Grayson's Gift
Grayson’s Gift Project provides specialized strobe/bed shaker units for smoke and carbon monoxide detection for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Our Mission
Working to bring the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing together through the promotion of health, safety, education, and awareness. Aiding in the accessibility of equipment and education for the improvement of the quality of life for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Working to bring knowledge of the silent world to the hearing.
Deaf and hard of hearing citizens cannot use traditional smoke alarms because they might not hear them.
Project started in 2014 and is named after a former Gerrish firefighter’s son who was born hard of hearing and has a cochlear implant.
- These units are provided FREE to the deaf and hard of hearing citizens (young and old) and work off of traditional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with transmitters and a receiving unit.
- Traditional smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are also provided FREE with this program if the resident does not have them.
- The units are installed FREE of charge by representatives from the Gerrish Fire/EMS Department and the Gerrish Police Department.
- If a unit is installed in the residence, we provide information to the local 911 Center for emergency response purposes.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing or know of somebody that would benefit from this program please have them complete an application for one of these free units.
