Breaking barriers and empowering the DeafBlind community to live, learn, and thrive.
🎧 Take a moment to listen and learn what this incredible opportunity means for Rocky!
Â
Rocky is raising funds to attend an international conference in Switzerland, and we want you to hear all about this amazing event, why it matters, and how your support can help make it possible!




From a young age, Rocky showed an incredible gift for learning, communicating, and advocating for others. He has always had a passion for helping people find their voice and discover what is possible, regardless of the challenges they may face.
​
In May 2026, Rocky graduated from college and continues to dedicate his time and talents to helping members of the DeafBlind community learn, communicate, and thrive. His goal is to foster communication, independence, and a true sense of belonging—helping young DeafBlind individuals discover their unique voice, build confidence, and become successful, contributing members of society.
​
Rocky has earned his place and made his voice heard within numerous organizations, and most recently, he has had the incredible opportunity to become involved with the World Federation of the DeafBlind.
​
Now, Rocky has an exciting opportunity ahead of him. He needs to raise $15,000 to fund his travel to Switzerland in July 2027, where he will participate in this important international gathering. The funds will help cover airfare, lodging, meals, and travel expenses for both Rocky and his assistant.
​
It’s a big goal—but if there’s anyone who can turn a lofty goal into an incredible adventure, it’s Rocky!
​
We invite you to be part of his journey and help him take his voice, passion, and advocacy to the international stage.
