ALDA - money required!

[Guest guest]

I'm just gonna share my experience and I dont know if anyone else

has had this happen to them or not. But right after I went deaf a lot

of people said write to ALDA and they will give you all this help. I

wrote to ALDA the first time and got a response that they were gonna

give my info to someone else and they would contact me. I never

was contacted so after a while another friend that has NF that isnt

on the crew urged me to try again.

I tried again and got a response this time but only one...I wrote back

again and still go no response except my information was given

to someone else and they would contact me. Of course this didnt

happen, so it seems like they really didnt give a crap. Maybe it was

because I didnt send them money right away, so they didnt feel the need

to help? I really think that is the case here - I was directed to their web

site of course and I didnt write out that check, so I might be deaf but if

you dont write the check, you dont get the help I guess.

It seems from my observation that they want too much for

ALDAcon also. Someone recently posted that NF corp was giving them

all these grants/funds to help out with ALDAcon. But they still charge

us NF'rs the full ass amount. I would love to go but cant afford what

they want to pull out of my pockets. Where is ALDA using all this

money going that NF foundation is giving them? Obviously they would

still have the RT paid for if any NF'rs showed up or not becuase

everyone is late deafened and that is a necessity among other things

also. You'd think they might give a discount or try to help NF'rs get

there if NF foundation is handing over all this money. But their thanks

is the full blown amount and their more than happy to take your money.

-Doesnt really think ALDA is that great and

their money sucking pigs in my opinion!
