I don't know how expensive it would be, but you could go to this thing where they teach you how to speak. Or you could go to a doctor, and see if there are any surgeries you could go through.

Ask your doctor to refer you to a social worker. They usually work at a hospital or clinic and should be able to help you find local funds.\n\nOther possibilities include churches or friends and neighbors raising money for you.\n\nNational Cancer Institute: Financial Assistance\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/support/financial-assistance\n\nThe local chapter of the American Cancer Society may also be able to assist you in some way. Call them and ask:\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/MIT/mit_3.asp?sitearea=MIT\n\nASC: Medical and Financial Assistance Resource\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/MIT/content/MIT_3_2X_Medical_Insurance_and_Financial_Assistance_for_the_Cancer_Patient.asp?

If you are hearing impaired, you can ask for assistance from an usher. They can usually supply you with a device to help you.

try browsing kiva on line.  it is a website that helps underprivileged workers in other countries obtain loans-and YOU help.  You loan the money after you pick a profile (you can loan as little as $25) and the money is paid back to you over time w/out interest. \n\nOf course, even better you can just donate to kiva participants as well.\nvoice of martyrs is also a good organ. to give to, they help persecuted Christians all over the world. "remember those that are in chains"\nYou could also support a child: Christian children's fund, feed the children (did you know there are starving kids here in America?) \n\nWe can all do something...I'm glad it's on your mind.\nBless you!!\n\nP.S. i posted a question about kiva a day or two ago and the girl who answered listed another website that's good too...you might check it out.\nWe can Be a Blessing every day

This is something to contact the hospital about, either to their billing department or a social worker.  Most hospitals are willing to work out some type of payment plan, if that is something that he can do.  They could point him to the right direction for any type of aid available in your area.

Try the Lions Club in your area or The Department of the Blind.  The Knight's Templar also will help sometimes.  Also, the Workforce Development Force will sometimes help so the person can become employable again.  Many of the universities will help also.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Perhaps that is a question better answered by your bishop or pastor.  They might know of some programs that can help pay for your mission.  I know my church has a program for people who can't afford missions.  Good Luck and congratulations on the mission!

LOOK ONLINE, IN PHONE BOOKS, IN LIBRARIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES FOR THE FOLLOWING. CONTACT THEM AND REQUEST YOUR NEED>\n\nTry any and all handicap organizations and groups.  Try various government agencies for aid and assistance.  Try any church and ask for help.  Try local charities and help groups in your community at large.  Try looking online and do a search for 'free wheelchairs' etc...\nCome up with some sort of a casual campaign/request for your brother.  Write up something, A NICE HEARTFELT letter or flyer and send it out or rather if possible call and fax it/send it, or deliver when possible and talk with people about your need.  Put it out in the world and more than likely you will find what you need.  It's a good cause and request to ask for.  \nJust start asking people nicely if they can help and you both should be ok!\n\nGood luck!

I recently got my hearings allmost completly paid for by the bureau of Vocational Rehab, and the Ohio Rehabilitation services, They payed for it because my hearing loss was affecting my work.  \n\nI would suggest that the first step would be to contact a local audiologist and find out if they work with any agencies like that in your area, most of them will give a free hearing test and refer you to any local agencies that will help.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck and I hope that you find the help you need!\n\nAlso, Galluadet university has a list on their website (www.gallaudet.edu) that has a bunch of national programs that provide assitance to the hard of hearing and hearing Impaired.
