help me.
There are none so deaf as those who do not hear.
I hear you. I see you with my eyes. I listen more in this way. I am an artist. I am a man. A deaf man. I am a proud man.
