Sabrina Blount is a Deaf African-American woman and a single mother who was kidnapped, abused, raped, robbed and left for dead in North Carolina. She needs 20,000 to take care of Sabrina's health as she had to be rehabbed & recover from the severe injuries.



On other hand, Ed & Lisa Bosson are Deaf white couple from Texas who lived in a well-to-do neighborhoods in Wimberley about 20-25 miles southwest of Austin. They lived in a house which has the Blanco River right behind their backyard. And they got flooded - only downstairs were destroyed. Ed & Lisa made lots of good salaries when they worked at Texas School for the Deaf, University of Texas, Texas Public Utility Commission and CEO of Convo Relay. They asked for 30,000 dollars to replace what they lost in their home.



Sabrina Blount raised $5,165 in 25 days http://www.gofundme.com/tg85nsks.



The Bossons raised $16,790 in 24 hours http://www.gofundme.com/bosson.



What is wrong with this picture? Please watch this vlog in ASL.

There are many unfortunate Deaf people that needs this funding. The Bossons are not poor. They are well-to-do couple. Their home costs over 500,000 dollars. Their home is pretty huge 2,197 sq foot with 2.6 acres.



Ed used to work for Texas PUC as Administrator - earned over $100,000. I'm sure they have money hidden away, they did not want to touch that, they only wanted to use people's funds to replace what they lost.



Right now, Austin Lawn Service owned by Paul Rutowski is volunteering to clean Ed's property for free which is very nice of him and his company to do. But there are many Deaf people who are going through the same thing, will Paul do the same for others? I think not. So it appears to me that they are practicing elitism at its worst. -Ridor9th



Please donate to help Sabrina Blount to cover the medical costs, http://www.gofundme.com/tg85nsks. Why donate to the rich bastard, Ed and Lisa Bossons instead Sabrina Blount, who is a poor and victim of crime? Yep, there is something wrong with this picture. This is shameful thing to see that some Deaf people still are racists out there.
